Chapter 1
Kayla looked up from picking vegetables her most hated past time as a man came at full gallop headed strait for their village. He stopped right at Kayla " Child let me in to your village I have a most urgent message for your leader." He rasped. Kayla decided to help though the comment about being a child stung a bit because she was 15 come with me. She ran ahead of him and ran to the gate of their small village. " George open the door!" She yelled at the middle age guard who was as usual almost sleep. Hearing the urgency in her voice he hurried with the pulley and opened the gate. Before Kayla had even stepped onto the threshold of her village the man still on his horse hurried in and asked the first villager where the village chief was. Kayla scowled trust men to not look twice at girls like her. Suddenly she realised she had left her basket outside. Now in a bad mood she returned outside to fetch it.
* * * It was dinnertime when the news finally reached Kayla family's hut. Kayla, her older brother Axel, Her mother and father had all sat down to stew when they received a knock on their door. " I'll get it, " said Caris Kayla's father said. He stood up and opened the door there in the door way stood 40 year old man Demis was his name and he was leader of our village. "Can we help you Demis? " Kayla's father asked. Kayla was surprised to see Demis here at this time of the evening he would be eating also with his wife and children. " I am delivering to a message to each house in this village. The messenger that came today is from Corus and is going to each village to warn them of the immortals that are coming his advice is that most of the village the women and children are to go either to Corus itself or the closest Fief. While the men are to head to the camp of the Kings Own witch is just 5 miles away and to fight." He said slowly. " When should we leave?" Asked Kayla's mother. Kayla could tell that her mother did not want to leave behind her home or separate her family. " I'm afraid that the village council has planned that we leave tomorrow." Domis said he looked so forlorn Kayla was sure that this had not been his decision. " I'd advised you to pack now so as to be ready to leave quickly if we must for the messenger told us that the immortals could be on us at any day." Domis turned around and left our house. As Caris closed the door the rest of the family turned to their supper. They ate slowly and in silence finally Kayla broke the silence. " Mama could I stay here and help the boys fight you know I'm as good as them." Kayla was really hopeful here. This could be her great chance to show that she was as good as any boy her age maybe even better. " Absolutely not! You are coming with me to Corus. You're a girl Kayla and are not meant not go off and fight." Her mother said. As she did every time Kayla tried to ask her the same sort of question. " But mother, I've beaten up tons of the boys here. I could help them so much if I could just stay and fight." Kayla was frustrated why couldn't she understand that Kayla liked to fight. " Mom the Shang Cat taught me and I got to be really good. Why can't you understand that, oh yah I know why its because you don't like that I know how to fight and you don't!" Kayla gasped. She had always thought this but never had she told her mom. She knew by the look of her mother's face that she should not have said that her mother was looking more angry then hurt then. " How dare you child say things like that to me upstairs with you now and start packing you are going with me to Corus and that is final and do not want another word out of you now go!" Her mother half screamed half choked in her furry. Kayla just turned her back on her mother and went upstairs. She didn't even cry. She had no reason to cry just to be angry. After supper her brother appeared in the doorway of her room. He was tall and well built just like his sister. They both looked very alike for they both had Dirty blond hair and green eyes but Kayla had fuller lips then her brother though she never thought about them. " That was some row you had with mama usually it's longer though." Kayla could tell that her brother was not patronizing her. He never did they have a long quite well for sister and brother. " Look sis I have and idea on how you can stay behind but you need to trust me and not throw a temper f you hear anything you don't like." He sounded reassuring and Kayla had every reason to listen to him carefully. " Ok here's my idea." Please review tell me if there's anything you don't like but REVIEW
