Chapter 3: Break Away

Disclaimer: I do not own Marth, Roy or Altea. Any other characters are mine and mine alone if u wish to use them ask me first.

Note: this story will be violent cause that is how I write. If u have any problems with that I can't help you. I apologize to the Fire Emblem fans for placing my fanfic in the wrong section. Please forgive. And as for my story being similar to someone else's that was coincidence.

Feedback: Yes!!! Please. It would be most appreciated.

Roy woke up to find himself in a place he didn't recognize. "Duh," he thought, "I don't recognize this place because I've never been here." Upon closer examination of his surroundings he found that he was in a small makeshift camp. Marth was only a little ways away and by the looks of it still asleep, though he'd be waking up soon. His hands were now bound in front of him and his feet were chained and staked to the ground. His abs were sore from the horses back jostling him around. Roy pushed himself up a little and quickly scanned the forms of the sleeping men around the fire. He did not see Tout or Ero and he began to wonder how he had gotten here, but the dull thumping in his head wouldn't allow it. The first rays of the sun would penetrate the sky soon. Roy turned his attention to Marth who had begun waking up. "Maybe Marth has some answers." Thought Roy.

" 'Mornin," greeted Roy, "Might I ask what we are doing here and who they are?" Added Roy gesturing over to the sleeping men.

The pounding in Marth's head had resided some. At least enough for him to think clearly. He looked down at his feet and gave a small sigh when he saw that they were chained and staked to the ground. Then he continued, "Wat we are doing here my guess is to become slaves. Maybe not cooperative slaves, but slaves none the less. And I'd say that one of those men," Marth nodded towards the men that had started to wake, "Is to be our new… captor." He chose that last word carefully for he was not about to call anyone "Master". Roy nodded his head in thanks for the information.

Gradot rose and ordered his men to break camp. He wanted to leave as soon as possible. The sooner they were at his house (if you would call it a house. It was more of a palace then anything except there was no royalty) the less chance his new slaves had of escaping. He noticed the two were awake and talking and started to walk over to them. "Ah, I see that my two new creatures have awoken."

Marth looked around as if trying to locate the "new creatures"then he turned to the man and said, "I'm sorry but I am afraid you are mistaken, there are no pets here save the horses."

"And he comes with a sense of humor. We will be leaving soon." Said Gradot and he left.

"Marth if we are gonna escape we have to soon." Whispered Roy.

"I know, once they lift the stakes make a run into the woods over there and try to loose them." Said Marth flicking his thumb in the direction he meant.

"Good idea. Here they come." Roy said.

Luck was on their side because only two men came over to take the stakes out. Marth waited until his feet were untied to make hi move and so did Roy. Marth jumped up and kicked them man in the stomach then putting his bound hands around the man's neck and pushing hard down hard on the mans back breaking his neck. He dashed off into the woods Roy a little ahead.

Roy, like Marth, waited for his feet to be unbound before he ran punching the man in the face in the passing. Marth was a little bit behind him and so he gathered all his strength and started weaving his way through the woods desperately trying to loose the men not far behind. Marth had caught up to him and they ran for their lives, well freedom.

Half an hour later they caught sight of a small village up ahead and ran even harder because of the new hope just a few minutes in front of them. They ran through the gates that had been opened for a horse carriage and into the nearest bar they could find. They tried their best to blend in with the crowd as they went towards the back.
