Just have to warn you that this chapter is dark. Really dark.
Really really dark.
And now onto happier things!
My answer to the challenge thing from yesterday...
I fence. And I have to say fencing is epic. I mean, who else gets to do a medieval-ish sport where you poke each other?
Jousting?
But jousting is cool as well.
Oh well.. Answering somethings...
I have never seen the NBA. I don't really watch any sports :) And I agree diving is cool but I want to learn how to ice skate :)
And now onto the story!
Title = I Can't
Word Count = 571
Summery = She writes a letter saying why she can't
Feel my sorrow as I write this. Feel my tears as they stain tracks onto my face.
I can't continue living this way. Under this ruler. Ever since King Duncan was murdered life for everyone has gone down hill.
The first thing that happened was that they rounded up all of the knights. Before Horace went he said how much he was going to miss us all and to stay strong and fighting. He was lucky. He missed most of the massacre. Instead he got his own killing time because he was prince of the realm. After all of the knights were murdered just for being "loyal to the evil Duncan", the people started rebelling.
Next the ruler rounded up all of the rangers. They smartly went into hiding, protecting us all somehow at the same time, or well trying to. I remember Will telling Gil later on how he was fed up with the way his life had turned out. "If it saves lives Gil, I'm all for it," he had said.
That was the second last time I had seen him.
The last time I saw him, he was with Gil again, standing straight and proud. I don't know how. Alyss was sobbing into my shoulder. Their children had been murdered only days before. It made me secretly glad that I never got around to having children.
The axe fell and the famous ranger commander was killed.
A few moments more and the axe fell. Halt was dead.
I clung to Alyss tightly.
The axe fell again and Gilan was dead.
Alyss looked up and watched sobbing as her husband died, and with him the secrets of the Ranger Corps.
Two weeks later both Alyss and Lady Pauline killed themselves. They couldn't live in this world any longer and now I can't.
I can't continue like this. I can't continue this life. I have no clue why I wrote this letter anyway. I am the last of my family, even my adopted one, and the country has become too afraid to read anything along the same lines as this.
So I say farewell. It's over.
I can't.
Jenny
Well that was strangely fun to write. I could imagine her at a desk writing it sobbing it and then folding it up.
I might have to have professor Guiles find it...
But honestly, who guessed until the end that it was Jenny writing it? I don't think I have ever written in her POV before even... Wow...
QUESTION! :)
If RA became more popular than Harry Potter (and had movies and everything) what do you think would happen and what would your reaction be?
