The World of The Winged

The Attack

Chapter 8:

I heard a click of the bedroom door, it opened and Gure stepped inside. "Are you okay?" He asked, worried, I snickered "You're supposed to knock, you know?" I said with half a smile.

He frowned and looked me in the eyes. "Amelia. Just tell me." He said with a warning in his voice. I sighed, "I'm fine. But let's just leave it at that." I said with pleading eyes, he nodded and sat down next to me.

"Tonight's gonna be really awkward for me and Luke you know?" He said with a sigh. I chuckled and patted my hand next to me as if telling him to lay down. "Two guys in one bed, that's gotta be fun to see. Oh I wish I could see it." We laughed as he laid down next to me.

"Can't I stay with you tonight? It would be a lot less awkward for everyone, and two guys who're friends can sleep in the same bed. But two guys who clearly don't really like eachother, now that is awkward." He laughed.

I dared to look up at him, "You can, if you want to."  Gure looked down at me in surprise. "What?" The air around us had changed, it was tense and serious. "Y-you can stay with me... If you want to." I blushed and looked away.

I heard him curse under his breath as his face flushed, I laughed softly and pinched his cheek. "You're eighteen and yet, so adorable." I said, his eyes got a glint of misschieve in them as he sat up.

"Are you sure I'm that adorable?" I sat up to and slowly nodded while crawling away. He crawled towards me, "Are you very very sure?" His voice had a warning in them as a grin spread across his face.

I let out a nervous laugh and nodded when an arrow flew through the window and landed in between us.

I screamed in shock as Gure quickly pushed me off the bed and ran to the door with me behind him. He yelled for everyone to wake up and grab their gear as we ran to the living room. We were being attacked.

I quickly put all my weapons in place and drew my throwing knifes. I held two of them in my left hand and the other one in my right hand. I had my right hand lifted, ready to attack when it was needed.

Kranin and Nicky ran out of their rooms as did Ryan. Luke followed shortly afterwards. I helped Nicky hide in one of the cupboards in the kitchen. "You can only come out if one of us asks you." She nodded and I ran back to the living room.

Everyone was ready, Ryan had his bow ready, Kranin had his axe out and Luke had his sword out. This was the first time I saw Gure's sword. It was a black sword with white on the edges and a red stripe in the middle, it was long and straight.

I walked over to them and got my throwing knifes ready. We heard loud noices outside and heard banging on the door. After merely seconds of tension, the door was kicked open and soldiers ran in one by one. I threw one of my knifes and it hit the first soldier in the neck, I got my second throwing knife ready as Ryan shot the second soldier.

We alternated until I was out of throwing knifes and drew my dual swords as I ran forwards to fight with the next one, the rest followed me and each picked one or two.

Ryan stayed in the back and kept firing arrows, I had just killed one of the soldiers when I saw one of the enemies quickly walking towards Ryan. I ran after him and was about to cut his head off with both my swords when Ryan had already shot him.

"Oh come on!" I yelled at him he grinned back at me as his shot another soldier. I turned around and saw a huge man entering with a war axe. My eyes widened and I cursed under my breath.

He swung his axe around once as my friends evaded and he killed half of his men. "DUCK, YOU FOOLS!!" He yelled at his men.

I charged at him, my swords ready, and jumped on the back on one of his dying men so I was shot even higher. He must have been at least 10 ft! Geez, and we thought 6 feet was tall.
