Chapter two: Who is Nadeshiko?
'-'
Nadeshiko wiped her eyes and walked outside. The earth was still and there didn't seem to be any life forms.
Where is everyone? There is not a single life or soul out here. Did I scare them off? She asked herself. Of all people, why did I have to kill Zairu? He did no harm to anyone. He was my only friend, other than Kisa. Why can I not be better at what I do? She looked at the ground and broke down into tears again. "I hate it all!!" she screamed into the silence of the noon. She hit the ground with all of her anger and buried her face into her knees.

"So you say you can get rid of her?" the man asked the man with the snake. It was a large snake that was a mixture of green and brown. The snake sat coiled up in the middle of the forest. Next to him was a man in odd attire. He wore a light coat the same color as the snake and black pants. He had jet black hair that hung in front of his face and brown eyes. He wore thin, rectangular glass like things in front of his eyes and black shoes. He looked about twenty-five.
"I can get rid of her. I can guarantee it" the man said slyly.
"But we do not want you to her hurt," another man confirmed.
"No problem," the man grinned.
"Thank you" the man bowed. "What did you say your name was?"
"My name is Hebi."

Nadeshiko finally looked up to see the village men coming from out of the forest.
"What theā¦" She looked closer at the men to see they weren't themselves. Perhaps they were drinking? she thought. She slowly walked forward to notice they were giving off bad vibes. She slowly took a step backwards as the neared the village. She turned and started walking to her hut when the men had entered the settlement and started following her path. Stay calm, she told herself. She slowly reached for her bow or something that could protect her.
"Stop," one of the men had ordered. She did stop at the random order.
"Excuse me?" she asked.
"I said stop!" one of the men suddenly struck her with his spear. Nadeshiko fell in the dirt. She tried to get up, but the man hit her on the back with his elbow. The men started gaining up on her. She stumbled back, looking for any kind of reinforcement. One man had gotten in back of her, trapping her. The men started randomly striking her with all of their strength. She curled into a ball, trying to protect her head. But it was no use. They beat her for what was an hour or so until she couldn't move. They separated from the circle and stared down at her. She was breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath. She was wheezing terribly, blood coming from every inch of her. One of the men had taken a stick and placed it in one of the candles near by. She didn't see that, still trying to stay alive. Her vision was blurred and she didn't see the man come up from out of her view. He crouched down and gently placed the small flame on the left side of her face. She let out a bloodcurdling scream as the flame had engulfed the entire left side of her face. A few minutes of screaming and she stopped. She stopped moving and the men fell unconscious.
Perfect, Hebi thought to himself in the woods, peering out to toe settlement. This plan has absolutely no flaws. What could possibly go wrong? (o-O)
'-'
Poor, stupid Hebi. If you would like to know what went wrong, read my story 'The Secret That Should Have Been Kept.' This is for all of the Danny Phantom fans out there. If there is any. This was one of my shortest chapters, but I actually explained something. Signing Off!!!
