Warlord 11
Lady Kathryn and Richard saw the sky fading over the darkening trees. It was quiet in the woods so they knew they would have to turn back shortly. Richard grabbed Katie's hand and motioned her back towards the house. With no sign of the kidnapper or any trace of where they had gone they felt beaten. Katie removed herself from Richards grasp feeling she was brave enough to walk alone. They had traveled far over this day and it would be quite dark before they made it back to the Richard's home. When traveling for what seemed like an hour the moon was there only light. With in this dark forest the creatures and sounds were uninviting.
"We ares goin to have to camp heres for the night Ms. Katie" Implied Richard.
"We can't camp out here in these deserted woods what if the kidnapper is still out here," Said Katie, holding her self from the dropping temperature, "We will have to continue forward"
"Sorrys Ms, Katie I knows you think you knows whats best, but I's have camped out in these woods here many times before." Richard Said.
Katie could clearly see that this was not going in her favor so she sided with Richard and they began to gather up twigs and large branches. Katie had never slept out in the woods before, she was not aloud to leave her home growing up never got to know the wonders of the outside world. Katie knew her gift was special but the people of the town would not understand here as her family did. Katie's time with these people meant a lot to her and the friends she made would be cherished.
Richard finished building a small shack to which they could sleep in. Katie had started a fire from the few twigs Richard was able to gather. They sat on the ground across from one another with the fire in the middle. Richard removed his shirt and offered it to Katie but she denied it, feeling as to be a strong woman who didn't need his help. It was silent in the forest after the fire started, Richard and Katie were just listening in to the nights air slowly past by. Above them were mighty strong trees that were hailing the full moon that lit the sky. In all the commotion and hustle of looking for Danielle there was no time to stop and admire such the scenery all around them. The occasional cricket would pass by shuffling its leg in greeting but soon disappear as if never there. Richard was staring at Katie with his eyes so warm that only the moon could tear them away. Katie would once in awhile stare back at him just to turn her head quickly away.
Richard moved closer to Katie to keep her warm, her body was riddled with shiver and her teeth's chattering was almost an annoying song. Richard held his arms around Katie, and if this was any other occasion she would of swatted him away. The warmth from Richard's body was just warm enough to where Katie leaned into the ark of his arm. The fire was still ablaze long into the night keeping the insects away. The sight of the fire dancing was almost enticing enough to join in. Far to soon when the fire began to way Richard took his liberty and kissed Katie upon the cheek. Her soft skin and his rough lips were no mach and Katie took her liberty and slapped him across the face. In this one instance Katie got up and walked into her nicely built shack and went to sleep. Richard lay there on the ground wondering what had happened.
In the morning Katie found Richard lying next to her in the shanty with him wearing nothing but his underclothes and his outer clothes upon her. She felt grateful but in the same sense disgusted he was lying next to her. She threw his clothes on top of him and she walked out of the shack. It was time to start off upon their decent back to the house. It was still a bit dark out and the moon hadn't fully left the sky but it was good to get a head start. Katie removed a branch from the shack and it feel upon Richard, who still didn't wake. All of sudden Katie hit the ground air struck staring up at the sky. Her mind was racing, and she could feel ever beat of her heart. A vision flowed through her mind, pictures brief but understandable. She felt as if she was there or maybe she wasn't. As quick as the vision arrived it left. Katie breathed deeply and heavily. Her visions in the past were never that intense and never that powerful. With Katie begging to breathe normally a sound from behind startled her she thought it was Richard but to her surprise it wasn't. A man standing, there were a long black hat and a dark coat down to his knees was towering over her. Katie recognized the man from her vision and she began to scream. Richard awoke with no idea of what was going on. Katie was still on the ground and the man of sever height was just watching her back away. Richard, who was now wearing his clothes, leapt at the man just to be swatted towards a nearby tree. Katie fought to stand up with all the terror that this man could do. In her vision she saw this man take down the strongest of men and most powerful of women. She ran leaving Richard, from what she could tell had a broken arm. She knew who this man was and she knew what this man was going to do to her.
She hid behind a tree hoping that this would stop this man wouldn't find her. She recalled her vision and remembered that this man was unnervingly strong like he wasn't human. She also remembered that she alone was not strong enough to defeat him. This man was the one who took Danielle and from what she could see in her vision he had Maria too. Katie ran hoping the scenes from her vision wouldn't come true. Though Richard was brave and courageous for her she was no good to him kidnapped. She kept straight towards the house hoping she would find one of her friends who stayed the night in the forest too. When she came upon a clearing in the forest she remembered the house was just beyond that second patch of trees. She made a run, not being hidden by the trees. The sun was rising fast and her dress made her quite noticeable out in the clearing. She screamed when she turned to find that the man was steadily approaching her. She couldn't beat him so the only thing to do was run. She ran faster and faster, for every four steps of hers were two of his. He grabbed her and pulled her from the ground. With a tree nearby Katie ran her feet up the tree and over the mans head onto the ground behind him. Katie who had been reading up on battle from her family's vast selection of books was quite prepared for a battle, just not with a towering giant. She ducked into the forest and from the other side she could see the house up the road. From the corner of her eye she saw the man basing through trees to grab her. Screaming for help she noticed Twanria and Justin begging to enter the house. Twanria stopped and saw Katie running from the trees.
Justin and Twanria along with Erin were now running towards Katie and the man who was following steady behind her. Erin removed her sword from its sheath and held it up to the man. Katie hiding behind Justin, finally had a chance to catch her breath. With a motion oh her sword the man began to walk forward challenging Erin. From her vision Katie remembered how the fight scene went and it didn't look good for Erin. Darrell walked out of the house holding the baby. He made sure he stayed far enough of way from the action, for the child's safety. Erin pushed her sword towards the mans face.
