Midnight Cry

Iron Bells

s

Skylark Jean Tylet walked out of her giant closet into her room. Her dad had given her everything she wanted. A huge room,

any clothes she wanted, and as much service as she wanted, but really all she wanted was for the war to stop. The war between the and

the Tylets. Sadly, she was part of the Tylet kingdom. Her dad had actually started the kingdom when King Matthews had come up I

with a more strict security around Arrotonan. Her dad, Robert Tylet, had rebelled and gotten a large group together. He had crowned

himself king, and had built the kingdom that had now burst into war with Arrotonan.

Sky was thinking deep but her thoughts were interrupted by a loud clanging in the courtyard right outside of her window. Sky

burst into anger. Those Iron bells signaled a death about to happen. They were about to kill more Arrotonans. "No, not anymore." Sky

said to herself. She grabbed her low heel boots, her knife and instead of her usual dress she put on a short dress that allowed her to run

and jump and climb. Sky walked out her French doors onto her balcony. She slid over the railing onto the roof of her dad's castle. She

jumped off onto a small house then around twenty feet to the noose on a small shack. They had put a young boy probably 21 years old

into it and were about to pull the lever for the feet to drop out when she threw her knife it sliced right through the rope and into a

wooden plank. She jumped down grabbed her knife and took off toward the stables the boy right on her heels. She ran out to the front

corral and jumped on a gray horse. She took off hearing the boy gaining on her she allowed her horse to run faster. All of the sudden

she heard a gunshot and felt her horse fall to the ground. She was flung over his withers and to the ground. She stood up and ran as fast

as she could when another bullet was fired. It hit her right below her her left side rib age. Sky fell the ground and passed out.

She woke up a time later wondering we're she was. When she saw the boy everything came rushing back to her. She gasped in pain. The

gunshot hurt like something else. She cried out and the boy was emmediatly at her side.

"Are you okay?" The boy asked his voice full of concern. But, she didn't stay awake long enough to answer him.
