It was that girl from the forest! Did she come to save me or something? I watched as the girl walked out of the room with blood running down the end of her blade. I looked outside to see if it was safe and for some reason I couldn't see her.
Suddenly I heard screams coming from the right of the hall. I ran over to the sound to see all the guards dead in a second. She must be really fast enough to kill those knights! She turned her head and saw that I was there.
''Are you one of the maidens that were brought here?'' The tall blonde girl questioned of me. I nervously nodded at her. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the room the knights were at before.
Blood is all I saw, all over the walls. All of the girls were dead! Wait where was Misty!? I looked around and there I saw misty whip marks all over her legs. How could these bastards do this to these young girls?
Misty squinted her eyes open and lifted her head up. '' I'm glade your ok Elise''. Misty said in a faint voice. ''She won't die she's might have a problem walking now so I can't deal with her'' The blonde hair girl said. The blonde woman ran out of the room and so I chased her down.
She stopped at the window and I was soon able to catch my breath. ''Wait what's your name?'' I said to the blonde girl. She gave a small smirk and said''Aster and What's your name?'' I took a gulp and said'' My name is Elise''. All of the sudden Aster jumped out of the window. I couldn't leave her I still had questions.
I jumped out the window in an attempt to land. Suddenly I felt arms around me. Aster caught me bridal style which I found embarssing so I had a dark shade of red growing on my cheeks. Aster dropped me on the ground which was so mean of her to do! She lit a lantern she had in her sack and I followed her into the woods.
After what felt like hours of walking we stopped at a Irish pub. She opened the door and we both entered. Luckily Nobody was there to see all the blood on me except the woman who owned the pub. Aster got a bag of golden coins out and laid It on the counter.''Alright have a nice night'' The woman said and gave us a key. I followed Aster to room 27 which wasn't a long walk to get there.
She opened the door to 2 beds, A table, and 2 chairs. She sat on the bed on the right and got something out of her sack. It was a dress which looked a bit old.
She walked over and put it in my hands. ''It should fit you since your small'' Aster said as she laid in the bed. I put the dress on the chair and laid on the left bed. I slowly closed my eyes and went to sleep.
I think I was in my dream world or something because Misty was sitting a table with a book. Crap I remember I left my book at the castle! My grandmother would kill me if she found out about that!
''Oh hey Elise I have been reading this book and it's good''. Misty said as she got out of the chair. She walked over to me and whispered in my ear'' This girl is dangerous just wake up and run away' 'before I could do anything I woke up at the sound of footsteps.
Aster was getting dressed so I might as well. I got out of bed and slowly put on the dress. I felt eyes watching me for some reason. I looked over at Aster and said' 'Morning'' with a stoic face.
Something about her didn't feel right. She seemed so calm when she killed people. For starters she is way stronger than anyone else I have ever met. The thing is I just get this awkward feeling around her and I just feel like any second now she could kill me!
Aster gave me a little punch to the chest and said'' We need to go to the village there's someone I need to pick up''. I wonder who that person was.'' So who is this person?'' I said shakenly. Damn it I looked like an idiot saying that.
She turned to me and said'' A Fairy that was stolen from me''. A fairy!!? I thought they only existed in fairy tales? I followed her outside where she had a horse tied up. Wait the horse was here this whole time? Then why didn't we use the horse to get here it would at least been faster!
She helped me up the horse and jumped on. The horse I have to admit wasn't that pretty but I didn't care much it had that attraction that I couldn't hate it for. We rode through the forest and most of the time I couldn't see anything because her Long blonde hair was in my view. Soon a sun hit her long blonde her and It looked almost like honey in a way.
We stopped at the village where people roamed the streets up and down. Aster patted me on the back and said' 'Wait here ok I need to check with some people'' She soon disappeared into the forest not to be seen. I heard the voice of man laughing as I saw a voice yelling from the cage the man was holding. A wind blew and there I saw a fairy! It wasn't a girl but it was a male fairy. It had short black hair with bangs and the weird part was he was naked but he didn't have any genitals!
The one thing that attracted me to this fairy was his white sparkling wings that fluttered glitter. Wait maybe I should tell Aster about the fairy! No I need to get the fairy and keep track of it so the man doesn't run away somewhere else.
I'm sorry Aster but I do owe you a favor.
