ch.3
Held Up...
David was a little shaken up by the dream still but was acting pretty calm, he was cooking some chicken for breakfast, the range was seemed especially warm since it was snowing outside. He was about to put his plate away when he heard a knock on the door. He set his plate off to the side of the oak table and headed toward the door. When the door swung open a cold breeze swept across the floor and sent a shiver up his back. It was Chris; he was in his thick blue robes and was carrying a wind staff. "Chris? What are you doing here?" David asked quickly grabbing his grey robes and quickly put them on; "well" Chris began slightly annoyed "YOU were suppose to be at the jolly boar inn 30 minutes ago!" David looked slightly surprised but shook his head in disagreement. "Wait no, that makes no sense, it starts at 12:00, its only... OH CRAP! 11:45!" Chris looked at his Mage watch and frowned, "hmm, mine is an hour off..."
David grabbed his pick, sword, and armor and ran out the door, "c'mon we got to be there in 15 minutes!" Chris broadly smiled and gave David a thumbs up, "ive got a chariot! He will be there faster than you can say... uh... hmm... WEE CHARIOT!!!" David's eyes got big as his hands and eye twitched, "Chris... your on some serious crack okay?..." Chris hunched over and frowned, "just being positive about the whole situation..." David just stared at him for a moment then got in the chariot. Chris ran over and got on top, he positioned himself and then whipped the horses so they would start moving. The chariot began to move forward and shake slightly on the old road, inside David was putting on his steel armor and checking his blade to make sure it was in good condition and still sharp. Eventually however the chariot had to stop at a four-way road because a few men were standing in the road, "HEY!" Chris shouted "GET OUT OF THE ROAD! WERE IN A HURRY!" but the men didn't leave, instead the approached the horses, not saying a word they all too out long blades and slit there throat, blood poured out and onto the dirt road, they spazed out and tried to get away but they fell to the ground and laid still "Good saradomin! What on runescape are you doing!?!?" Chris stopped talking when they started coming toward him.
Chris got out his staff and grabbed some runes from his pocket, Flame formed in his palm and he threw it with anger at one of the highway men, he bursted into flames and began to scream as his flesh kindled and his hair sizzled, he fell to the floor and died as his allies watched in shock. The leader of the men who wore a black cape and mask glared at Chris, "KILL HIM!" he yelled as they charged at him, "oh dear..." Chris mumbled as he stumbled off the chariot and onto the floor. The highwayman raised his sword and brought it down with tremendous force, but a familiar steel blade suddenly blocked it. David stood there blade against his enemies and stared at him teeth clenched, "ya know... normal people WORK for there money... you should try it some time." David then violently lifted his blade causing the man to stumble backwards. He kept his ground and charged at David instead of Chris, "David blocked the first blow and kneed the man in his chest "oof!" he groaned as he fell to the floor. David flipped the blade around and stabbed it through his chest, he yelled in pain as he began to choke on his own blood until his body twitched and stopped.
"J-JACOB IS DEAD!" one of the other thieves said eyes wide in a mixture of sadness and anger. He then shot up at David and looked him dead in the eye, "YOU SHALL DIE INFIDEL!!!!" David got in a fighting position and spun around the man dodging his sword, he used his momentum and cut his head cleanly off his body blood spilling onto David's armor. Then two men came at him at once, the last two luckily, David rammed the first man in the face with his steel plated shoulder knocking him to the ground as he grabbed his nose in pain. The other man came at David but he was too distracted by the other man, as he raised his sword David turned around realizing it was too late to block, until a ball of flame struck the mans back causing him to drop his sword and run about screaming "IM ON FIRE!!! SARADOMIN HELP ME!!!" but his screaming died out as David stabbed the man with the broken nose through his head.
Chris and David looked at each other, David was drenched with the foul stench of sweat and blood, and his armor was stained in the crimson liquid, Chris stood the sweating and tired, holding himself up with only his staff. "So... what now?" asked Chris between breathes. David looked around, "well..." he began while looking at the sign in the road, "well... there's a house north of here... looks like... a large manor... c'mon lets go." with that Chris and David got there things from the chariot and headed down the northern path...
