camp

Vera's POV:

As we rode to camp various soldiers turned and looked up at me, wonder and confusion in their eyes.As i focused more on the group of people i am now traveling with instead of stalking they looked as if they were about to go into a fight. Their armor was not damaged and there was no blood on them so they couldn't have come from a fight and all their weapons were shinned and looked deadly, as i thought this over i wondered who they were going after. The Turks do not travel in this area unless they are to fight with the surrounding villages and that hasn't happened in over twenty years.When i finally came back from my thoughts i realized that we were no longer in the forest, there was an open plain in front of us that was covered by hundreds of tents and there must be thousands of men.The tents were diverse in color, some red some yellow, blue, and some green, as we traveled through the camp the soldiers started to walk out of their tents and stared at me and the man i was ridding with. It was then i realized that my hood was down and that my black hair was waving in the slight wind,but the men's eyes did not stray when i pulled my hood up to cover my face and hair and i kept my head down the entire trip to the large tent we where headed to. As we reached the large tent the man got off first then helped me off, when we walked inside there were men surrounding a table and talking quietly to one another but it all stopped when we stepped in."Mehmed hello sir" one of the men spoke up, "leave me please i have to have a conversation with someone, i will explain later to who this is." as the men walked out each one had their eyes on me watching me as if i would hurt the man in front of me.Once all the men were gone, i guess 'Mehmed' , lead me to a small table that only contained two seats to it and seated me in one and he in the other."what is your name?" Mehmed asked me once we had both sat down,"You answer me first and i shall tell you" when i said that the man looked shocked that i did not know his name."My name is Mehmed the conqueror and now what is yours", after awhile at just looking at the man i finally answered him "Vera, my name is Vera there is no last name for i have forgot it,". After i said that Mehmed seemed even more interested than he was before, " how old are you Vera if you do not mind me asking," " i am very old Mehmed, older than i look and feel" at that information Mehmed looked as if he had found a diamond in the dessert but he kept a wicked smile on his face."What are you Vera?" i felt as if he knew the answer to that question so i simply replied with" you know that answer and I know what you want me for."that answer didn't seem to shock him at all and the only reply i got was " and what do think my reason is Vera". I looked around the tent after that was said and realized that the window next to the table had a view of the troops and a that i looked back at the man " you want me to fight with your soldiers.", Mehmed just looked at me with a smile and said "will you fight alongside my soldiers then Vera, i will give you anything you want in return for your loyalty". This man didn't even look desperate for me or that he would beg so i nodded to him signifying that i will fight for him and told him that i would not need anything for fighting with him which looked as if that surprised him but none the less he smiled at me. " welcome my favorite soldier all you will need to do is obey me and anything else you are free" after he said this he stuck out his hand and at first my cold blue eyes just starred until i stood with him and shook his hand." do not disrespect me mehmed i will not hesitate to kill you and your army" Mehmed still had his smile on even after the statement left my lips " as long as you fight darling Vera". At this Mehmed took my hand and lead me ouside the tent and called attention to his soldiers.
