The Princess and the Mercenary
Me: Well, everyone! A new chapter. This story will be getting wrapped up here in a few chapters.
Lyndsay: Awww man.
Chapter 7
***** "What do you mean I have a lot of explained to do?" Roy asked, as he finally regained his senses.
"What were you doing in enemy territory last night?" I asked, a little pissed.
"I'm the damn general of the Crimean army. I had to be there." He groaned.
"Crimea isn't involved with the war with Simbodia and Daein, dumbass." I told him.
"That doesn't stop- Wait a minute. What the hell are you doing here?" He asked. I blushed and started moving out of the tent.
"Uhhhhhh….." I mumbled just before I took off out of the tent, with Roy behind me.
"Leave me alone, Roy." I shouted as he almost grabbed me.
"Why are you here?" He shouted back. Just then he toppled over me and we went tumbling. He got on top of me and pinned my arms back.
"Don't call me Lyndsay. Call me Emily." I hissed.
"Why the hell-?" He started before we heard grumbling from the tents.
"Just do it. Please?" I pleaded.
"Fine. Just tell me why you're here?" He asked.
"I want to help out in the war." I told me. Just then, people started piling out of their tents. When Roy's defense was down, I kicked him off and scrambled to my feet.
"Don't….ever….do…that..again." He growled, clutching his stomach.
"Then don't get on top of me ever again. It felt awkward." I shivered in disgust.
"There better be a good reason why you woke us the hell up." I heard Shinon say behind me. I whirled around as everyone was leaning against some sort of object.
"Well, Roy's awake if that's a good enough reason." I told them as I pointed at Roy with my thumb.
"Oh, so sleeping beauty decided to wake up, huh?" I heard Soren snicker.
"Fuck you, Soren. You try getting walloped over the head and falling unconscious." Roy snapped at him.
"You're such a baby, Roy. Both you and Emily."
"Uncalled for, Soren! Why don't you quit being emo for at least a day?" I hissed at him.
"I am not a damn emo so shut the fuck up about it, alright?" The three of us started yelling at each other. Then, suddenly, we all fell silent.
"Is the joyous reunion over yet?" Boyd asked, sarcastically. I was still silent and sniffed the air slightly. Something didn't seem right. It better not be another ambush.
"Emily, what's wrong?" Ike asked, a little worried.
"Something. The wind is picking up a familiar scent. I just don't know what." I told them. I transformed my eyes to look and see like a wolf. I looked in the forest and could see movement about 400 feet away. Someone drew back and arrow and was aiming at Soren and Roy. I made a shard icicle and threw it like a dagger toward the archer. I heard the ice pierce into his flesh then nothing.
"What the hell just happened?" Roy asked.
"Someone was about to shoot you." I told him.
"It could be more Daein soldiers." Titania told us.
"Why do they keep coming back here? They must want something." Oscar told us. Just then, Commander Matha and his army of about 32 Daein soldiers popped out of the forest. Everyone got out their weapons and got into their battle stances.
"We don't have time for you mercenaries. Just give us the girl and we will leave you be." Matha boomed at us.
"You are not going to lay a finger on Mist." Ike growled. Matha smirked and looked at me.
"We're not talking about that girl. We come for the girl you call Emily." I froze in my spot. I slowly drew out of blade.
"I told you. I am not going with you." I growled at him.
"Either you will come with us and make this trip easier than we expected or we will take you by force. Your chose." He snickered evily.
"Bring it on, you rat bastard." He drew out his blade.
"Have it your way. Princess." He whispered the last part, which was almost inaudible. The Daein soldiers started charging towards us. I front flipped over them and landed at the feet of Matha.
"Don't think you wont fulfill the prophecy, princess. You will marry King Ashnards son. You will. Even by force." He told me.
"Enough talk. Fight me already." I told him. He only snickered and sheathed his sword.
"I have strict orders not to harm Princess Lyndsay. Your friends, however, are supposed to die." He told me. I turned around and the Daein soldiers were kicking the mercenaries asses. I ran up and sliced the ones that were fighting Mist, Rolf, and Ranulf. We went after the remaining and killed majority.
"Daein soldiers. Retreat!" Matha commanded. The Daein soldiers took off into the forest. Matha turned around and gave me an evil smirk.
"The next time you see me, you will be coming with us."
"Over my dead fucking body." I spat at him.
"If you still refuse to come with us, everyone will know the truth about you." He played. I was slightly confused.
"What truth?" I asked.
"The truth about your mother. The truth you've been hiding from people for the last 11 years. Make a smart move." And he disappeared. I was boiling with rage. He did NOT just play that card on me.
