~ Dark Takeover: Chapter 2 ~
'Wounds within my soul
Echoing in my heart
Fading Fading
The world is a crimson red
Like the blood from these wounds
The shadow following my footsteps
The eternal enigma before me
Blinded by the voices that surround me
I feel the cold Dark Takeover'
Aklyis repeated her poem in her head over and over and over again. Anything to distract her from the pain that shot up her arm, and the disgusting voices of the soldiers that had dragged them to this unknown location. She didn't know why the bothered questioning her, or her sister. They should have figured out by now that they wouldn't get any answers about anything. Wait, they were to stupid. What did it matter? They weren't chasing Aklyis and her sister Miya for a five-minute questioning period. They were going to kill them, murder them, just as they murdered their parents.
"Sir, they are not responding," one of the soldiers muttered in annoyance to what seemed to be a higher ranked officer.
"I can seen that fool," came the reply. Meanwhile, Aklyis listened intently to the jabbering soldiers.
'What pigs. They can't even treat their own kind with any kind of respect.'
"What should we do with them sir?" the soldier from earlier asked seeming not offended by the rude comments from his leader.
"Well, they won't talk," the leader's gruff voice started, "so just get rid of em'! That's the reason we've been chasing these dumb bitches for the last decade anyways I'm sure Lord Zoran won't mind. Besides, the man never specified what to do with them once we were finished asking questions."
"But sir, won't Lord Zoran be angry that we failed to collect the information he wanted?"
The leader seemed to freeze in his tracks and lose himself deep in thought at this statement.
"Unfortunately you're right. The Lord would have me tortured and brutally killed for not completing my mission. However, I always have a solution," He paused for a few minutes that began to speak again, "Bring me the black haired one!"
Moments later two soldiers appeared dragging in with them Miya.
"Miya..." Akliys managed to choke out as the soldiers ruthlessly dragged Miya's almost lifeless body across the floor.
"You handle your own pain quite well, little girl, but now let us see how you handle the pain of those closest to you."
"No." But before Aklyis could finish her protest she was cut off by the cry of her sister. A soldier slashed the black haired girl's right arm allowing blood to flow freely. Taking a bag of salt he had brought in with him, and pouring it on the open wound as Miya let out another wail but bit her lip to silence herself. She would not give into the pain. Not now, not ever. Although in the past few moments Aklyis had already contemplated numerous times whether or not to tell the soldiers what they wanted to know. She kept hoping that is she told them, they would set her and Miya free, so they could finally get on with their lives. Quickly shaking her head, Aklyis chased the thought away. There was no chance that would ever happen. She also knew her sister would never forgive her for giving away their family's greatest secrets.
"So, little girl, will you answer us?" the leader asked with a smug expression upon his face.
"When pigs like you learn how to fly up to heaven," was the bitter reply he received.
The man's current expression faded quickly as he swiftly backhanded the young brunette across the face. Aklyis' head snapped to the right from the contact of the blow. Slowly turning her head back, she spat blood out at the man's polished boots. This completely outraging him, he drew his sword his above his head in a mad attempt to slice Aklyis in half for her disrespect.
"How DARE you?!" he screamed raising the sword over his head.
Aklyis' eyes instantly narrowed as her survival skills kicked in. In one quick motion she kicked the man in the groin with her free legs, causing him to release his grip on his weapon and double over in pain. Aklyis meanwhile had held out her bound hands as the sword came down cutting through the firmly tied ropes. Now having her hands free, Aklyis immediately turned to the table where her katana lay. Grabbing it she turned around, unsheathing it at the same time, cutting through one of the attacking soldier's armor and delicate human flesh. Easily taking out the rest of the soldiers in the room, Aklyis grabbed the pleading leader and tied him to the wall of the confinement. Miya grabbing her arrows and bow followed her sister out of the room.
"How do we get outta here??" Miya nearly chirped evidently happy she was still breathing.
"The window." Aklyis answered almost instantaneously.
"YOU MUST BE JOKING!!! THERE IS NO WAY I AM- H-HEY WHAT DO YOU TINK YOU'RE DOING?!? LEMEE GO!!!! AAAHHHHH!!! However the dark haired girl's protests accomplished nothing as she was roughly grabbed by her sister and forcefully led out the window. Luckily it wasn't that far down until they reached the ground. The girls landed uncomfortable, but quickly regaining composure, fled into the nearby forest, not knowing where they were or where they were going.
"Aklyis..please...stop...I..can't...breath..anymore.."
Aklyis was too afraid to stop though. She had to keep running. She didn't want to make that same mistake again.
"It's ok...they'll never find us here." Miya's voice filled the air bringing Aklyis back to reality as she finally began to slow down and came to a halt.
"Her, let's rest here, ok Aki? We've been running long enough."
Hesitating at first, Aklyis realized she too was gasping and wheezing for air and exhausted from the ordeal from earlier.
"Alright," she finally gave in.
"Thank you Lord!" Miya joked sarcastically trying to bring a snile back to her sister's face. The two girls settled beside a large tree in the unknown territory. Little did the know, a pair of two blood red eyes was watching them.
