Role Reversal

*CHAPTER 2*

" You shall attack at my command!" King Alfric ordered.

Everyone responded with a 'Yes Sire' however, the king himself wasn't concentrating. Instead, he was looking at the beauty of his dreams, Cordilia May Hopkins. Her beautiful sangria hair reached her petite waist in voluminous curls. How he wished to run his fingers through that soft hair. He envied the rain touching her skin. He envied the wind wafting through her hair. He envied the mare she sat on. He envied the men sitting on the horses beside her. He envied everything that surrounded her, consumed her, grazed her.

They still had fifteen minutes left. King Alfric was still gazing at Cordilia, waiting for her to turn around and look at him in the same manner. As if answering his prayers, her head tilted towards his direction ever so slowly. She smiled at him. However that one smile held many emotions.

Passion

Guilt

Pain

Love

Although her eyes were holding back unshed tears, he knew that she was a brave warrior. She will survive this battle. His future queen will not give up so easily. If it weren't for his wretched father, Flavious Night, this war would not be taking place. The maggot pie destroyed his dream, his life.

Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap

Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap

The unexpected sound of hooves crashing against the rough soil, disturbed his haunting thoughts and brought him back to the cruel reality of life. Cordilia was now focusing on the upcoming horde. The opposing kingdoms army seemed much stronger than King Alfric's army. He could see that his army seemed intimidated.

"Assemble up, my troops and stay in your positions. Remember how we planned this attack. The opposing army maybe stronger but we are more clever. Remember, wit always overtakes strength. Think twice before you make your move. I have given you enough training, make good use of it. Even the weakest soldier would survive if he knows how to use his sword." He said glancing towards Marius. "Keep this in mind and......ATTACK!" The king yelled in his powerful, strong voice.The short speech seemed to provide the motivation because his soldiers moved forward with a new-found determination.

Cordilia was leading one of the troops. She was so agile. The way she controlled her sword was impeccably perfect. No female warrior could ever top her.

There were cries of pain everywhere...

The sound of flesh being ripped apart...

The smell of fresh, raw blood splaying around...

Severed heads and limbs decorated the surface of the vengeful soil. An array of red danced in front of his piercing blue eyes. The cumulonimbus clouds casted dark shadows against ground. Everything seemed bizarre.

The king decided he should make a move. He managed to kill his opponents with ease. It all seemed fine until he caught a glimpse of Cordilia. She was fighting the man strongly but suddenly the opponent managed to slice her arm like a fruit. Although Cordilia flinched, she murdered the soldier in one simple move.

While the king gazed at her lovingly, Cordilia caught his eyes with a stoic expression plastered across her face. With a perplexed expression, she started rushing towards him. Confused, the king turned his head around only to get murdered brutally.

"Noooooooooooo!" Samantha screamed.

"Miss Samantha? Are you alright? What happened?" A slightly familiar voice questioned, However she could not understand who was speaking.

A pairs of gruff hands, started to gently slap against her cheeks. The hands smelt like Cocoa butter. Wanting to inhale the scent more, she pressed her face against the palms of the person. At this the person removed their hand and questioned loudly.

"Samantha? Are you okay?" The voice boomed against her ears.

Immediately, She sat up straight and glanced across the room. Noticing Shawn, she looked at him sternly.

"What are you doing here?" She questioned rudely.
