Chapter 1 Page 1
As the night started to set, the winds started to rustle in the trees. Staring up at the sky I could only see the bright moon which was starting to be covered by the passing clouds. I look down at my walking feet to make sure I don't trip over anything. Owls hooting in the trees as I kept walking by them. I have no idea where I'm going or even where I came from. I don't even remember my name as I try to ask my self in confusion. As I keep asking myself I come to a halt, seeing flickering light ahead. My instincts kick and I hide behind one of the nearby trees. Peeking over the side I could people talking in conversation. I creep in closer trying to not make a sound to hear what they are talking about. I sat behind one of the tents that were up in the camp and could hear them speak very softly. "What should we do?" The man in the hood said. "We need to make a plan to get into the castle and kill the king before he makes anymore laws that making our village in more pain then it already is." The cloaked man said sitting on a log by the fire. "Kill the king?" As I think to myself. "What plan could we make Ellse, I mean there are guards everywhere there would be a slim chance to get in." "You are right, we need to get information from someone there to find out if there is any hidden pathways." The cloaked man said as he sat down on the other log on the other side of the fire. As I sat up to itch my back, "Snap!" As a twig broke under my foot. I looked around as fast as I could to see if the men noticed and as I look back around the tent they looked around in confusion. "What was that?"Ellse said in a quiet voice. I felt i had no choice but to run into the forest. I stood up and started to run into the tress as one of the men said "Who goes there!?" I didn't stop to respond to his question and kept running into the dark trees which were only lit by the dim moon that is now covered by the clouds in the sky. I could hear them running after them saying "Let's get him!" I could no longer think but react to my running and dodging the trees. Running as fast as I could flying past the dim lit trees I could still hear them chasing me. "What am I going to do, I can't run forever." As I thought to myself. Breathing hard I could tell I was getting tired and quick too. "If I don't do something then I'll...." I stopped running, I could feel my legs moving but I was stuck in place. Next thing I knew i was falling faster and faster till I fell into some water. As I started kicking and flailing to get to the surface my legs wouldn't move. I could feel my breath leaving me as if i was being held under water. "Thud" As my body hit a rock and I popped up onto the surface of the raging water. I still couldn't move like i was paralyzed from the neck down. I could see the sky and trees passing by as the cold water splashed in my face. My eyes were starting to get heavy as sleep was upon me from exhaustion. My eyes closed and everything went blank as I passed out.
