The Assassin's Conquer (Book Two)

Chapter 5- Ryia

I had hit my sister. Tears were streaming down my cheeks uncontrolably. Simon was right I was more of a monster than any of them, even him. I shoved some clothes into a pack, walked over to my balcany, and jumped my eyes blured with tears as I walked to the stables. Monster, it was the only thing that could describe me. Bad things always follow me. Screams of so many voices burrowed their way like a knife into my heart.

Now I had finally done I made the people who I most loved in this world despise me. My, my just how broken have I become? Taking out and sadling one the beautifull black stallions I used a knife to pin a letter to the wall, one I had written eaerlier incase the time came that I had to leave this place. It was written to Alexandria, Terrin, Rowan, and Aaron, though I doubt they will bother reading it now.

Mounting the stallion I gave one last look at the castle. Tears strolled down my cheeks as I tore my gaze away from the castle and rode off merely a shadow in the night. I rode endlessly until the sun had risen far above the horizon I made it to a small village were I sold the stallion and bought two peasent dresses and an old cloak along with some food and a water container. I then set out walking into the woods in no particular direction.

The forest grew thicker with every step and soon enough I was wonderfully, completely and blissfully lost. With no one to look for me I was insanely alone, and yet free. Two things I'd never been and thus feared. I thought of the look of revulsion on Terrin's face. If he had known what I'd done before would his face resemble that or would he merely back away with a look of fear and disgust on his face.

That was a look I knew well. Whenever anyone found out about me they always had the same expression their faces along with their screams act like bullet wounds that can't be closed. Life took quite the cruel turn for me this time though. All those I love most and wish nothing more than to be near them hate me and wish never to see me again. While the one I hate above all others loves me and can see me whenever I sleep.

I sighed. Curling up on a warm rock I twist my cloak around me and let sleep win. I was so lonely that even Simon's company was better than no one's. Looking around this time I was in a different room one with gorgeous marble walls that closed in like a dome. I was in a tea room. How peculiar, I despise tea.

Simon entered with a bright smile on his face. "So what happened, anything good enough to report on. Did they find out your dark secret or were you thrown out for some other reason. Was it Terrin? Does he hate you hate you now?". "Terrin does hate me but they don't know about that" I muttered sadlySimon looked at me eyes wide. "That is it you are now my favorite subject everything is always changing with you Ryia".

I smiled bitterly "I'm glad at least someone gets joy out of it". "Now, now lets not be so poisonous dear. I just can't help it your life is as crazy as a novel, maybe even better" Simon said watching me intently. "Well, I supose I can't keep you here forever, my time's up good bye Ryia". My eyes opened with a start. I was still in the same place but the feeling of loneliness hit me like a plague.

I held my chest as I sat down again. I wondered what they were up to at the castle and did they all decide to let me go or were they bent on revenge? 'It doesn't matter anymore' I thought they'll never find me. As for me I'll never find myself either.
