Chapter 5
A Life for a Life
Xiao whimpered as she awoke. Her head hurt. She opened her eyes, and looked around. She was chained up to a pole. Sun Mei was chained up next to her, crying loudly. What was going on? The last thing Xiao remembered was walking in the garden. She looked up and saw Da on her knees. Crying, yelling, and begging to a man to stop.
"Ling Li?" Xiao said confused.
She finally remembered. She was walking back to the palace when Ling Li came out of no where and whacked her on the head, knocking her out. Her niece and sister must have come to see what happened, and gotten captured as well.
Ling Li was staring down angrily at Da. She was tugging on his shirt, trying to get the baby. Ling Li kicked her in the face, making her fall to the ground. Da struggled to sit up. She whipped blood off her lips.
"Mama!" Mei screamed.
"Please Ling Li, I beg you, stop hurting her!"
"Stop hurting her? I will do more then hurt her, I'LL KILL HER!"
"Your father forgave Xing Ba. Why can't you?"
"My father has been tricked, fooled by that pirate."
"Killing Ning's daughter won't bring your grandfather back!"
"Perhaps...but it will please me to know that Gan Ning will suffer as much as my father and I have." he smirked.
He looked down at the baby with an evil smile. Her cheeks where sore and red from countless slaps, on the left side of her neck were trickles of blood. Ling Li had tried to cut off her head, but Da had interrupted him. Sing was screaming at the top of her lungs, her eyes forcing tears out.
"Awwwwwww poor baby. Let me-" he took out his sword and threw Sing into the air. "END YOUR SUFFERING!"
The moment Sing was tossed up, the three generals broke through the window. Ning tackled Ling Li down to the floor, and Zhou Yu caught Sing and spun, making the sword cut him instead of the baby. Sun Ce helped Da up, and broke the chains that held Xiao and Mei.
Mei hugged her father, and cried on his shirt. He made sure she couldn't see the bloody beating that Ling Li was taking. Xiao and Da came to Zhou Yu's side. Da looked at his arms worriedly. Xiao tore her sleeve and pressed the cloth on the wound, on Yu's back. Yu flinched in pain.
"Ning let him go! We'll deal with him later." Sun Ce ordered.
Ning punched Ling Li once more before he stood. Li was bruised, and had large wounds on his body. Ning ran over to Zhou Yu.
"Is she ok?" Ning asked, panicky in his voice.
Zhou Yu didn't need to answer. Ning could see that Sing wasn't moving, her eyes where closed, and she was pale. Gan Ning took Sing with shaky hands. He embraced Sing as he put his head to hers. Tears rolled down his face, and fell on the babies cheeks.
"Singsing?...please wake up...open your eyes...Sing...please...wake up..."
