A waltz under the willow tree (ON GOING)

Escape

There were other kids here...well of course there were! It's an auction, they're gonna need more than two kids. I stopped and look down and I saw that the person who had grabbed my dress was a ten-year-old just like me. She had Bright Blue hair and Deep Red eyes, that reminded me of rubies.

"P-please don't leave us!" She says she's trembling and scared..."P-please, don't..." She looks at me, I look towards Shaka.

"Sha-" I say but the thundering sound of marching cuts me off.

"We don't have time!" Shaka says, "Come on!"

"Shaka we can't leave them here!" I shout after him grabbing a small pebble from the stone floor and hurling it at him as if it were a baseball. Honestly, I didn't know if we would be able to save all of them, and I didn't know if this was even a good idea but I could leave all of these kids here alone to get sold off like non-living things.

"HEY! You saw how long it took to just to free ourselves!"

"IT ONLY TOOK YOU A MINUTE!" I shout flinging another rock at his head and hitting his forehead.

"ALRIGHT FINE I"LL DO IT!" He says opening his hand. A flame growing in his palm, as he walks back from the end of the corridor. "I saw some weapons over there..." He says a bit annoyed as he points over to a wall.

"Thank you Shaka!" I say running off in the direction he pointed. Turning a corner I was met with the beautiful sight of A wall with swords, shields, bows, EVEN GUNS! There were chests of daggers and boxes of ammo. "Th-this is PARADISE!" I say noticing a leather bag. Grabbing it I go to town with grabbing, ammo, daggers, arrows, and whatnot, They even had bottles of poison! I strap a dagger on each of my legs under the skirt of my dress, along with a handgun. Grabbing a sword my eyes sparkle as they look it up and down. It looked like a Miao Dao from the real world. A Chinese sword, it had the shape of a katana and could be used with one or two hands. In my old world...earth they were used for close combat and the execution of prisoners of war. I put it back in its sheath. I look around, I've only been in here for a few minutes so I look around and notice twin swords.

"This is awesome!" I say grabbing them as well. I see a desk in the corner, opening it I find a map a bag of gold coins, and an old notebook.

"LANI THE GUARDS!" I hear Shaka shout, along with the voices of the guards shouting. "GET THEM!" or "THEY'RE ESCAPING!" I grab everything and put them in my bag. The twin swords in one hand and the Miao Dao in the other. I run over and see the soldiers run in our direction. I see the girl with blue hair run over to me.

"H-hey could I help?" She says looking at the swords I have in my hands. I just look at her and smile handing her the Miao Dao. She smiles and nods, her eyes sparkling as she pulls it out of its sheath. Shaka runs over, panting out of breath.

"W-what have you been doing this whole time!?" He shouts as he points over to two unconscious guards. "We got attacked and the process got slowed down!" He shouts and honestly, he has a pretty good reason to be annoyed. I did take maybe around five minutes in there grabbing sh*t.

"Sorry..." I say feeling a bit sorry, but not a lot because it's not my fault we were captured in the first place! "Anyways..I found these!" I say handing the bow and arrows to him and he just stares at it.

"And what am I supposed to do with this..?" He asks looking at it skeptically.

"You said you specialize in Nature and wind magic! And I'm pretty sure you said that it's best to use a weapon to strengthen your magic! So a bow should work best out of all the weapons in there!" I say pushing them closer to him. He just stands there clueless. "You know how to use it right...?" I say looking at him as a shadow seems to cover his face.
