Steph's Curse

Chapter 4

"Good morning!" William was loud.
"5 more minutes..." I was about to roll over when I remembered the previous day.
I was fully awake now.
"Let's get moving." I said sternly.
Get William and I down quickly and gently.
Soon, William and I were on the ground.
Show me the path to the nearest village. I immediately saw the path.
"Come on." I stated.
-------------------------------------------------------------
By noon, we made it to the village.
"We should find some where to stay for awhile. Some where cheap, that way we don't use all of our gold." I said finally.
We wandered around the village for a little while, but our walk was interrupted. Someone bumped into me, my hood fell from my face. I got a few looks but put my hood back on. I put my hand in a pocket when I realized the money was gone.
"Hey! Thief!" I chased after him, I was fast. So I quickly caught up. I realized William wasn't with me. I skidded to a stop.
I left the boy and ran back to where I last saw William. His cloak lied lifelessly on the ground. A rush of tears came quickly. They spilled on the cloak.
I picked up the cloak and a note fell. It said:
Well well, it looks like you got this message. We want 50 gold prices by tonight, or the cloak won't be the only thing lying lifelessly on the ground tonight.

My tears were falling on the paper, but not because of sadness, but of anger.
Where are the men? I thought. I saw them and started my way.
Will I reach them my nightfall, yes.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The sky was a deep crimson now, turning purple. Luckily, they were close by.
I ran towards the cave with no regret.
"Well, well. The little miss decided to show." The man laughed. He looked like he tried to be intimidating, ripped pants, vest only and a knife at his side. He also was big and bulky.
"Where's the money?" Another, more scawny man said. He was wearing a shirt and ripped shorts. His hands were fidgeting so it looked like he wanted to draw his knife.
"I don't have any, give me my friend or your as good as dead..." I tried to sound scary, but I was terrified.
Did they kill William? I saw William, he was chained to a wall.
"Give me my friend, or parish." I said.
"Oooh, tough girl." Bulky punched his hand. "Let's see what you got." He ran towards me.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. These men clearly don't know me or my story..." I swiped me hand and Bulky flew into a wall.
"Wow! I am getting more powerful!" I yelled with excitement.
"O-okay m-m-miss. You c-can take your f-friend. D-dont hurt m-me." Scrawny stuttered.
Memory wipe, I pointed my finger at scrawny and bulky.
"Who are you?" Scrawny asked.
"A force not to reckon with..." I walked away with William mysteriously.
-------------------------------------------------------------
By the time we made it back to the village, the sun decided to show up.
Then I saw a familiar face.
Thief...
I ran after him, making sure William was with me.
I must have followed him for awhile, the sun was fully visible.
Now I'm in a dead end alley with the boy.
"Give me my money." I told him.
"Trust me kid, if you knew what's best for you, you would give her the money." William said.
"No! I need this!" He cried.
"Get over here." I tried to say kindly.
He just looked at me like I had three heads.
"I said get over here." I said a little meaner.
He stood there. For the first time I actually got a good look at him. His hair was black with curls in it, and some mud. He has the most beautiful eyes, light green with orange. He was scrawny, but with some muddy muscles. His clothes were torn.
"Now!" I said coldly.
He ran over to me.
"Now give me the gold, before I count to three." I stated.
He looked ashamed.
"One.....Two.....Two and a half." I said.
"Here! Just take it!" He was in tears.
"Now, here. Don't be so upset." I gave him about ten gold coins.
"What?" He looked confused.
"You looked like you needed it. So I'm trying to be nice." I said kindly.
"Come with me..." The boy said.
"Care to at least tell us your name?" I asked.
"Oh, of course! I'm Kevin. Now, what are your names?" He asked.
"Steph-" William elbowed my stomach. I guess he just decided my name.
"We are Steph and Will. Nice to meet you." William said finally before we went with Kevin.
-------------------------------------------------------------
