When I lost him that day I lost myself. When I was out there in the battle field with him I watched that man come beside him and aim his gun, I still remember that feeling the step before the fall. My heart was racing and I felt my whole body go numb as I raced toward him. But right before my eyes I watched the bullet go in the front of his chest and out the back in horror, he dropped to the ground in front of me. And I couldn’t do anything, nothing at all. And after that day, I’m all alone. By the time I got home I was so broken that, my own parents, put me in a mental institution. It’s been five years, luckily after a few months I started eating again... or so the doctor said. But all I can tell is the gap that was left in me, my heart beats but I’m not alive I exist but I’m not alive.

I am the king Collins personal knight Lennon in the kingdom of gal-bury. And I am first woman knight in this kingdom, but enough about me to the story. I saw a maid power walking toward me and bow “king Collins has summoned you to his office.” She splatted out, I bowed back “thank you.” I have never been one to show emotion, I’ve been in to many fights and a few more wars than preferred, but at least we have the top spot as the best kingdom. When I got to the giant spruce doors I lightly knocked twice as I heard the king Collins speak “come in.” I went through the two big doors and stood right in front of his desk “ah, good you are here. I have a mission for you,” I nodded and excepted his task before he continue so he could go into detail “you will get my younger brother and bring him back to me alive, so I can kill him for my spot in front of everyone.” This was nothing out of the normal so I was unaffected by his words I knew this task was coming soon. “Yes sir is that all?”, “yes...” he smiled and waved me out when I was almost out he yelled “I knew you were the best choice for a knight! Don’t disappoint me.” I could almost feel the room get cold. When it was the day to find him I was given a map and possible location of where he is at along with three men, I was dressed casually with my knight uniform under my dress so that we could play a little damsel in distress, it works every time. When we got there the area was a forest so it was hard to tell where he would be but based off the stories of how intelligent and his great fighting... he would be in the trees and take the men down from a distance. I went ahead and let them put the cuffs on me, since I was and expert of getting out of cuffs worst comes worst I can get out. We started walking when one arrow shot down a guard about and hour in of walking. Then the next guard then the next until it was just me, he jumped down from the tree “thank you so much sir, you saved me!” I pretended to be happy with a big dopey grin on my face. “Cut the crap, I know your at least a maid of the castle. And knowing you came out here you must have a little practice with a weapon or something.” He was unfazed, I frowned but not at his smarts “a maid!” I scoffed at his remark and slid out the the cuffs ripping off the dress over my knight uniform. This caught him off guard “a woman knight, impossible!” His eyes were wide and he looked like a deer in headlights, I pulled my sword slashing at him. But he dodged easy and tackled me to the ground, his weight was suffocating but I couldn’t give up. I let out a cough and scrambled hitting his head, so he put up his hand to guard his head so I slipped out and scooted out looking for a weapon when I felt something cold and shard on my neck. “Don’t move it will only make it worse for you.” He smirked “tsk” I said as I put my hands up. So he laughed “what is so funny.” I glared “I’m still shocked a woman knight! But you are just wives!” My chin dropped at his words and so I leaned back putting both of my legs on his hips from the ground. “What are you doing, I’m not interested in you.” I smiled and his head tilted and I jolted and climbed onto his feet kicking him to the ground. I could hear his sharp inhale, when he fell to the ground I grabbed for his sword when he grabbed it “I see, you caught me off guard again... but your outmatched with brute force.” Then he pulled me in and turned over until I was forced to gasp for air, as I struggled he said “I will make a deal with you... you bow to me and say you will stay with me or you die here.” I coughed and heard a snap along with a sharp pain in my side, as the warm

