His Warrior

Chapter Sixteen: Carol

Y/N and I held both of Sarah's hands, Sarah being in the middle.
A stone brick wall was before us, iron bars making out a gate in the middle. Two small brick towers were layed out on both sides, guards stationed at the top.

"Who goes there?"
One of the guards shouted.

"My name is Samuel Gladiator, this is my lover Y/N and my adoptive daughter Sarah. We have been traveling for months and need a place to stay. Could you please be ever so kindly and let us into your kingdom? We promise no harm,"
I explained.

"Let them pass!"
One of the guards shouted.

The iron gate lifted and we passed through with our few belongings.
I looked around at our surroundings.
Children played.
People worked.
Horses ran by.
Sarah stayed close to Y/N and I. We didn't know these people, and in the dangerous world I've been living in I've learned to not trust easily.
I smiled down at Sarah as she clutched mine and Y/N's hand. She seemed nervous, but I didn't blame her.

"Y/N, can you watch Sarah?"
I asked.

"Sure, what for?"

"I'm going to ask around to see if there's anywhere we can stay, I don't see an Inn,"
I explained.

"All right, we'll be here."

I walked away from Sarah and Y/N and up to a man on a chestnut brown horse.

"Excuse me, sir?"

"Sorry son, don't have time."
He rode off on his horse.
I sighed and walked off.
I walked up to a young woman.

"Excuse me miss?"

"I'm sorry I can't help you,"
She walked off.

I continously tried asking people if they knew where we could stay, they all just walked away.
I walked up to Y/N and Sarah.

"Why are people so damn rude?"
I asked.

"I don't know, Sam. Let's just wait here and pray someone will save us,"
Y/N replied.

I don't know how much time passed, it felt like hours.
No one stopped to ask us if we needed help.
Nobody cared.

"Y/N, it looks like we're sleeping under the stars tonight."
I told her.

I looked worriedly at Sarah for I feared for her health.
My daughter must always stay in the pink.
She looked up at me, her eyes twinkling like the bright stars in the night sky. The moonlight reflected onto her short hair.

"Does no one care about us, mommy?"
Sarah asked Y/N.

"People aren't always nice, honey. But some are, I promise,"
Y/N told her, slightly smiling.

"Excuse me?"
I looked up and saw an elderly woman standing before us.

"Yes miss?"
I replied.

"Are you lost?"
She asked.

"Oh heavens no! We just need a place to stay but no one seems to want to help us,"
I explained.

"Oh you poor things! You can stay with me and my husband!"
She held her hand out to me and I took it, smiling.
Y/N and Sarah stood up as well, in sync with me.

"Follow me dears, let's get you nice and cozy."
She said to us, gesturing for us to follow.

We followed her throughout the town, walking through the few layers of snow.
The peaceful streets were quiet, no one in sight. Everyone was inside keeping warm for the winter.

"Excuse me, Miss?"
I heard Sarah's squeaky little soft voice.

"Yes dear?"
The elderly woman had to bend down to be at Sarah's level.

"We don't know your name,"
Sarah looked up at her with sparkling eyes.

"Oh! My apologies, I am Carol,"
She smiled at Sarah.

"And you are?"

"I'm Sarah!"
Sarah replied cheerfully.

I smiled at Sarah. She's so cute when she's smiling, her bright smile was adorable. Her missing teeth added to it.

"I'm Y/N by the way and this is Sam."
Y/N introduced ourselves to Carol.
She smiled warmly at us.

"Welcome..."

Artwork above is by Kawaii_Angel_Otaku13 or if you read Grian x Reader you know her as Kate~Chan.
Thank you Kate~Chan!
She has two more coming you'll see in future chapters.
This was a cute chapter to be honest. I'm a little annoyed. I wrote a story at school for extra credit and got an invitation to an Author's circle where I would meet the mayor of the town I live in. Well it was last Monday. Got post poned to today. I go there, it was post poned another two weeks. Rage. The story I wrote I really want to publish on Wattpad but the problem is I can't until after the author's circle. Cause I need the copy of the story and what areas the readers and the mayor liked. I wanted to get it out by the end of March but that's when the damn author circle is. Rage. You guys might like it it's called Reality. My friend has her own version of the story (just pm me if curious) and I'm trying to convince her to publish it on here. Her's is way better than mine XD
(love you sis)
And I just wanna say something. I googled myself XD Uhm I don't know how to feel XD There was a bunch of crap I've never seen mostly. A lot of it was Samgladiator stuff. There was one photo of me. There was my profile photos for Wattpad. I saw a bunch of my stories (un published ones too) there was Kate~Chan's story. There was a photo of my brother XD wth? Stalkers much?
