Chapter 8 True Feelings Shine In The Moonlight
We walked in silence. For the longest time no one said anything. They had seen who I really was. It would be best I left later that night. When we got back Mary asked what happened. I told her about the thieves. I didn't tell her about their fates. She smiled warmly and said she was glad no one got hurt. I didn't eat supper that night. Neither did Crystal or Kyle. Sue kept asking what happened. I was faking asleep and she didn't want to ask Crystal, so she kept bugging Kyle. He wouldn't say anything. He said he didn't want to think about what happened.
It was quiet that night. Mary was off in the kitchen, and everyone else was in their rooms from what I could tell. I decided that now would be best. I grabbed my sword and walked to the front door. I slipped out quietly and started to walk away from that cozy little home. I stopped to look at the moon for a moment and thought about how they reminded me of my family. I closed my eyes and thought about my mother and father as a tear ran down my cheek.
"It's pretty out tonight, huh?" I wiped my eyes, not turning around. I knew who it was. She walked up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist gently, hugging me. I just stood there. I didn't know what to do. She saw me kill those thieves. She saw my sword caked in their blood. She must have seen me take their lives, their futures.
"Crystal..." That was all I could manage to say at this moment. I was lost for words. But she wasn't apparently.
"I know... I saw everything... But I don't care... You're so much like him, you can't leave now... I have to know who you are..." I took her hands and pulled them off me, turning around to face her. She was crying. I knew what she was feeling now. I could see it plain as day. I hugged her tightly, trying to calm her down. She cried harder and hugged back.
"It's not safe here. If I stay I'll only put this town in danger, I'll put you in danger... I can't do that." I pulled back, looking deep into her eyes. She looked back, confused. Suddenly I heard hoof beats in the distance. Horses. Crystal heard them too, cause she was looking around a little. But I didn't have to look around. I knew who it was. It was him...
"Vincent... You bastard..." I muttered.
"What?" Crystal asked. I could tell she was nervous.
"Get inside! Get everyone up and get them to safety!" I barked loudly. She started to protest, but she was interrupted by flaming arrows landing all around. Houses caught fire slowly as more and more arrows came down. I turned around and saw two horse-men riding my way. I drew my sword and jumped in the air slicing at the horse-man. I landed on the ground as his head rolled away. The second horse-man brought up his rifle. I jumped to the side as he fired. I hit the horse hard in the side with the hilt of my sword and it reared back, kicking at the air. The horse-man fell off, landing hard. I held my sword high in the air and screamed in Crystal's direction.
"GO NOW!!!" She nodded and ran inside as I pierced the chest of the man before me. I looked up for anyone else. I heard a lot of screaming deeper in town. I ran hard, hoping I'd find Vincent. I wasn't about to let him destroy another town. I'd make him pay, even if it cost my life.
