Hey, sorry I took so long to update, my dad decided to be evil and take my laptop off me. But I have it now xD I should probably warn you that if my dad gets annoyed at me he will take my laptop off me, usually a he keeps it for a week so I may take a while to upload sometimes. I really wanted to get another chapter up asap so I do apologize if this chapter isn't that good
CARLY'S POV
I woke up to the feeling of something moving behind me. I was lying on the left side of my bed, the furthest away from the door and was lying my left side. It was only now that I realized how much of a vulnerable position that I was in. Suddenly I felt an arm go around my waist and someone groaning
I recognised that groan. I turned around to see Sam, really close to me asleep with a funny look on her face
She must be having a weird dream I thought. Hold on. She fell asleep on the couch I smiled. Sam woke up and came to sleep with me
"Looks like someone missed me" I whispered. Sam still had a strange look on her face and she groaned again "You must be having a bad dream"
*.*.*Sam's dream.*.*
Sam was lying down in the middle of the field, barely visible in the long grass. She is wearing brown trousers, a baggy white shirt and she was barefooted. From the way she was dressed and all the hills, grass and trees that surrounded her, it looked like she was in Scotland a few hundred years ago
Ugh I am so pissed. It's sickening, actually sickening. Every day I have to watch Mrs Benson and Spencer force Carly and Freddie on each other. Carly's not interested in him in the slightest and Freddie's in love with some other girl in the village I punched the ground with my fist. I lift my still clenched fist and was about to punch the ground again but I was interrupted
"Samantha!" I turn around at the sound of my sisters voice. Melanie was running towards me and really fast considering she was wearing a long dress. Melanie knew this was where I go when I'm not with Carly and Freddie
"Samantha!" I stood up so she could see where I was "Samantha, you must come home at once! Our family's disagreement with the Hall family from the next village has now caught the attention of other villages who have the same disagreement and they are all on their way here!"
"You mean like a war?"
"Well if word keeps on spreading and more villages get involved then it could become big enough to be a war" I grabbed Melanie's wrist and started to run back home fast I could. As we entered the village I noticed that lot's of women and children are loading carriages and riding horses
"What's happening, where are they going?" I asked Melanie, still holding her wrist, walking fast towards out home
"They are going somewhere safe. We're leaving too" I stopped walking
"I am not leaving! I'm staying to fight!" I turned around, Melanie looked shocked
"You can't stay!" I let go of Melanie's wrist, I'm pissed off, I look her in the eye
"Watch me" I then ran home and burst through the wooden door of the hut to see my mother, uncles and cousins deep in conversation. They all turned around to look at me and they look confused
"What is it Samantha?" My uncle Carmine asked
"I'm staying here to fight" Everyone laughed at me
"Samantha, you can't stay here. You're a girl. Fighting is for men"
"You can't stop me from staying" I walked closer to my family
"As a matter of fact, we can" my mother said "All of us here could easily tie you up and put you in a carriage" Ugh, they piss me off so much! But if I stay here and try to talk them out of it they may actually all attack me and make me leave. I turn around and run outside. Most of the women and children of the village have left. There are plenty of places that I could hide without my family finding me. All I need to do is wait until the fight starts
I make my way to the small stream where I used to go play with Melanie, Carly and Freddie when we were younger. Melanie and Carly would have already left the village. Melanie was like a little kid and would run at the first sign of danger so she had obviously left. And Spencer would have made sure that Carly got on one of the carriages the second he found out about all this
As for Spencer and Freddie, I assume that Freddie's mother tried to take her little Freddie to safety with her, whether Freddie went with her or acted like a man and has stayed to fight, I don't know. I can almost guarantee that Spencer is off inventing some new kind of weapon
I decide to go to Carly and Spencer's home. Hopefully Spencer would understand and wouldn't make me leave... Why did I want to stay and fight so badly anyway? If I left with Melanie then then I would be somewhere safe with Carly and Melanie
As I walked through the village I saw a man who looked like he was in his late thirties. He was sitting against a wall and was smiling up at the sky
"Beautiful day, isn't it Sam" I stopped walking, I was about ten feet away from this man and he was still smiling at the sky. I didn't recognise him and I don't know how me knows my name... Maybe he was a friend of my mothers
"Uh... Yeah" I replied The man then looks me in the eyes
"Do you still want to fight?"
"Yeah... Who the hell are you?" The man shrugged his shoulders
"Not important. Now, you do realize that none of the men in this village will actually let you fight. The second they see you they will make sure that they send you off to safety"
"Not if it's too late and I manage to hide until the fight starts!" The man chuckles to himself
"Yes, yes they would" He was still smiling and it was really starting to annoy me "That is why I have something for you" I looked at him confused
"What?"
"I have something for you. Something that will allow you to fight, even if the men in the village do see you" I thought about what he just said for a few seconds and was really confused... What on earth could he give me that would allow me to fight. Even if the men in the village see me, this thing that this man is going to give me will somehow stop them from making me leave
"And what on earth could that be?"
Thank you for reading and thank you to those who reviewed, I love seeing that I have reviews, I have already gotten a new idea for part of this story just from reviews! Also I think soon I will start putting a few lines from the next chapter at the end of every chapter, what do you think
