Chapter Three: The Indian

'Dame!' She thought but as she had fallen to the ground people jumped out of behind trees and bordered us with their bodies.

"Flashback"

A man was yelling "Thief, Thief! She stole my money! THIEF!"

She was running as she thought 'Oh, no." for she had not planned to get caught and because she was encircled by guards. They plucked the stolen pouch from her side.

"You're under arrest. Any thing you say can and will be used against you." One of them announced as if it was law.

I screamed, kicking a guard that had grabbed her between the legs. At this he bent down loosing the grip he had on her.

"Get her!" The same man yelled.

She turned and grabbed the guard's sword and swung it. To her grief she had just sliced the head off of an innocent officer. 'Now I'm really in for it.' She thought for killing a guard is a sentence of a beheading.

She stood there frozen in shock as the guards came behind her and hit her on the top of her head with the hilt of the sword and every thing went black.

"Flashback Ends"

Iven had come over to her to guard and protect her from harm, even if it meant his life. He tipped over a rock and tumbled over almost landing on Aleeca.

He tried to get up but as he did his hand accidentally touched her hand. This startled her as she woke out of her memory dream state. These people were surrounding us.

When they stopped their wasn't a single gap until the same man that had been there on the say she killed that man.

He called out "You thought you could escape, but no one escapes from Macalare. (Mac-call-are) Ha, ha, ha, ha. Hit the girl over the head but kill the boy."

Aleeca stared in horror, as the two guards were closing in on us when an army of arrows came flying out of the woods hitting and killing over half of the men that were there.

'Things just had to get worse' Aleeca thought miserably. Then every thing went black.

When Aleeca woke it was dark and humid. She saw that she was in a tent that reeked of human sweat.

As she took in a breathe she started to cough. Someone came in to see what had made the noise.

He looked at her and yelled to someone behind him "She's awake!"

Aleeca struggled to get up, but she found that she was too weak for some reason. A moment later someone tall entered the tent.

"Hello." He said neutrally.

Aleeca was confused by this thinking 'is that all he is going to say?'

Without realizing it the guy moved to her side.

"Why have you come into these woods?"

"I-I-I don't know."

"How can you not know?"

"Well I'm supposed to be taken somewhere by Iven but he never told me where."

"Hmm"

"What-What's wrong?"

"Who did you say you were with?"

"Iven." Aleeca answered curiously when a question popped in her head.

"Why did you and your people save me? Us? Or is it us?"

"Hmm. Interesting." He said this as he got up and walked to the tent flap, ignoring her quick questions.

"Where're you going?"

"Get some sleep your going to need it for tomorrow. Hold your questions till then."

Suddenly Aleeca wakes again.