"Where have you taken Danielle," Forced Erin with her sword still raised, "Tell me now or ill cut you a bigger smile."
"I am taken only those that my master commands," said The man.
"Who are you and why are you taking my friends," implied Erin.
"My name is Samuel," Said the man, "I am suppose to take the psychic over there."
"You are not taking anymore of my friends you hear me," said Erin.
With all of that said the Samuel removed his coat to reveal a silver suit of armor. The armor was reflecting the sun upon all their faces. He removed his hat to show his clean white face and glowing red hair. Then with a blink of an eye he removed his sword that dwarfed Erin's by many a length and thickness. He charged from Erin and with one blow from his sword hers was shattered. She grabbed from her boots two small daggers. She charged for Samuel and tried to pierce his armor with her daggers but they too were shattered on the brilliance of his armor. Katie remembered how the rest of the battle went and Erin was in for the pain of her life. Samuel took the side of his sword and smashed it against Erin's face making her twists to the ground. Then, he motioned his foot and kicked her back making her scream with immense pain. Then before any more damage could be done, Twanria ran back for the house, returning with what seemed to be a large bow. Justin jumped towards Samuel, feet forward and pushed him away from Erin doing a back flip off Samuel miraculously invincible armor. Samuel stumbled back a ways and with one shot of Twanria's arrow she caught the man under the arm where only little fibers of metal stay to keep the armor together. Samuel yelled in pain but instead of retreating he charged for Katie who was now open for any attack. Twanria shot another arrow this time under the other arm. Samuel motioned towards Katie. Katie being a psychic she could focus her energy into little psychic balls that formed to push away small objects. Katie threw her hands forward and with a lot of concentration created a big psychic ball of energy that pushed Samuel backwards a few feet.
Katie's psychic energy had been building her whole life. Her father and family only thought she could see into the future but unbeknown to anyone she was a powerful psychic. With the reading and training she was forced to do her whole life it just made her skill's powerful and her power stronger.
Samuel didn't stop there, he charged for Katie again, who used her psychic power balls to thrust him back again. Katie was indeed powerful but she couldn't keep this up all day. During her battle with Samuel she recalled something. His armor was powerful but his exposed skin was truly vunerable. With this new information she threw her psycic energy towards Samuels head. He fell backwards onto the ground and before he could reopen his eyes Justin, Twanria and Katie were standing over him. Katie didn't want her friends to know she was a psychic but that information was already leaked out from Samuel. She took her hands to Samuels's head and tried to get a read from his mind but her powers were not yet strong enough for her to be a telepath. Darrell who had put the baby back down in its crib carried Erin who was now lying unconscious on the ground back inside. Samuel was going to give answers but they didn't know how to make him talk. Twanria took an arrow and pointed towards Samuels's head. But he wouldn't talk. They had to let him go. Samuel ran into the forest back to his hideout. Justin was confused of why they let him go before they could get all the answers they needed.
"Were going to follow him back to his hideout," said Katie, "I learned from my vision that Samuel is not the smartest person and the only reason he is strong is because of his armor."
"How come you didn't tell us you were a psychic," said Twanria, "I thought we were all friends here."
"Just because were her friends didn't mean we needed to know she was a psychic" said Justin.
Katie confused of why Justin stuck up for her, "I did want to tell all of you but it never came about. By the way Richard was left in the forest he tried to fight Samuel and I think he is hurt pretty badly."
Twanria and Justin set out into the forest where Katie had pointed. Richard was found lying lifeless on the ground. Justin checked for a pulse just to find a very weak one. Justin carried Richard on his back and him and Twanria headed back for the house. Samuel was slow and he left tracks all over the place in the forest. They were going to wait for the next morning before they set out. Darrell was intrigued at all the ability his friends had. He had many questions for Katie but she was tired from the adventure she had to endure. Erin explained what had happed to the house and what she thought happened. Katie was quick to explain what her vision held and with that Justin's anger rose. Danielle was safe for now but it didn't seem like who ever was taking all of them was not one to be dealt with lightly.
Maria awoke next to Richards Mother and Danielle. Maria's head was still pulsating for what had happed the night before. The room they were kept in was dark and bars were on their only window. It was if they were in a jail. They could here the soft sounds of voices outside their window. Across the room from them was another girl. Her hair was brown but with light touches of red. She was rapped so tightly that it would seem impossible for her to breathe.
"Excuse me do you know where we are?" asked Maria.
"We are being held by Posey clan in some sort of dungeon." Replied the girl.
"By the way my name is Maria"
"My name is Racheal"
"My name is Danielle" Said Danielle.
"My name is (I really don't know the name of Richards mom or if he has one so if someone could please meail that to me thaks" said (whaterver)
Maria was falling in and out of sleep because her head was still hurting. The bleeding had finally stopped and she thought it best for her to stay awake. Danielle was steady thinking about Justin. She wondered if he was even thinking about her or if he cared. Most of all she hoped he would stay truthful to her. (whatever) stayed thinking about her children her baby boy was safely hidden in her bedroom but her baby girl was taken by Samuel.
Maria couldn't keep herself awake and with one soft word she fell asleep. She was so tired and she couldn't hold back the pain. Danielle felt bad for Maria and felt even worse for Katie. Danielle herd earlier that the next target was Katie and she hoped she would be allright. With a creak of the door Samuel walked in still beaten from his battle with the others. He walked over to Richards mother and took her away. Danielle screamed but to no avail. All she kept wondering was if Justin was thinking of her.
