Chapter Four: The Past that Haunts Us
She was running down the hall, her youngest child in her arms, the others running too, trying to keep up with their frantic mother, Shinkokami and Roald followed as well. They reached the storage rooms. She stuffed her children in closets, hoping to hide them from the murderers. She felt horrible, she had let them kill Jon, she had let her children watch. The only thing she could hope was that they would escape, and live, even if it was a life of fear. They would have survived.
She heard the men before she saw them, their swords and armor clanking up the stairs. She heard them pounding on the door. She turned and drew her knives. She would fight them. She would kill them. She grimaced as the door splintered apart. Scads of men entered the room.
"Queen Thayet." A voice said calmly as the others surrounded her. "You will be given an option. You can join me, and you and your children will die. Or you can refuse." He said, lowering his hood. He had venomous red eyes and silky black hair, and somehow, his perfect face reminded her of a cobra, ready to kill.
"I refuse." She said. The man smiled.
"Bring me Lianne." He said calmly. His men ripped apart the cupboards, Pulling out Lianne. Roald and Shinko. They missed Liam! She realized immediately. They separated the. As quick as lightning Thayet threw a knife, it hummed as it flew. The man pulled Roald up in front of him as a shield. Thayet screamed as the knife buried itself up to it's hilt in his chest. He laughed, a melodic laugh that vibrated off the walls.
He looked a man in the eye, "If you would do the honors." He said. The man grinned and nodded. He pulled out a knife. They're going to kill her. Thayet thought furiously, trying to escape the men who held her.
The man did much worse. My little girl. Thayet screamed in fury as they did the same to Shinko.
"Now will you join me?" He asked.
"Never." She whispered. She had never dreamed something could hurt so much. As the blood flowed from her naked body she looked at the man. "May you burn in the Black gods realm for all eternity." The man simply grinned and ran her through.
Liam awoke, screaming. Ria was next to him, shaking his shoulder. "Liam!" She yelled in frustration. He sat up, colliding with her forehead, he didn't even notice, the sweat ran off his body in waves. He heard Ria mutter something about 'waking the whole inn up.' He was gasping for air his lungs couldn't inhale. His limbs were shaking. Ria watched carefully.
"Sorry." He apologized.
"Care to share what that was about?" She asked. He shook his head. They looked out the window at the pre-dawn light.
"Lets just ride." He said simply. She nodded.
Hours Later Ria finally broke the silence. "We need more people." She said. He nodded.
"I know, I just don't know how to find them. We'd need people our age, people who still remembered the way it was before…" He trailed off.
"I know a guy in Cour- Haimèt, who can refer some people." She said carefully, not wanting to upset him.
"Then we'll speak to him first. He's a thief now correct?"
"Yes."
"Good, cause if we're to attend midwinter we need more money." He said, with a wicked smile. "But of course, I could do that part to." Ria started in amazement.
"You pickpockets?" She asked incredulously, mouth agape in shock. Liam just smirked.
"Yes, I also, lie, cheat, count cards, and," he said in a whisper. "I sleep with the flower girls." He said, winked, and trotted ahead. Ria wasn't sure what to think.

She was falling fast, the universe spinning around her, she was lost. They were throwing her out, why she didn't know. She didn't understand. They weren't allowing her to stay. Something about an affair. Illigitimacy. They where trying to explain things with words she couldn't understand. Raya, the dragon glared at her as they marched her past. They forced her into a circle of candles.
"Saturn, you have been exiled. Never come back." He said. She had never seen this man before. Never come back? Where am I going? She thought wildly. "We will send you to Tortall." He said, Tortall? Wasn't that the country that had just been taken over? Why where they sending her there. Where was her father? Her mother was there. Staring coldly at the little girl surrounded by flames. Why is she angry with me? Saturn thought. The flames flashed white once and the world blurred.
She saw oceans and ships and people as she floated in a continuum of time. She dropped to the floor gasping. Then she realized she was on the top of a mountain.
She bolted awake, gasping for air. Liam wasn't the only one who suffered from nightmares.
I originally had another part after this, I'm not sure if I like the next part so I'm gonna think about it and re-write it and I shud be up in the next couple a days. And I get to see The Return of the King tonight! YES! More Orlando Bloom!!
Any who. I'm gonna stop babbleing now. Orlando…
Kind of a weird name don't you think, Orlando Bloom? Hehehe, random. I'm OUT OF SCHOOL! Two weeks of no French class! YES! I hate French class, it is the bane of my existence.
Also, a question, do u guys want a little romance here? Or no? Cause I can write it either way. Also, I want to add a Pippin (from LotR) like character to this for comic relief what do you think?
