-Chapter Three

I looked away and started walking toward the direction of the opening. As soon as I was out of sight I climbed a tree and started jumping from tree to tree again. It didn’t take me long to get back.

I stuffed the paper in my bag and went to sleep still having an angry feeling from earlier. Yes I got into a school for magic which would help my strength a lot but I was annoyed that he grabbed the paper right before I was going to reach it. Which to me means he is saying I am better than you in many things.

This encounter was still something. It’s weird that he was unprotected though. He didn’t have any guards with him. Maybe the guards were in the distance watching if I would attack or not and would only show there self if they needed to. This would’ve kept me awake but I was tired from all the traveling so I fell asleep.

Dream is not a word for me, nightmare is tho. Today was the normal. It started off with a baby crying, then the scene comes in. It’s very blurry. Like when you just opened your eyes from a nap, but I can still make out what’s there.

There are two houses on fire most likely part of a village, one is facing me but is farther away then the one closest to me which facing to my left with a path that goes to the closest house then swerves to the left reaching the door of the farthest house. I or the baby is seated in a field of grass right next to the closest house.

A woman with dark brown hair, small blue eyes, is wearing a plain dirty white dress with a faded red cloth that is tied up by her neck to hide her features runs out of the farthest house toward me. From appearance I’m guessing twenty or eighteen but i could be wrong.

She scoops me up and continues to run away from the village into the woods. She runs behind a tree sits down and holds me out then she starts crying. She starts talking to me but I can’t hear her over the screaming and fire from the village behind her.

She takes her finger and puts it to my mouth and says “Shhhhhhhh they will hear us.” The screaming is going down so I could finally hear her. I go quiet and look at her. Then I or the baby starts to pee and it leaks out onto her hand but she still is looking at me still crying.

Crack! The girl looks to her right shocked then gets up and holds me closely. She finds a little place in the ground, puts me down and covers me part way in cloth from her dress pocket. I notice she has blood on her hand which was not there before putting her hand in her pocket.

“Goodbye Koe.” She said softly, smiling with tears running down her face at me. Then she kisses me on the forehead then covers me all the way but I can still a little since it's a little short on my left side. She is walking away and a guy jumps at her, but misses falls and slides toward me but he doesn’t notice me.

The guy is tall and muscular but doesn’t have a shirt on but he has a leather strap with a place to store spears on the back of the leather strap with a spear in it. He has brown or orange hair and has a big rough mustache that covers his mouth but I can't tell because of the fire. His eyes are dark brown and, he is wearing green jeans with a belt.

He looks at the girl and gets up and turns toward her. The girl reaches her hand in her pocket and keeps it there. If I was sitting upright the girl would be on my left and the tall man would be on my right.

The man positions himself in a fighting stance with his spear in hand. The girl also gets in a fighting stance but then the girl says something that I can't make out and the man replies back something. They start talking but I can’t hear any of it since the screaming has gone up again.

During the conversation they don’t waver or move. It was like they were stuck in their fighting stance. Then the man makes his move and throws his spear at her.

She pulls my dagger from her pocket and swings it to make a block. “Blo---AHHHHHH!” she screamed in pain looking at the spear logged into her heart. She falls to the ground and looks at me with her eyes, the eyes of someone dying. “Survive Koe, live to stop these people.” she whispers looking at me. But I do not know who these people are so how am I going to stop them I always think. Then the dream ends.
