Jason's pov

I remembered everything and what I didn't was filled in by Sam. I was an orphan, a war orphan to be completely specific I lived in a peaceful town with my mom and dad when we were attacked I was playing in the woods when it happened, I came home to fire and ash I was only ten or eleven at the time, the people that did it were still there they were mercenaries at the time only six people they found me crying in front of the ashes of my house, they took me in because the leader saw something in me for the next six years the leader trained me, every now and then another kid would join all but one of the original mercenaries had an apprentice. Only the grown ups would go and fight we would follow them around from time to time but we mostly stayed at the castle. one time I was brought along to fight it was suppose to be an easy job just a small army, it was the first time I was going to fight with the actual mercenaries I was really nervous. it was a bright and sunny day not a cloud in the sky, the army we were fighting were in a valley, and our employer was sending an army in with us we had the advantage the nine of us were in the front. As we reached the valley storm clouds moved in. when the fighting started I stayed close to the leader. My shield felt heavier then usual I fought back the first wave of people no problem the second wave of people was another story I was knocked down on my back, the leader pulled me back up to my feet "if your shield is too heavy for you then drop it." he said I did as he told me and dropped my shield and charged into a group of enemy soldiers, the leader right beside me with the two of us the enemy group didn't stand a chance when they were gone the leader grabbed my shoulder "go along the left side and flank them, I'll meet you in the main camp." He said I nodded and ran off to the left a group of friendly soldiers were ahead of me going around the left side there was only one person guarding the left side the person was wearing a white robe and holding a scythe they were maybe a hundred feet ahead of the group in front of me, the group fell to the ground in the blink of an eye the person with the robe was now standing in front of me they were a little smaller then me "please go away." Said a small voice it was coming from the person in front of me

"why?" I said

"I don't want to kill you."

"then why fight?"

"because I have to."

"ok."

"are you turning back?"

"no, I need to get past you."

"I told you I don't want to fight you."

"then don't." I said and started walking past her, she put the blade of her scythe around my waist "I said I can't let you past." She said

"then we'll fight." I said she jumped back a couple of feet we stood staring at each other, then she jumped at me, I barely dodged the attack I countered with an up-ward swing but I only cut off a couple strands of hair she tried to hit me again this time it was faster and I didn't have anytime to dodge so I blocked it with my sword, but as a result my sword broke in half. The girl stopped the blade of the scythe resting on my neck "will you stop now?" she asked

"no." I replied

"why not? You have no weapon and I could kill you easily."

"I'm not one to just give up, but one thing what is your name?"

"it's Sam what is yours?"

"mine is Jason." I said I could see her smiling it was a sad smile she pulled her scythe back and it came down on my neck, I dropped to my knees, and I thought to myself am I really dead because I still felt the cold wind I could still the girl that should have taken my life, but the weirdest thing was I could still feel my heartbeat. The girl stumbled backwards I looked down I saw a dark red liquid running down my left arm and down my chest, it was my blood. I tried standing up and I got up normally like nothing happened, the girl stumbled back a bit more and fell on the ground, I flicked my hand towards her and a couple droplets of the liquid flew towards her and hit her neck, the liquid left a red mark across her neck down to the ground "stay there." I said walking away to the main camp my blood covered my whole body now I had no weapon the camp had people running around but they didn't notice me right away I ran towards the closest person to me and punched him with all my strength before I made contact with him the blood around my hand turned solid. After that the people closest to me drawn there weapons while the others started to run away to alert people or to hide I didn't know there were only five people fighting me they charged at me but it felt like they were moving in slow monition and I easily beat them I continued fighting till I got to the center of the camp a group of people were just standing around I yelled and charged into the group of people, I began breaking bones and ripping limbs off, the only thing going through my mind was to survive at whatever the cost, there was only seven or six people left one of them stepped forward, and I charged them I tried to tackle them to the ground the person easily side stepped me and knocked me on the ground they jumped on my back and pinned my arms behind my back. "Jason what happened to you?" said the person it was the leader

"I did what you told me and I got here." I said

"yeah and killed everyone we are all that's left."

"the enemy was that strong?"

"no, you did it we were waiting for you, and a fight started breaking out we thought it was the person protecting the flank but really it was you and the whole army was killed."

"no, I was fighting the enemy I got here before you did."

"Jason look around its just us alive now."

"no, its not just us there is Sam."

"whose Sam?" asked the leader getting off my back and pulling me up to my feet my blood had started to seep back to my neck where Sam cut me with her scythe I ran off in the direction of where I left Sam she was still laying on the ground I helped her to her feet she picked my both my broken blade and her scythe, she gave me the sword back I took it and since then she was part of the mercenaries and she rarely left my side after some time the older mercenaries either died or quit I was named the new leader and work was slow for a bit then we got a lot of jobs and had no time to rest but during one job Sam went missing and I searched for months to find her but I couldn't find her, time passed and we got another job one that was easy or suppose to be easy the client was a king he paid fully up front we were happy to go, and we did but it was a trap and everyone was suppose to died but it wasn't my time I guess.

Everyone was just killed stabbed or shot in the back before they drew their weapons I turned and stared at the army behind me, they parted and the king that hired us walked up "why did you do this?" I asked him as I dropped to my knees

"because your group is beginning to become troublesome so I had to kill them." He said casually like he did stuff like this all the time

"you will pay for what happened."

"will I now, how will that happen if you're dead?" he said turning on his heel and walking away one of the people walked over to my raising his sword and brought his sword down on my neck his sword stuck in my neck as I fell the rest of the way to the ground my blood began to spread out from the cut and hardening around my neck before moving to my head to make a helmet I felt other people stab me which made my blood spread faster till in encased my whole body I forced myself to stand up, the army around me stared to step backwards, I grabbed the broken blade that I took out on my first job my blood ran over it and made it look like a full blade again I swung it at the closet man some of the blood launched off and went through the man and continued through the whole line of men the people just stared at it, I did a side slash all the blood launched off the blade in an ark taking out a quarter of the army I tried to do it again right away but nothing happened, the army was taken out of their daze they stared to close in around me the blood washed over the blade again I slashed again this time the wave of blood launched out cutting down the men in its path I continued with this pattern till it was only me and the king left I walked towards him, he didn't move a muscle I killed him. After I began to feel weak I stumbled away to a hill my vision was blurry I started to fall to my knees but someone caught me and wrapped me in a hug I knew it was Sam and after that I woke up in a field that's when Jake found me.
