Sorry for the long update my computer hasn't been working too well. And to tell the truth; I don't really know how to start the beginning of this story. And since I didn't know how to start the story it took me a while to come up with ideas, and when I did I didn't like them,so then I had to start over. So yeah read on.
Matt's POV
I looked up into the darkening sky. It would be dark soon. I then heard Justin's voice fill the air. "I know it'll be nightfall soon, but we have to keep going. We ride through the night." I looked at everyone and none of them looked tired. I sighed. Every once in awhile I would find someone looking at me. I'm sure they had a lot of questions running threw their minds about me. I could see it on their faces. I'm sure they didn't trust me completely. Adrian was most suspicious. I found it very annoying that every 5 minutes someone would be staring.
I knew Robby was very unsure about me, especially that I was ridding with his little sister. But I could understand that, just being protective of his sister.
We heard Justin's voice again. "We really need to be on guard. It will be harder to spot any danger in the dark."
Then Jerad's voice could be heard. "It should only be a few more hours until we get out of this forest. We'll then be in the west meadows."
Soon enough it was nightfall. It was real hard to see what was right in front of me. The only 2 lights were the moon and the light it's self. Just enough to see Mimi and the next person in front of me.
I looked around me thinking I heard something. But only thinking it was the wind I ignored it. It was about 11:30 I sighed trying to keep myself from falling asleep. I felt some weight fall into me. I looked down and saw Mimi sleeping soundly. I guess she couldn't stay awake any longer. I gave a tiny smile and looked ahead.
I know I just met her and all but something about her made me feel away I've never felt before.
Sora then rode to my side and looked at Mimi then at me. "Just so you know she can be a handful sometimes."
"Yeah." I answered remembering earlier with the whole thing trying to keep her quiet.
"So anyway, tell me about yourself."
"What about?" I asked.
"Anything."
"Well. I'm from Red Fountain." I said.
"Red Fountain? But I thought you said you were from Blue Fountain." She said confused.
"That's what I meant. Blue Fountain." I said nervously. I saw her eye me suspiciously, but she just shrugged it off. I mental smacked myself for almost blowing my cover."
"Anyway. I'm the best swordsmen in my city."
"Really, how so." She asked.
"I just am, I won every contest and was proclaimed the best."
"Interesting. So you will be use to us after all." She smiled.
I frowned slightly and looked back ahead. I felt Mimi sifting. She woke up and looked around us then to me. "Decided to wake up you only slept for about 7 minutes." I said.
"Please. I just met you. Leave me alone. I know nothing about you." She snapped.
"Maybe that's just it." I said. She rolled her eyes.
I don't know how long we rode on, but it seemed like forever before we got out of that forest. We then came across the west meadows just like Jerad said. Just wide land that looked like it would go on forever, with a few trees here and there, and a lot of boulders, the sun just barely peaking over the horizon. We rode on for another hour in silence. We then saw an old abandoned house.
"Do we go in?" Asked Jerad.
"Yes. But just for 15 minutes." Replied Justin to just Jerad. Justin then called to the rest to the group that they would rest up.
"Finally some space!" cried Mimi as she jumped down from her horse and me. She ran into the house with Robby following her telling her to wait. Sora got off her horse and ran to catch up with them. The others got off also and went inside. Thehouse was real old from the looks of all the dust covering everything. Part of the roof was caved in, everything was scattered all over the floor with dust and spider webs burying it. Part of the stairs was gone, and the windows were broken.
Each one of them started to go up the stairs. 5 of the stairs were missing. Justin jumped over them, then Adrian, Jerad, Robby, Sora, Mimi, then last me. Mimi stepped on a stair, causing it to fall from all the others walking on it. Mimi's hands went up trying to catch herself from falling on the hard ground. I quickly grabbed her hand breaking her fall. She looked up at me with scared eyes and grabbed my hand with her other hand. I grabbed her with my other hand and pulled her up slowly. The others were already up there so they didn't see what happened.
"looks like I saved you again." I smiled.
"Yeah thanks… again." She said and continued but more carefully.
I shook my head and smiled. When we got up there, nothing was up there, but4 empty rooms.
"Well nothings here. We're going to go out. We'll be back in 15 minutes." Told Justin.
"Who's all going?" asked Sora.
"Jerad, Adrian, and Matt if he wants to." Justin said.
