Chapter 7
We rode for about an hour and a half; turning in the direction we felt the twin's presence. Three times we nearly hit someone but we were able to dodge, a slight laugh coming from me as Ezio's grip tightened each time. It was only now that I had realized that I was leaning back slightly, my back pushed into his chest but I was comfy, I didn't want to move right now. Roy looked a little pissed at Ezio for having his arms around me but didn't say anything. I let out a soft giggle, noticing the look on Roy's face "Geez bro...Chill out...Nothing is going to happen!" I mentally scolded/shouted. Roy seemed to get the message through my facial features as Roy just gave me a strict look and mouthed the words "Better not! I'll kill him if he does Hoshi!" which only made me laugh. Both Ezio and Mario looked at me like I was nuts until I heard Ezio shout a "Hoshi! Watch where you're going!" as we came upon some gallows. The horse had hit a fence, sending Ezio and myself flying into the air, Ezio, being able to land perfectly didn't get hurt. But my body being lighter than his sent my higher and farther into the air. I landed on something kind of soft...and warm...I had closed my eyes in the flight and hadn't realized it but when I opened my eyes I was looking Shawn dead in the face, literally. My Brother Shawn's throat had been slit.
A silent scream ripped from my throat as I slowly got up, my knees feeling weak. Roy and Ezio were at my sides in moments. Roy looked like he wanted to kill someone while Ezio put his right hand over my eyes while his left arm went around my waist, pulling my back into his chest. I could feel my throat constricting as I wanted to cry but instead just bit my bottom lip to silence my whimpers. When I had heard Sasha's scream out a "Hoshi! Roy! Help me please!" my head shot up to where I had heard the voice but when I went to jump Ezio just held me tighter. "Let me go Ezio! I need to save Sasha!" I nearly shouted at him. "Fine...Be careful Hoshi..." Ezio said as he released me. Both Roy and I took a running start at Sasha but then I realized what was going on. Sasha was to be beheaded...Right in front of us. The executioner had the blade in his hand, Sasha's head already resting on the block. My breath caught in my throat when the blade slid with ease through Sasha's neck, killing her.
"SASHA!" I screamed as I bolted towards her body, a snarl ripping from my body as I tackled the executioner taking him down to the ground where we wrestled for a moment before my fist connected harshly with his jaw, breaking it. I snarled, pulling a small throwing knife from the pouch and slit his throat deep, some blood splattering onto my face. Roy was stood there, motionless as he watched me kill. I slowly got up, walking over to Sasha's body as a whimper ran through me. Tears began streaming down my face as I let out a scream in sorrow and frustration. Slowly I picked Sasha's decapitated body into my arms, snuggling into her slightly before Roy's arms were around me to where he began dragging me away from the dead twins. The whole while I had been kicking, screaming, biting and punching Roy. Calling him every name under the sun as I broke down sobbing, another scream ripping from me.
"S-S-Sas...S-Sasha..." I stuttered out as Roy held me tight to his body, my head burying into the crook of his neck my arms around his body. Ezio and Mario bowed their heads in respect for mine and Roy's lost as everything was silent other than my sobs and few jumbled words.
