Rise From Shadows

The Dream

[[[AN. Hey I'm back finally sorry for the break I just had writers block for dayyyyyzzzz anyways got a comment that asked a valid question and I hope that this chapter clears any confusion up} AN=Authors Note ]]]

I awoke to the sound of yelling, like always I look around and notice I'm still in my crappy little room in my crappy little house containing two people who are the bane of my existence.

I sigh while grabbing a cleanish red shirt off of the floor and mumbling to myself "Why do I even go to school" I quickly grab my bag and an apple and escape the house before my parents have a chance to do something to me.

As I walk to school I think to myself how amazing it would be to return to that fantasy world but that was just a dream.

As I cross the street to my high school I hear honking and turn towards bright headlights and screeching tires screaming as the car hurdles toward me

But I don't move, I don't move because I want to leave this world

I don't want to deal with this pain anymore......

I've lost my battle.

I close my eyes one last time as the car finally hits me and I feel nothing.

Blissful nothing.........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I quickly sit up and look around and am suprized to notice I am in that small room of that tavern

But I'm even more suprized to remember that I should be dead

I am interrupted from my thoughts by the barman knocking on my door and telling me to come work off my debt

As I grab the tray of the first days drinks and bring them to the few people who populated the tavern currently I wonder about that far away mountain that Lily spoke of and how long it will take me to get there

As the day wears on nothing interesting happens and the batman eventually says I can leave

As I exit the tavern and am about to leave this village with Lily until I see a poster with two terrifying words on it

BOUNTY, SLADE, WANTED ALIVE, REWARD OF 1000 GOLD COINS

While reading this I see several people watching me and mutter to myself

"I've done nothing how can this be?"

I turn to leave when I notice Lily is no where in sight

I sigh "I don't blame her for leaving."

As I head towards the exit I notice Lily standing there with a horse

"Why are you still here?" I ask her confused "I am a wanted man!"

She glances at me and coldly says "you seem to weak to be of any danger I shall guide you to the mountain sect"

When she says that I sadly nod and get onto the horse she then gets onto the back of it and quickly grabs my hand and pulls my onto it behind her.

As we head towards the large mountain we encounter no trouble but must stop halfway and set up camp.

I head off to look for firewood but upon returning I notice the fire is already started and glumly set the wood on the ground

I silently mutter to myself "is she better then me in all aspects?

We sit there silently staring into the fire until I slowly drift onto sleep as this happens I hope that this time it is not a dream

I feel like I am floating and open my eyes and see a beautiful women who seems to be sleeping

I feel an aura of danger and power eminating from her and wonder what this could be but I am taken away from my thoughts as I am jolted awake

As I look around I see we are sourounded by men

"Who are you people" I ask this worriedly

One of the men replies "You have a bounty on your head and will be coming with us!"

When I hear those words I shake on fear, I thought I could make it to the mountain before I was found.

While I'm asking this I see Lily is no where to be seen but do not mention her in hoped that she escaped.

As one of them aproaches me with a large axe I start to cry

"Why am I always so weak!"

Finally the man with the axe instead of beheading me like you would think he would do he grabs my hair and brings the sharp edge across my neck allowing me to slowly bleed out, as blackness swims at the edges of my vision,

I here someone in the distance shouting and listen closer

"LIVE ON SLADE!"

The moment I hear these words it's like something is set off within me, and undying will to live. I release a guttural shout as my vision turns red and fire surrounds me, more and more fire begins to spread and soon I lose consciousness.

As I awake I feel extremely tired and look around to see several burnt corpses, this terrifies me as I've never killed before and I begin to hyperventilate and pass out.
