Cold Skin {ON HOLD}

II

The chains around my wrist crackles as the cage I am into moves across and hits each and every stone in the path. I didn't know where they were taking us. Yes,us ! I had been accompanied by 3 girls.

The one with small hair, was a blonde . She looked very young, barely to call her a women. She had blue eyes, crystal clear skin . She wore pretty torn clothes. The girl looked starved, as if she hadn't eaten in many days . So does the other two girls. They both are brunette. Both had a pair of most captivating eyes I had ever seen. I was actually feeling quite envious of how all three of them were so pretty and beautiful in their own way.

"Do you know where are they taking us ?" I asked them. Looking at the surroundings, I couldn't get any idea which part of the country we were in . I hope where we go, it lead me far away from my village. Anything would be better than to be sacrificed by my own father infront of the whole village, people I grew I up with. People who should love me and that they do. I couldn't live in such evil atmosphere.

Whatever life brings, I would gladly accept it with open arms. We entered the borders of a kingdom . The walls were huge .I haven't seen walls this higher in my file . We were accompanied by other 2 carvans as we entered the reign one by one.

All four of us started to look around. Inside the walls was all mud and dirt. It seemed they have battled a heavy rain. I didn't know anything about the atmosphere of there area of the continent but atleast now I know , it rains alot. I intent to acquire more knowledge here if I am able to . The two brunette started to whisper in their ear. I was obviously curious to know what they talked about.

The gates were gaurded by many soldiers, they all wore black armours with smears and sheilds with there hand. They had swords accord there waist, tied up tightly. All of them looked heavy duty. One of the soldier, who stood beside our cage, hit one of the brunette on the back with the spear. The girl was wounded badly. The man that hit her felt no remorse, he went back where he stood.

The other girl tore the fabric of here left over skirt, and compressed the area of the wound to stop the healing. Since I was in the Coventry I know a bit of healing. We all were taught how to heal the wounds like cuts since they usually ended up shedding blood after the magic.

I wanted to help the girl desperately but taking in the environment around us , I knew the soldier's would hurt me too if I made a move. By this time I know they lacked any emotions and we weren't to talk to make any movements.

The locks were broken and the chains were smears in a large bowl .
" Get out ! Your flight bitches " the same man to hurt the girl roared at us . All of us looked at each other , it was a debate who would go first. A moment passed , a sudden jerk felt through my body . I adruptly hit the muddy ground. The impact was brutal and honestly I was sure , my knee would be displaced. Another hit , I fell again on my face as I tried to stand up. This time , the soldier kicked me on my back. I trembled , my eyes went blur and water pooled in them .

I tried to get up again, when somebody held by waist and aided me to stand. I didnt know who it was . But I was sure, from the harshness of the helping hand, it was one of the soldier.

My knee was actually displaced , I had to do something quickly.. With the soreness and pain all across my body , I stood in the line that they girls have formed.

" Are we going to die " I heard a trembling voice behind me . I was too week by this time to look who I was . Even if I was , I would dare to.

" May god have mercy on us , child. ", An old wavy voice responded . ", The king might take you for his slave if he liked " she added.

I was afraid to the core by the time . The line moved forward..I couldn't describe the intensity of the pain I felt and the fact that it radiated all across the leg. My wrists started to redden by this time due to the constant force by the chains through the line .

It's been dusk, I reached here at dawn . I cannot imagine how much longer we have to be in the line. After sometime , the line would stop and it took ages to start moving ahead. By this time , I knew I didn't have the capacity to stand. I needed to rest to bad. I already began to think about the consequences of living the village. Stockholme was my home . I loved the people there.

I didn't know where destiny was taking me, all I knew by this time ,.it was not far away from salvery and butchery. I lifted by face to see what was ahead of me, to where does the line ended. To my surprise, where were only few girls left ahead.

I took a sigh of relief, I desperately needed some shelters. I felt suffocated beneath the huge sky . It was as if I was engulfing me minutes after minute.

The tower was huge. There were less number of soldiers. I saw a man who wore a silver armour, he didn't has the spear or sheild with him but his sword in his hand. One could easily see the redfish tinge it casted on this edge. I was afraid to my core.

Where they about to kill us . I didn't wanted to die not after i escaped by village . Did God wanted me dead afterall . It seemed there was no way I could live now.

I saw the man, in silver armour coming towards us. He looked directly in my eyes and I could see my death approaching me . I didn't close my eyes, but I wanted to face it like a brave girl.