I nodded my head. We then heard a crash. We turned around to see Robby on the floor. I laughed a little. I saw him glare at me then everyone else that was laughing. He quickly stood up and dusted himself off.
"What so funny all I did was sit in a chair." He said.
"That broke…" asked Mimi.
"Whatever I want to go to! If I can't sit anywhere I want to go then." Told Robby.
"But if all the guys go who's going to watch the girls." Asked Justin.
Mimi and Sora rolled their eyes.
"Justin I think we can take care of ourselves." Told Sora.
"Yeah besides Robby never gets to do anything fun." Told Mimi.
"Fine. Robby you can go too. But you better listen to me." Told Justin sternly.
"Yeah. Yeah." Sighed Robby.
"Alright. We'll be back soon." Justin said.
"Be careful. Be wont be gone long, we'll be real close." Told Robby to Mimi.
"Don't worry we'll be alright." Mimi sighed.
Everyone went back down stairs with the girls following. The guys walked out, got on thier horses and rode out a little ways.
"So what do we do now?" asked Mimi.
"I don't know. Just wait." Suggested Sora.
"Sounds like fun." Mimi said sarcastically.
Sora gave a faint smile.
"So what are we exactly looking for?" I asked Justin.
"Any signs of Aslan's army." He replied.
I looked behind me thinking I heard something running by, but I didn't see anything. I was about to turn my head around but a path of horse prints leading to the abandon house caught my eye. But I decided that they just came from us. I looked back at them again and noticed that they didn't even start where we were. That was bad.
"Guys I think we have trouble!"
"So what do you think of Matt?" asked Sora.
"Well I don't know. I just met him so I won't judge too much. I think he's…" Mimi stopped her sentence and looked towards the door.
"What is it Mimi?"
"I heard some horses running." Mimi replied.
She started to walk over to the shattered window. Before she could even get there, they both heard a horrifying screech. Sora gasped and looked alarmed. Mimi looked at Sora with scared eyes. Mimi walked all the way to the window and peeped out. She gasped at what she saw. Sora walked over to Mimi and looked out also, and gasped. She grabbed Mimi's wrist and pulled her up the stairs. Sora let go of Mimi's hand just to jump over the missing stairs. She turned around and reached her hands out to Mimi.
"Come on Mimi!" she exclaimed.
Mimi reached out and grabbed her hands. Sora pulled her causing her to all most fall they ran up the rest of the stairs and ran in to a room, locked it and backed up into the middle. Both breathing hard.
"Sora. What are they?" Mimi asked a scared.
"They're the dark knights." Told Sora.
"What's that?"
"You don't want to know." Whispered Sora.
They stood in the middle of the room with linked arms. Sora unlinked their arms and got her crossbow out ready with an arrow. Mimi did the same thing.
"Mimi be ready for what comes through that door." Whispered Sora.
They could both hear loud thumps of walking around on the second floor. Mimi and Sora got into a shooting position. They could hear feet pound right in front of their door. Mimi's eyes lead down to the bottom of the door. She could see the shadows of the dark knight's feet walk side to side on the other side of the door. Just then the door burst opened and 4 men dressed in black cloaks with their hoods covering their faces walked in.
Right when they walked in, Mimi and Sora released their arrows causing them to soar right into them. Mimi had another arrow ready in less than a second. It took longer for Sora to get them out though. Mimi kept shooting them over and over and over. She never missed once. Each time one of them cried out in pain. Mimi pinned one of them to the wall. Sora and Mimi only slowed them down. The other three made their way right in font of them.
"Guys we have trouble!" called Matt.
Everyone looked at him strange. "What is it?" asked Justin.
"Looks like someone was following us. They're heading to Mimi and Sora." Told Matt as he pointed at the tracks.
"Your right. Lets move!" yelled Justin. They all rode as fast as their horses could go. They rode across the wide bare land to save Mimi and Sora.
"Don't worry Mimi and Sora can handle themselves!" called Justin.
"Yeah right. I only came to protect my little sister. And so far it's not going to well!" yelled Robby.
"Don't worry! They'll be fine!" yelled Jerad.
We could finally see the abandoned onld house in clear view.
"We're almost there!" yelled Robby.
They rode up to the door, jumped off their horses and ran inside.
