Hidden Feelings
Shinara's P.O.V.
I couldn't just sit there and think, I had to keep traveling since he decided to take a little trip around the land and we went out farther than we planned, it wouldn't be good to just sit here. I hate traveling in the night, especially when it is not more than two people.
"Shinara, its getting a little dark and we aren't that close to home. Why don't we just make camp here?" Dali suggested.
"Lets keep walking for a little while. That way we don't have to walk far tomorrow and will get there faster."
"But its kind of dangerous to be traveling at night with only us two. Lets make camp." "No Dali let's keep walking, okay?"
"Whatever." he replied.
So we continued to walk and I heard a shuffling noise. Almost like something was trying to hide in the bushes.
"Dali, did you hear that?" I asked.
"Yeah, I was hoping you didn't. What do you think it was?"
"I don't know I . . . " I never got a chance to finish that sentence because these bandits jumped out of the bushes and ambushed us.
"Dali! Help! I...I can't fend them off its too many of them!" I yelled helplessly. I fought as hard as I could. Killing at least three of them and knocking out two.
I glanced over at Dali and he had two on him but it seemed as if I had at least five or six on me. I looked at the sky and saw the starlit sky bright as I ever did. There was one thing that caught my eye and that was the moon. It was kind of strange, the moon looked as if it was slowly being dipped in blood. The red color was just slowly covering the face of the moon and it kind of caught me off guard. But that was the last thing I saw because someone clubbed me in the side of head with something and all I saw was the moon, then the trees, then the ground . . . then nothing.
Hannan's P.O.V.
It seemed as if it was taking longer for Shinara to come back than usual. Minia and I had been back for a while and Meru said they only went for a walk around. When I went to Miyu and told her I was getting worried about them she said they probably went farther than they planned on going. It was a good, I don't know if you would say excuse, but whatever it was it just wasn't good enough for me.
About fifteen minutes later I got this real bad feeling. It was almost like the feeling I got about eight years ago. That terrible day that I had nightmares of for years. I knew something happened to Shinara. I grabbed my sword and my satchel which contained plenty of potions and other things I may need. I yelled and told Miyu I would be back but don't worry about me.
I ran for about five minutes until I saw a man running toward me looking as if he just got ambushed. He reminded me of Dali, but his clothing was tattered, and he was bloody and had nothing with him.
As he got closer I realized it was Dali. I ran even faster. The first thing that crossed my mind was why isn't Shinara with him. Where is she?
"Dali! What happened? Where is Shin? Were you ambushed?" I asked him.
"Hannan! Oh my god! We . . . we were ambushed . . . Shinara . . . Shinara she was . . . Hannan she hurt. She isn't far back. I ran off to get help. They took all of our stuff. She is in a cave. I hid her so the vultures wouldn't take her for dead. She's unconscious." Dali finally said after he caught his breath.
"Thanks." I said as I ran off. I looked frantically for any sign of a cave. As I ran I prayed for her to be okay.
I must have been running for around three minutes, glad that Dali told me she wasn't far or it might have taken me even longer. Finally I caught sight of a cave. Please let her be in here and be alive, I prayed, I won't know what to do if I lose her. I looked around in the dark cave trying to find her. Finally I saw her. I felt a wave a relief followed by a wave of dread after I saw her condition. She was bloody all over, she had big purple and black bruises, a gigantic bruise that was on the side of her head which was also bleeding.
"Oh poor thing. I am so sorry for going along with Minia. I should have stayed behind or left earlier. Why you? Why not me?" I cried as I held her and rocked her.
"Please don't leave me so soon. Let me get to know you better. Please don't leave like this."
"Hannan." she whispered as if it pained her to make the slightest noise. She grimaced as she spoke my name but it sounded as if it was filled with love.
"Yes Shin, I'm here. Don't speak." I begged her.
"I'm so . . . glad you're here . . . I knew you would come." she said as her head rolled to the side. I pressed my fingers to the side of her neck and felt a faint pulse throbbing through her veins. I gently picked her up and walked out of the cave and into the sunlight.
Kinda short huh? Sorry for the delay. Been catching up on school work and had a busy week this week. I'm going to try and write two more chapters tonight. And as usual please R&R.
