This is fan-freakingtastic!

I slide behind a hollow log, my palms and knees burning.

Son of a-

I look down to see that my clothes now are even more torn and now they are getting bloody. My palms are also coved up in cuts and bleeding.

"Damn, I've fudged up... maybe I should have listened to, Erik." I pad down my pockets in a moment of worry but then I feel the cold touch of the blade against my fingers and I sigh in relief.

I pull the blade from my pocket and examine it, it was Ara's blade, her favorite blade. And I was hoping that I wouldn't have to use it.

Three weeks ago.

The night is still with the few accessions of the guards walking the perimeter of the castle as usual. I nod at the few that do pass me on my way towards the entrance. I try and not to be nervous but I am certain that they could smell my fear.

I make it to the door and take a breath, trying to take out one of the wolves was a task that I didn't want to face.

Suddenly I hear footsteps approaching.

I turn to see Ara stepping out of the shadows.

"Bella..."

"You're not going to sneak out making this much noise and you reek of nervousness." she says approaching me, a shawl of some sort pulled around her shoulders.

I chuckle nervously. "Noticed that, huh?"

"How could you not?" She stops in front of me, her black hair glinting in the moonlight and for the first time her hair was loose and she didn't have her eye patch on, one section of her hair covering that eye. "I heard about your plan and it looks as if you're going to do something stupid."

I smile. "Concerned about me are we?"

I see a slight blush color her cheeks as she faces away from me. "What gave you that ridiculous notion..." she sighs and then turns back towards me. "I'm just trying to stop you from doing something that could be potentially hazardous to your health."

"Ah ha! So you are concerned!" I tease.

She slightly glares and then pulls something from under neath her shawl, the blade glimmering coldly in the night light. "If you have to go, at least take this with you."

I look at it, this was her own personal weapon, one I had never seen her part with for anything.

She shakes it impatiently.

I take it gently. "Are you sure? I've never seen you part with this weapon of all the days you've been here." I look at the intricacy put into the detail of the blade swirling lines and flowers engraved on it. The hilt is rapped in leather and worn but obviously kept with great amount of care.

"It was my mother's..." She says.

I hold it back towards her. "I can't take this."

She comes closer to me and closes my hand tighter around it, both of her hands around mine. "It's to make sure that you come back, since you have it you'll have to come back or I'll hunt you down."
