Chapter four
Natera woke up one morning and got out of bed, she had little idea that a group of the Enemy had gotten by the city's defenses during the night and were closing in on Natera's home and village, killing everyone in there path.
Natera got dressed and walked down stairs for something to eat. A note was on the table
Dear Natera, I have gone out to gather some food and fire wood.
I will be back as soon as I can.
Zingro
She put down the letter and fixed some bacon and eggs for her breakfast.
She was eating happily when a badly wounded villager came in her door and cried out for help. Natera came running to his aid.
"What happened?" She asked looking at the mans wounds, they were bad; and he was not going to survive the night.
"The Enemy has broken out line, and are coming" he said then passed into a lasting sleep. Natera looked at him and bowed his head and took him outside were she tried to find a grave site for him, but there was no time.
She left him on a mound of green grass and ran back inside, grabbing a sword and two guns from the armory.
She went around the house and shut the windows making the house look deserted. Then she hid herself in the front yard and waited. Not long after, Zingro came out of the forest carrying nothing; he looked beat up and tired. Natera came out of her hiding spot (not a great on at that) and called to Zingro. He came running over and started telling her what happened. Natera shook her head knowing that everything would be ok in the end.
Zingro looked at her. "You might have to battle" He said looking at the sword that was attached to her belt, along with the two guns.
"I'm not worried" Natera said looking towards the forest. She had noticed that Zingro's clothes had been ripped and wanted to ask him about it, but she thought better of it and kept her mouth shut.
"I was attacked in the woods" Zingro said seeing that Natera had seen his wounds and ripped clothes. Natera nodded but kept looking at the woods.
Minutes went by and soon they heard scream of terror and death coming from the village that lay to the west of where they lay hidden.
Natera squirmed at the sounds. She decided she disliked that sound right then and there and swore to herself that she would do anything just so she would not hear these sounds again. Zingro watched her 'She is very strong for being so young' he thought in his mind 'She will be a great worrier when she gets older' he finished off before he heard a sound in the tree line. He pulled out a sword and a gun and got ready to attack. Natera watched him and shook with fear. She did not want to fight no matter what.
Zingro placed his cape over her "Stay here" he said "I know your scared, so just stay hidden" he said getting up and running to another hiding place. A shot zipped passed her head missing her by a hair, but it wasn't aimed at her it was aimed at Zingro. Zingro returned fire and went into a battle mode, taking quick glances around so he would not be sneaked up on. A few moments later a few of the enemy walked out, they were decoys, but Zingro shot them down so he would have no distractions. What he did not know is that a group came up from the village and was behind the house were Zingro could not see them, and were coming up behind him as he shot down the decoys. Soon Zingro was jumped on and trapped. He tried to fight back but failed and was hit on the back of his head so he would stop fighting.
Natera looked on and was terrified, but something else was taking over, it was love for her "brother" Zingro. She got up and fired blankly at the Enemy and 3 went down. The others of the brigade were surprised at Natera's appearance and did not even think to return fire. Natera looked at the bodies on the ground and felt more confident and shot down a few more of the Enemy. Zingro looked up at Natera; he was totally surprised as what she was doing. He watched jaw-dropped as she shot down almost the whole troop. She only stopped firing because she had run out of ammo 'Not good' she thought dropping the two guns and pulling out her sword, the few remaining enemies started to surround her whispering things into her mind 'This is what dad said, it makes people go insane' She looked at them her eyes filled with hate. Yet this hate turned to fear and she dropped her sword and fell to her knees holding her hands over her ears trying to block out what they were saying. The Enemy walked toward her and one of them grabbed her so she could not fight back. She struggled for a moment then just gave in 'So this is I die' she thought.
