Shadows of Ash- Re-writing!!

Chapter Four

How am I going to escape this cell? I wondered to myself as the guards change their shift.

"Hey when do I get my food?" I asked the new guards. Both of these ones had full face helmets.

"Never..." He laughed nonchalantly. What?!

"...What!?" I said and got up, walked over to the bars and got in the helmet face of the guard through the cell bars.

"You herd me!" He said and turned back around" "We're counting on it." The guards words replayed in my head. I need to get out. Now I have a plan... And it involves the guard shift.

*******

He took a deep breath, " I..I'm... Move!" he said in an urgent tone and I didn't know what for so I turned around and surely there was an Iron Wolf.

"I'm not a bad guy. I came to give the lady her clothes and weapons." He said. Sure enough, he had my clothes in his hand. I took them and gave him a look of confusion.

"Don't ask, please." he said and then ushered us out of the hay pile and toward another back alley.

"Go I'll distract them for as long as I can." he said.

"Why?" I asked him but he was already gone.

"Let's go. He gave us an opportunity to escape, best not to waste it." I heard yelling behind us as we left the city.

"I know of a camp that we can stay in, but there is a resident.." I said and walked into the forest. "Wait how do I know I can trust you?"

"I saved your life, you owe me." He said. I sighed and motioned him to follow me.

*******

"I don't know the exact location." I said as we continued walking through the forest.

"So you're leading us to nowhe-" he was cut off by me dragging him to a tree and motioning for him to go up. As he went so did I and then Hadrin walked under us.

"I herd you! Come out!" He yelled. I looked at the masked man before telling him to stay as I dropped on top of Hadrin and knocked him out with the hilt of my dagger.

"Come down we need to bind him!" I yelled up and the man dropped down. We walked in the direction of which he came and set I him down at his camp fire and walked over to the masked man who was by the horses.

"We need to talk." I told him.

"About what?" He said while stroking the grey mare that was tied up.

"You." I said and he looked at me and sighed.

"My name is Sam. I.. I.. umm.." He took off his hood and mask and pulled it down so I could see his neck, it had a white and black wolf, while he had shaggy brownish red hair, eyes that seemed to be shifting between blue and red. He had a strong jaw line and hard facial features that looked sad in some way, his eyes seemed lifeless when they were blue, but were full of fire when red.

"WHat is tha-" then it hit me that all of the Iron Wolves that had no helmets had this signa. He was an Iron Wolf. I quickly whipped out my dagger and pointed it at his face.

"Tell me one reason that I should not kill you!" I said in an agree tone. His face then looked worried, and his eyes blue.

"I.. I can explain!" He said and tried to move the dagger away but I held it firmly in place.

"Then please, elaborate on you're being a spy for the Iron Wolves." I growled at him.

"I'm not! I'm not I promise. I.. " he sighed and then looked exhausted before talking again" You won't believe me if I tell you."

"Try me." I said. He sighed

"Fine but I'm telling you now that you won't believe me. I can barely remember anything from before I woke up in this forest a few years ago. I wandered around and then found a camp, much like this, with a family who had a hunted son named Draco. The lady said not to tell anybody and go to the village nearby to get some new spices that weren't in the woods. As I went into the village i saw a wanted poster for the boy and a few others with a reward of being an Iron Wolf and some gold. I.. was selfish and decided to betray the family. I didn't tell them where they were exactly but I did say they were in the woods. I hunted a few others before I realized what they were doing to the ones found. When they found the boy, they killed his mother and then left a note before the father could wake up." He said and then looked sad a again. Draco, this is who messed up this family. But what really caught my attention was the fact that he didn't remember anything either.

"Whats up with your eyes?" I asked him. At first he looked shocked and then, slowly, went back to his normal sad looking face.

"The ritual to become an Iron Wolf is to take the blood of one of the dead Hunted and then drink it. I got the blood of a Very powerful bloodbound. So now, I need the other half of me because I'm slowly letting the blood control my actions. I normally have blue eyes but, when I'm mad.. I just lose control of myself." After he said that, both of our eyes went wide and I passed out.

*******

When I woke up I was watching a little girl running around with a little boy that looked like Sam. then as I looked at the little girl, I saw that she had one yellow eye and one silver looking eye, with strawberry colored hair, Me and Sam. There was a house in the distance but it wasn't to far away. The little kids were running towards the woods and then out of nowhere a man wearing all black injected both of us with this red serum. I screamed and then blacked out, while Sam looked at the man and then back at me. He looked torn between us and then went to me and sat down yelling for somebody. When he saw a woman coming he went to the man. The man grunted and left with the vile and Sam.

*******

When I woke up Sam was above me and I think I was on one of the cots. When I groaned because my head hurt he looked at me with a relief filled face.

"Oh thank God you're awake." He said. How long was I out? I groaned.

"For a week and maybe a few days." He said while messing with a bump on my head. I gasped.

"Did that hurt?" He asked. No but if you can here me, i'm not talking. He went from my head to my face.

"What do you mean?" This. His eyes widening. There was then a loud thump and Sam ran out of the tent. My head still hurt so it took me longer to get up and go over to him. Before I left the tent I changed into my normal assassin clothes. When I got out I saw that Sam and Hadrin fighting.

"Stop!" I yelled which really hurt my head. I held it in my hand as they both got up and glared daggers at each other. Sam looked at me and walked over to me.

"Are you OK?" He asked. I nodded my head.

"What in the world is going on out here?" I asked them and then they started yelling at the same time.

"This guy had the nerve-"

"Well he started to-"

"To come here and then-"

"Run up to the tent-"

"He came out of MY-"

"And started to fight-"

"Tent so I tackled-"

"Me so I defended-"

"Him and then you came out."

"Myself and then you came out."

I had no words to that. I walked away from them and went to the food place to get a bite to eat. I heard them start fighting again and shook my head as I ate some dried rabbit.

*******

I kept telling Hadrin i'm sorry for what I did. He just kept yelling that it was my fault that his wife was dead and that i'm the reason that Draco wasn't with Zero. Why would Draco be with her? Was Draco the new prisoner?
