As your ears became more aware of the noises, you could distinguish the crashes outside. Then it stopped as soon as the thing arrived to the door and the monster scratched it. It made a screeching noise but you still managed to keep your posture.  You winced as the screeching continued but you stood in position.

Now the thing’s claw penetrated the door-which is quite thick, once it went through the door, within seconds said doors clashed on the floor in pieces. The thing stood in-front of you, and now you could also see teeth, long and sharp teeth. The thing’s mouth was closed but its teeth protruded since they were too fit to fit in its mouth. Saliva-a lot of it dripped from its mouth and it growled at you when its eyes landed on you.

You swallowed  getting a nice grip on the sword. As the thing moved, so did you. Its claw slashed as you and as you moved to the side and the claw collided with the bed, you were more than happy that you actually had removed the gown. That is the main reason you hated those monsters, they did not let you move as you liked.

The sword moved in your hands as if it was an extension on your body and it moved fluently but as it clashed on the creäture’s arm, it made a noise. The skin must be as hard as a shied for there was no damage. The creature swing its claw removing the sword but you jumped to the back so that you would have some space between the two of you.  Since now you were close to the exit, you would have to get out of the room, despite being spacious, it would be dangerous for your parents if you fought the creäture inside it.

The creature didn't hesitate to follow you and you could only grin. Now that the creature was outside, you halted and turned around. The creature ran quite fast so you has to be fast as well. Withing a few slashes, you managed to give a nice and long cut on the creature’s head. It hissed and stumbled back, you took this opportunity and as in instinct and experience, you knew that if you wanted to make a fatal flow, it would have to be in the middle of the creature’s body. Now, instead of holding a position made to slash the creature, you pointed the sword and pushed your arm forward and plunged the creature in the chest. It went through the animal’s chest and as soon as you retreated your weapon, black liquid oozed from the wound. That was certainly not was surprised you, it was the fact that as the creature stopped moving, its body just...became sashes.

“ Princess [Name]!” Someone yelled and from the heavy breathing, he fought his way through a crowd of creatures.  Once he reached you, he eyed you to make sure that you were unharmed.”My apologies, I should have come earlier. It was not my intention of--” he was about to continue but you only waved your hand in dismissal. 

“Eh, it’s fine.” Then you became serious and frowned.”And stop calling me princess, just call me [Name].” 

The male-who is Warrior of Light- nodded.” As you please.”

“[Name]!” More voices called your name and they too seemed breathless.

As they came into view, you noticed Balthier,Reno,Gippal,Zack,Cloud,Kain, Firion and Cid running to your aid. You only rolled your eyes.” You disappoint me Reno,Gippal and Baltheir. Have some faith in me, man!” 

It was supposed to be a joke and usually they would laugh but not now, they looked very serious.”The heartless were sent to kill you, don’t joke with that yo’” Reno scolded you as if you were a mere child. And another roll of your eyes.
