The Weak And Helpless (Yona of the dawn)

Running Away

The two men looked at me with surprised faces looking between me and the bushes. I held my hand out toward the two angrily scowling at them. "Give. Me. The. Bottle." I ordered sternly. The guard smirked finding my sudden forcefulness amusing. "Um, Sodao? Do you know who this child is?" The other man asked looking worriedly at me. "Yes I do, this nosey brat is the stupid Lord's little pet. And from the rumors going around she's got a colorful background." The guard replied ignoring me.

I winced at his words. What the hell does he know? "Give me the bottle!" I demanded angrily causing both Sodao and the other man's eyes to flicker toward me. Sodao laughed at me his hand going to his sword slowly removing it from it's sheath. "Make me." He chuckled pointing the blade at me lazily. My scowl only deepens at his actions.

I did nothing for a solid minute trying to evaluate what would be the best thing to do when the sword was sent hurtling at me. Letting out a squeak of surprise I ducked feeling the air shift above me. The sword them retreated back to its smirking owners side. "You dogged!?" He cried happily a look of excitement crossing his face.

"Maybe there's more to you then what meets the eyes!" Sodao continued. Taking an other playful swing at my head. My hands hurriedly trailed my dress and I pulled out the first dagger that grazed my fingers using it to block the sword wincing under the mans strength. A hysterical laugh escaped Sodoa's lips as he watched me.

"Aaaaaaawwwwww?! I didn't know the Lords pet carried a dagger!" He stated examining my dagger which had been my yellow one. His eyes lingered on the small ball of gold that laid between the blade and handle. "That wouldn't by chance be real gold would it?" He asked greedily. I give a furious glare putting all my strength into my dagger and pushing him back.

I was about to attack the  guard when the other man who I had forgotten about suddenly grabbed the back of my dress pulling me toward him so he could raise a dagger to my throat one of his hands rapped around me to keep me in place. At the cold touch of the dagger I stiffened my breath hitching in surprise.

Panicking I struggled to keep my breathing normal. "Don't move an inch." The man clutching me ordered as Sodao walked toward me his sword raised. Reaching us he placed the end of his sword lightly onto my chest right where my heart was. The touch of the sword alone caused my heart to thump wildly the shattering sound filling my ears.

"What do we do with her? We can't let her go and tell the others about our plan?!" The man clutching me asked hurriedly clearly unsure of what to do. Sodao scowled at him as if the answer was simple. "That's easy, we kill her." He explained looking at his parter with narrowed eyes waiting for objections. None came. As I heard this I couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably. Kill me?!

Panic rose in my chest as I looked down at the sword aimed at my heart the man holding me lowered his dagger from my throat as Sodao prepared to stab me. Suddenly the sword was knocked from Sodao's hands landing to the ground with a loud clatter. Looking to my right I saw Roku holding a dagger of his own an angry glare in his eyes as he grabbed my hand quickly and hurriedly throwing the dagger at Sodao.

The dagger landed in his shoulder causing the giant of a soldier to cry out in pain. Taking this opportunity Roku ran dragging me with him. My head was spinning as I tried to process what happened. I repeated what took place in my head trying to clear my thoughts. A guard was trying to kill Soo-Won with poison. I stepped in and tried to stop them, my life got threatened.

Roku saved me and now we're running. Even hearing the past events didn't feel right. It felt surreal like it was happening to someone else. I never imagined something like this would happen to me.
