The Princess and her Guardians

Chapter 3: Capture

I returned home early this morning so my father didnt get suspicous. I awoke to hear my father talking to his soldiers

Father: "Alright men I shall take some of you inside the manor with me to discuss with these brutes and the rest shall wait outside in case something goes wrong."

I come down to see what is going on, my father beckons his men to go outside and looks at me.

Father: "Air listen I need you to lock the doors and windows and close the curtains keep quiet and dont answer the door to ANYONE I will carry my key with me ok? Promise me you will do this."

"But...whats going on father?..I want to go with you!"

Father grabbed me by my shoulders "NO!...no..just please...do this for me..."

I know my father is hiding something from me but I nod my head and he gathers his fighting equipment and leaves. I wait for his men to leave and I grab his extra soldier suit, I put it on wrap up my breast to hide them, pull up my hair and place my helmet on. I know I promised my father I wouldnt leave home but I cant help it especially if hes bringing the entire army with him...

Sith looks at me in curiousity. "Where are ya going? You arnt gonna follow him are you?"

"I have no choice hes hiding something and besides it will be my first test of being a soldier...stay here and lock my room door in case he comes home and im not here."

Sith: Alright...but be careful..

"I will I promise" I leave the house and look ahead. "father said it was at the old manor right?..Im on my way."

As I arrive I see the gates open and no one is outside.. "This isnt good...father ordered some men to stay outside unless their is trouble so that must mean.." before I can finish my thought I hear cries of pain and gunshots. "Father!" I cant help but run inside.

I run inside looking for my father but all I find is soldiers either passed out or...dead... As I run deeper in I hear my fathers voice and others that sound so familiar..

Father: Theres no way in hell il allow you bastards to take my daughter!

Reno chuckled. You can stop calling her daughter you sick fuck..you only care about her because of what she is and you were ordered to call her that so quit the act and just tell us where she is, this didnt have to get ugly.

Father: I rather die than tell you assholes!

Reno: Have it your way

As I enter I see the three men I saw last night and my father, severly injured and lying against a pillar, reno holding a gun aimed to his heart. I...I have to do something! I run in front of my father holding him tight. I just feel a horrid sting in my back...so this is what its like to get shot..

Cloud looked at me with a expression that showed he was sad. "Its too bad innocent soldiers have to die because the asshole wont just spill it..kill him but make it painless reno.."

Reno: Can do.. As he aims for my head but before he can pull the trigger some soldiers came in and attacked them one screaming at me to get the commader out of here. I ran with my father on my shoulder until we can get to a hidden area under the stairway I patch him up as much as I could and lay him down. "Stay here il go look for a way out and come get you when its safe." He just nods silently.

I search around carefully, I dont want to run into those men again.. I see the exit and just as I am about to return to my father I feel someone grab the back of my shirt and fling me across the room, I hit the wall so hard it knocked all of the air out of my lungs. Zack stands in front of me and grabs me by the collar and slams me into the wall once again.

Zack: "Alright listen I didnt want to hurt you but you soldiers are starting to piss me off now tell us where the old man is"

I cough blood on him "wha...what do you want...with air?..."

Cloud laid against the wall behind him and reno lay against the wall beside me. reno looked curiously at me. "Do you know her very well?.."

"Why does it matter?..." Reno smiles at cloud and zack.

Reno: Screw the old man lets just have this kid spill it

I spit blood on him. "Go fuck yourself.." Zack punches me in the stomach and drops me to the ground, they continue to kick me until reno grabs me by the small patch of my hair sticking out. "Oww..Lets go!"

Reno smiles "no way little boy now answer us or else..."

I had no choice...I grabbed the small knife from my pocket and slashed in the air only I didnt aim for his hand..I sliced my hair and he tried to grab something but only grabbed my helmet and ripped it off. The three men looked surprised and guilty but I took off running, I wasnt going to give them a chance to recover from the sight and try to take me.

I ran far into the forest though the blood loss really slowed me down, I made it to the river, I cleaned up my cuts though the gun shot wound just kept bleeding, but I had no time to worry about that I heard their voices getting closer.. I take off running but I only get a little further before I collaspe..I cant breathe..I cant move..my vision is slowly disappearing...I'm going to die..I'm going to die..as my vision blurs I just see the mens feet and I muttered quietly 5 words.. "I...dont want to die..." and it all goes black..
