Mysteries of the Heart

The Rescue!

Zhosa's P.O.V.

The carriage slowly rolled to a halt and I grit my teeth as the sound of heavy boots hit the ground.

That was not a good sound.

The man who called himself my father approached the cage and I spat on him. He would not use my abilities against the world. I would never allow it.

I backed away from the bars as quickly as my broken body would allow. The man was furious with me. His brown eyes flaming on their own.

"You can't defy me forever daughter." He sneered. "You can only prolong the inevitable. You will use your gift to serve me."

I shook violently words refusing to form. I could never bring harm to the Assassins. They never harmed me or Fanteriso.

The Templar's on the other hand, were dangerous fanatics. They were willing to do anything for the sake of their beliefs. That included the slaughter of my mother.

y mouth pressed into a firm line I bit my tongue. There was no way I would let this man abuse my gift. He killed my mother, I could never forgive him for such a horrendous act.

"Don't cry Zhosa." He spat the venom in his tone cutting to the bone. "Tears never were a good look for you or your mother."

I screamed my rage launching myself at the bars between us. "I'll kill you!" I howled "Altair and Fanteriso will find me. They will help me kill you!"

The sound of pounding hoof beats brought me back to my senses, I withdrew to the back of the cage fearful of who or what was coming towards us.