My friend’s around the campfire when on blabbing about some fairytale stories or some romance crap that they find necessary because we are all girls. So let’s stop this nonsense “hey all of you, pay attention I’m gonna tell you something.” They didn’t say a word but they tuned towards me and gave me their attention. “Ok so like a while ago at this national park, their was a get together with a bunch of girls just like us.” They look at me blankly until Blane the most boy crazy one of us all blurted “is there a boy?” She can never keep her mouth shut “yeah now shhhh.” Her eyes filled with excitement “they were goofing off and chillin when they heard something, they flipped her head around looking for where it came from when a tall man emerged from the side of the bush and tree wall, under the dimes light his bright red eyes stood out like and blood moon in the night sky. Almost every girl was amazed but one, she had no interest in anything but work. She was always wrapped up in her F.B.I. Work, and never snapped out of her work. She found this man suspicious he is out in the middle of nowhere, has unusual features pale white skin, red eyes, dark black hair, and out of this world clothing. So then she blurted over the silence “name and registration” her friends were furious “really your doing this right now, here sir come over here and I will help get you a blanket” she reached out for the man and she pushed her back “no he didn’t answer my question.” She could feel his glare like daggers so she looked up and saw his frown turn to a sly smirk. She reaches for her gun and orders “everyone in the tent, now!” But when she goes to point it he was gone, as she tuned back to her friends they were all dead lifeless on the ground. She knelt beside each one and checked their pulses. But she was to late they were all gone, with two weird marks on there necks like a big snake. But in this area it was impossible to have a big snake, so she snapped photos of the scene. Snatched all the food and blankets and ran, she ran through the forest feeling like a target, a running bullseye. She knew she had to make it to a road to get home so she followed the trail they came in on. By now it was dark she was tired and hungry and confused. While the predator watched as his prey scrambled until it could no more. Her legs gave out as she collapsed to the floor, but she was persistent so she scrambled back up and continued.” I took a quick break for a drink of water and watched their mesmerized faces so I continued “the man admired her persistence, and blessed her with life but not the life she wanted. She wanted a normal world, and he did not have that. She came crashing into something in the dark making her stumble to the ground “I must be weak” she muttered “I ran into a tree!” She gave out and exasperated laugh. But when she looked up to meet the cold blood red eyes, she had enough of his games. She shot him square in the chest, the sound rang through the trees as she ran. After the pain was nearly gone he stood up and implied “that bitch shot me!... she has quite some nerve I was not expecting that.” He gave off a cold look as he sprung to catch up to her. She was pushing on full adrenaline now knowing that the bullet would only stop him for a second, and she was right. At that most she was pulled backwards into something hard and cold, with humans hands she could barely make out. He gripped her and flung up a tree. When at the top he proposed “now you come with me, or you fall. Pick your choice.” As he turned her around she had more hate in her eyes than his blood red eyes, she spit on him and stated “I would rather die.””

That girl... was me

When their is someone you love it’s sometimes best to go, “ my presence isn’t safe for you.” I stated with a straight face starring at the picture behind his head because I was afraid that if I looked him in the eye I would break. “ why?” He whimpered, “ what do your mean?” My words were cold and strong I could see his hair flash in front of the picture as he stepped back. “ why are you leaving? And why didn’t you leave sooner?”. I sucked in one long breath trying to be strong but accidentally sniffled, “ because I’m afraid you will leave before I do?” I accidentally looked at his face as he reached out and wiped a tear, I checked to make sure and their were tears. Then gave in to his embrace. “ I will never leave.” He said softly but still strong like the wind. I nuzzled my head further into his chest, and we just stood there. “ wait” I said as I pushed off his chest, he looked shocked like I was leaving. I picked up my bag and pulled out my phone, and started the call. He never moved and inch, “ hello? “ I head on the other line it was my sister I was planning to move in with her. “ I’m not coming.” I stated “whAt” she replied “ you heard me im not coming.” And hung up. As I jumped back into his arms.

That day that I have dreaded for so long has finally come, o braced myself as I bound into the unknown. So far everything was fine the old house looked empty, but that what all the people in horror say. I doesn’t help that I’m alone, it’s no one of those times where if “ I run faster than the person I’m with I will survive!” You could hear my squeaky boots and they moved against the old floors, their were vines and moss coating the walls like wall paper around every corner. It’s too bad that this house ended up like this, but I can’t let myself get distracted I’m only halfway through the first floor and I still have one more to go. The first floor had no sign of movement, and I wasn’t shocked... if it wasn’t a dare I wouldn’t be in here! My friends are just so into paranormal stuff... but they are too afraid to come in here themselves. When did I end up with a bunch of sissy’s! The whole loop of this floor is done, I looked up the old grand hickory stairs and got and uneasy feeling from the pits of my stomach. I gulped hard and embraced myself up the stairs checking each step to make sure I wouldn’t fall in, like a kid in a creek. When I made it to the top of the stairs I let go of my breath and glanced down both halls. See this isn’t so bad not as much miss and vibes up here! I chose the left hall first and took huge strides down it so this would go faster. Empty, the second hall empty see this is so easy it’s ok I’m ok! I took a few skips to the top at the stairs and laughed at myself. A huge black shadow suddenly covered where I was standing, oh no. I could feel a strain of my shirt up against my neck until their was nothing but darkness in my sight.