Sora was just about to get another arrow but one of the Dark Knights yanked her crossbow out of her hand and threw it out of reach. Sora gasped and looked at the Dark Knight with anger and fear at the same time. Mimi dropped her crossbow and just grabbed an arrow by it's self and stabbed it in one of the Dark Knights Face. It screeched in pain. The Dark Knight that Mimi pinned against the wall got loose and moved so fast you couldn't even see him. He ran behind Sora and Mimi and yanked the case that held their arrows causing the strap to rip. He threw the cases out the window.
The force of the yank sent Mimi and Sora to the ground with a loud thump. They looked up at the Dark Knights with fear. They slowly crawled away their eyes never leaving the Dark Knights. Sora stood up with a Dark Knight right in font of her. The Dark Knight took out his sword and ready to stab Sora. He brought the blade down meeting it with Sora's sword that she was hidding.
The knight started to laugh in a low loud roar. Mimi covered her ears.
"You think you can beat me?" he bellowed.
"Give up the Light now!" he demanded.
"Never!" yelled Sora. The knight brought his sword down and hit Sora to the ground causing her to loose conscious.
"SORA!" cried Mimi. All 4 of the Dark Knights walked up to Mimi who was crouched up against the wall. Mimi just sat there glaring at them. One of the Knights started to reach for the Light that hung around her neck. He was almost there when Mimi grabbed her little mini knife and stabbed it in the Knights leg. He yelled in pain and reached for his sword. Sora then regained concisions and looked over to Mimi. She quickly leaped in font of Mimi and took the painful blow of the blade going through her skin. She cried out in pain and held her stomach. "SORA!" screamed Mimi.
(If anyone forgot it's still in Matt's POV)
"MIMI. SORA!" yelled Justin.
Robby was the first one to run up the stairs, then Justin and me, followed by the others. We all got our swords ready to attack. We looked around in all the rooms. Finally I saw the Dark Knights in the last room around Mimi and Sora.
"Their in here!" I called.
The sound of other voices brought the attention way from the girls. All of a sudden the Dark Knights were being overruled by the guys. Robby and Jerad ran over to Mimi who was holding Sora in her arms.
"What happened!" Robby asked as he looked at her wound.
Mimi just looked at him with a tiny frown and tears ready to fall any second.
"We need to get her to the healing springs right now!" told Jerad.
I was taking 2 of the Dark Knights on my own. Justin and Adrian were taking on 1. We were slowly pushing the Knights towards the doors. Our swords kept making a clashing sound every time they met. I was having no trouble taking on two of the knights.
We finally drove the Knights out of the room and were now fighting in the hallway. I cut one of the Dark Knights in the stomach drawing blood. He yelled in pain and fell to the floor. I was now fighting the leader.
For some reason the leader of the Dark Knights stopped fighting with me.
"Fallback we're out numbered!" he yelled as he ran down the stairs, with the others following. The one that I injured stood up while holding his stomach and ran after the others. Adrian started to follow.
"Adrian. Stop. Let them go." Called Justin. Adrian frowned from disagreement but obeyed anyway. We all ran back into the room and knelt down next to the others.
"We need to get her to the Healing Springs." Told Jerad.
"Alright lets go." Replied Justin.
Robby picked up Sora and carried her out of the room with Mimi right by his side holding Sora's hand. We all ran out of the house and got on our horses. Sora wouldn't be with us very much longer, we had to hurry. Mimi got her own horse back; I rode on Sora's horse, while Sora rode with Robby. I looked behind me to see Mimi trailing behind everyone; I slowed the horse down and waited for Mimi. When she caught up she just rode past me with her head down.
"Mimi." I called, but she just ignored me. I rode up to her and kept the horses at the same pace.
"Mimi?" I asked again. Still no response. I sighed in frustration.
"Mimi, talk to me!"
"Why should I? I barely know you! I just met you yesterday. You think I'll just open up to you? Tell you all my feeling? Tell you everything that happens to run through my mind?" she snapped with her head still down.
I was about to yell back at her until her head came up and she looked at me with tears streaking down her pretty features. I calmed myself down and talked calmly to her.
"Mimi I don't expect you to tell me everything, and I know you just met me, but I'm trying to be your friend could you justbe a little nicer to me, I did save your life twice."
"Fine, I'll be nicer." She said as she wiped her tears away and smiled a little.
"I'm just worried about Sora." She said.
"I know we all are."
it's a sucky chapter. But like I said I didn't know how I was going to write the beginning, So it probably sucked. Anyway review and tell me what you think!>.
