Freedom

Chapter 49

"Can this horse go any faster?" I ask

"We are almost there, don't worry" Asher assures me by patting my head.

"Keep your eyes peeled for enemies" Philip voice echos through the air as we rode on our horses. Philip was okay front of us, while we were following behind.

"Enemies? I thought it was only my dad that's causing trouble?" I say, hopefully loud enough for him to hear.

"Your father has some Allies"

"So- so there are people helping him?"

"Yes, now just keep your eyes peeled"

"O-okay" I reply nervously. How are they gonna appear? How will they attack us? "Ash"

"Yeah Angel?" I could feel the breath of his as he talks, making shivers go down my spine.

"Are you scared?"

"I was-" he thinks for a moment. "- but there's nothing to be scared about now"

"Oh"

"Are you?" He asks

"Yeah.. a little" I admit

"That's normal scar, don't worry, I'm here with you" He laughs softly and kisses the back of my head.

I let out a breath. "Thank you"

"Stop" Philip commands and Asher pulls our horse back.

"Ph-

"Shh" He hushes me and gets off his horse. We did the same but I had to have some help coming off the horse.

I look at Asher worriedly and he just smiles at me. I have no idea what is happening. We have just reached the entrance of the town but his not letting us go further in.

To my horror the sound of an arrow passes by my ear and straight it goes into the tree trunk, making both the horses frightened and they all run away.

"Shit, come on" Asher pulls me behind a tree and Philip rushes to us.

"Follow me but don't say a word, understand?"

I nod vigorously understanding that I need to zip my mouth teh entire time. Asher holds my hands as well follow him. We walked incredibly fast but quiet. It was almost like we were ninjas of something.

Philip was Incredible. His sense of hearing is far away from what a human would have. I don't even think his human.

"Stop it Johnson" I hear my mothers voice, making me gasp in shock but quickly slap my mouth with my hand. Hopefully no one heard me. I Can't see anything as we were currently hiding behind a house.

"What now love? You don't appreciate this anymore?" Johnson says in a mocking tone.

Madeline POV

" What now love? You don't appreciate this anymore?"
"Hmm?"

" Of course I don't and I never meant to have this much attention" I spit. "You are getting attention the wrong way, everyone is going to hate you"
"Quit Johnson, don't make me fight"

"You? Fight me?" He laughs loudly, wiping his tears away. "You?? Fight?" He repeats mockingly.

I pick up a small knife from my pocket and threw it pass his face, so fast he didn't even notice. He stops laughing and notices blood dripping down his face.

"Not laughing anymore now huh?"

"I knew you were always a little shit" he becomes angry and picks his sword coming to me.
