Chapter 9
Written by ZL
We rode on till we reached a frozen lake. There, everybody stopped. Ragonet who was behind rode front.
"We can't cross this. It will break," she said staring far ahead.
There was a sudden thudding of drums.
"I don't think we even have a choice," I said sighing; getting down from my horse.
Arthur looked at all the other people then said, "Tell everyone to get out of their wagons and start walking. Spread out too."
We followed his orders. We all knew the Saxons were closing in, we have to move quickly.
Tristan suddenly stopped as the drums grew louder. There was a creek from the ice.
"I can't stand it anymore. Can we just fight?" I asked.
"Me neither. I think I'm going to die faster if I continue to run away," Melanie said stopping and taking off her sack from her horse.
Arthur looked at his men.
"I agree. I don't think I can stand the heat anymore," Gawain said.
"I always wanted to know what these creatures look like," Galahad said getting ready for a big fight.
"I can fight," Alecto said from behind.
"If you die, I must as well die with you," Raciel said coming from his side. "We have no freedom without you boy."
"No," Arthur said shaking his head. "It's too dangerous."
"But-," he tried to say but was cut off by me.
"Raciel's right, if you die, we must as well die. It's stupid this war, just more blood and death. Trust me, its better if you continue living what you're doing now," I said getting ready my knives for action.
Alecto stared at me.
"Don't worry boy, I'm helping them too," Guinevere said appearing.
"This man here is your captain, follow his instructions," Arthur said, his hand on one of the serf's shoulder-Ganis.
The others started walking as they did, the Saxons appear.
I sighed: more killing.
They were a large group, but I doubt they will ever beat us. We were a strong army despite so few.
"There is a large group of lonely man out there," Lancelot said to Guinevere.
"Oh? Don't worry, I won't let them rape you," she retorted smiling a bit while I sniggered.
A few of the Saxons were ordered to fire at us. None were at our reach.
"Borrs, Tristan, prepare to fire," Arthur said.
They fired their arrows and shot few of the Saxons.
"Misty, do the same with your knives and I'll buy you a drink when we get home," Ragonet said smiling.
I raised an eyebrow at her and took out three of my knives from my bag which I laid on the floor and threw it at the Saxons.
It hit three of the targets I was aiming for. As I did that, I saw the corner of my eyes that the men were impressed.
"They're coming," Faccacia whispered.
The Saxons began to march towards us.
"Aim on the outside, make sure you push them together," Arthur said.
The rest of them started firing arrows. Man after man began falling as they were pushed together.
I picked up my knives and threw at the nearest. They were all coming in quickly.
"Shit!" I cursed as the ice repeatedly did not break no matter how we push them together.
"The ice, it's not breaking, prepare for combat," Arthur said drawing out his swords.
Suddenly, Dagonet ran forward dropping his sword and drawing his axe.
"What the-," I said shocked by the sudden move but Borrs was already screaming at him.
"Cover him!" Someone shouted though I wasn't sure who.
The Saxons started firing more arrows while we try to block them off for Dagonet. Three arrows were about to land on him when suddenly; Melanie went forward and covered him with her body. The arrows pierced through her body.
"Melanie!" I screamed dropping my knives I was holding and running to her.
She staggered and fell to the ground. Another arrow was shot at her. I grabbed her.
"Run!" I shouted to Dagonet who was socked at the sudden outburst from my captain. He came to his senses and started running. Borrs ran forward and shield us as we began to retreat.
The weight Melanie laid on me was immense. Raciel helped me out once we got near to her.
We carried her out of the danger zone when I saw while I was running the Saxons falling into the icy cold water and struggling helplessly.
We reached the ground and though we knew we were safe, we kept on running; the rest who were covering us were behind.
When we were sure we were safe, and far out of reached, I stopped running and lay my captain on the floor. I found I was tired and that tears were streaming down from my eyes. Raciel's too.
Ragonet who was behind as well caught up and looked at Melanie then at both of us. When she looked at us, she understood.
Our captain was dead. The four arrows which struck her killed her off.
ZL's note- I think I'm really depressed right now. Did you expect it? Review please. Thanks!
