Looking Forward

Chapter Nine - Angela

Me and Jean traveled to a castle which he said he knew. Suddenly knights in black armor formed from nothing and we ended up killing a group of bandits. It had been several months after that when we heard a loud horn in the middle of the night. Kyros had found the castle and brought an army to kill us. The battle began between his soldiers and our knights but it was lasting a lot longer than anyone wanted. I had geared up in a new set of armor and weapons and was now in charge of a group of the soldiers. These knights carried daggers and greatswords instead of the regular swords that all the others had. We had made great progress in fighting back against the attackers. We were out at night fighting the soldiers off. I ducked and slashed, cutting through the enemy forces. The already red sand had been soaked in the blood of soldiers. One of the men ran at me, I ducked under his blade and swung mine at his legs. They flew from his body leaving him on the ground. I stepped on his chest and thrusted my sword in. It was all going well until me and my men saw Kyros. He was staring at us with two big men next to him. The men ran at us. They were strong and fast. It took all of my men just to take down one of them. The other ran at me and hit me with the back of his hand. I was thrown back and I felt my breath leave my body. I tried to stand up but the man swung his big axe and sliced my gut. If he had been any closer he would have cut me in half. I felt intense pain and I felt blood gushing. He grabbed me by my neck and slammed me into the ground. I spat out blood and felt my body going numb. I reached for my sword and slammed the hilt into his head. He stumbled back and I unsteadily stood up. He rushed at me but I pushed into him and thrusted my blade into his heart. He fell to the ground and I saw that all of my soldiers were dead. I pulled out my sword and held my stomach with my hand. I stumbled towards Kyros and pointed my sword at him. He walked towards me and his eyes flickered with blue lights. It seemed as though he teleported from how fast he moved. He practically appeared in front of me and grabbed me by the neck. I groaned in pain as he grabbed my sword. He turned the blade around and raised his hand. His hand went down and my vision went dark. Then suddenly a blast of white light surrounded me. I was in a white void. There was no sound, no smells, and no feelings. It was just white space.
