Previously on needle in the hay: I opened my eyes slowly. By the time I fully opened my eyes I wished that I never had open them. A white flash and blood, there was blood everywhere.
Chapter 2
The three guards were on the floor with puddles of blood next to them. Only the leader remained. He had a large sword in his hand and it was pointed at a man's head. The man was dressed in white and had some type of armor He also wore a hood that cover most of his face. All I could make out was his lips. He was tall and muscular. From where I was standing could see his ring finger was gone and replaced by a blade in which he blocked the attacks of the leader. With swift movements he dodged gracefully the sword of the other man and slashed him in the chest. Blood splashed everywhere I could only stand in horror. I felt as if I had a giant bolder over my body. My legs could no longer support me and I slid down onto the ground. Who was this man? Was he going to kill me next? Why did he kill the guards? Then then turned to me. I could feel my heart sink. He was going to kill me! My body froze and I couldn't move. He now stood in front of me. His hand stretched out to me.
"Are you alright miss?" He asked in a deep husky voice. I wasn't going to die! I took his hand and he helped me up to my feet.
"Yes I'm fine, thank you for saving me sir" I said in a scratchy voice. Then I wiped the tears from my face. He nodded.
"The town is back that way you can get back there if you follow that path." He pointed into the direction of the town. Then he turned to take his leave.
"What please don't leave" I said with a shaken voice. Truthfully I was terrified of by what just happened. I was scared to be left alone. What if this happened again? What was i going to do then? I reached out to get a hold of his sleeve. My face was again filled with tears and I could feel my body shaken. I bet looked like a small child who lost their mother.
"I don't want to be alone please take me home, what if the attack me again please, please help me" I could feel him stiffen underneath my hand. For a long time we just stood there for a moment i thought that he was just going to leave me there.
"Fine I will escort you to your home but that is all" I smiled and wiped my tears away again.
"Thank you thank you so much kind sir" Even though I didn't know the man I felt safe with him. As if I could trust him, after all he did save my life.
He held his hand up to his lips that had a huge scar on them. He gave a load whistle and then I could hear a faint "clanking". Almost immediately a large, white horse came running towards his master. The man in white lightly stroked his fur and then turned to me. I gazed in amazement at the horse I mean it was beautiful so healthy and tall. I could tell it was taken care of very well.
"Miss?" I heard the man say politely. I gave a small "oh". I must have spaced out because the man looked a little annoyed (not that I could see his face) and his hand was stretched out for me to take. I took his hand and he helped me up onto the horse. Then he swiftly jumped on to it and gave his horse the command to go. I felt a small gust of wind enter my face it was nice though. After an experience like that I was really tired and I had no problem relaxing in the man's arms. Though he still was very tense. Then I realized that I had never asked my saviors name. Well if I was going to ask now is a good time as ever right?
"Um, Excuse me I never asked your na- "
"Don't that's not for you to know I doubt we ever meet again so it doesn't matter anyway."
I felt a little hurt by his words but he was right, but still I felt as if I should give him my name at least.
"I understand forgive me, but at least let me give you my name."
"It's Ela" I said proudly.
". . . Ah, I see the name suits you" I felt my cheeks get warm. My name meant beauty so did that mean he thinks I'm beautiful. No I'm sure he meant to be nice.
"T-thank you" great I was stuttering how lame.
"So if you don't mind me asking how did you learn how to fight like that?"
". . ." guess that's out of the question to huh?
"Well what about your horse's name, or is that a secret too." I giggled at my comment but I guess he didn't think that was so funny because he didn't say anything. Wonder if I said anything wrong. I felt as if I were talking to a wall.
"Ahmad . . ." (ok so I really don't know if this is his name but its sounds good so yeah)
"What a nice name you seem to like this horse a lot, huh?" I didn't expect an answer to that and of course I didn't. The rest of the ride consisted of me asking question or me saying something and getting an "hn" or nothing at all. Even though the man was silent most of the way the ride was nice and his silence did give the man a mysterious atmosphere witch I found very attractive. A little of me felt the need to be with him a little longer but I know that wasn't going to happen.
"You can drop me off here I'll be fine from here on, thank you".
The man helped me off the horse. My legs felt heavy but the man allowed me to hold on to him until I could stand right. The whole time I held on to him my heart raced and my face was a light red. I finally let go of him he turned to take his leave.
"Wait", I called out to him He turned his head a little. I don't know where I got my boldness but I did. I ran up to him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you for saving me sir." I said sincerely.
He stumbled back a little but quickly regained his posture. I took this chance to run towards my house. After a little a turned my head back. The man in white was gone by then. Ah well what's one little kiss going to do anyway, it's not I'll ever see him again.
