Fallen Star

Chapter 5

A week pasted by and I was able to walk around now, but the pain was still there. Julia had went back into the woods and retrieved my bow and sword. We hadn't seen Wes  since he saved me, but I worried he would come back. 

  "Thomas I am so sorry I brought him hear"

  "What are you talking about child!"

  "He is a knight Thomas! He could lead Demetria right here! What do you think she will do to you and Julia! You helped me hid for years!"

  "The boy has no idea who you are, plus he was very fond of you. Why would he put you in harms way"

  "Fond of me? No way!"

Julia and Thomas both looked at me and laughed. I rolled my eyes and continued.

  "He could bring people here to harm y'all and I would never forgive myself it that happened"

  "Sam we chose to take you in that was our choice. We knew the consequences and we would never forgive ourselves if something happened to you. So stop this nonsense of blaming yourself for things that haven't happened"

I let out a smile and cleaned the dishes after dinner. Julia started to take me outside to started training again, but it wasn't going so well. My arm was still in pain and it was hard to lift things. I started to get very frustrated and impatient. 

  "Damnit!"

  "Sam you need to be patient!"

  "I am tired of hearing that! I was so close to being ready and now its like I am starting all over again!"

  "You haven't fully healed yet, you can't rush things"

I was so pissed off and decided to go on a walk to clear my mind. As I was walking a huge puff of smoke blew up ten feet in front of me. Aron appeared and started to speak.

  "Well helloooo"

  "What do you want"

  "Noticed that you were having a bad day"

  "Now I am"

  "Just a ball of sunshine now aren't ya"

I continued to walk forward and Aron followed at me heels. 

  "Could you back off!"

  "I would watch your attitude if I were you"

  "Why is that?"

  "Because I am the best asset to aid you"

  "Well you haven't been very useful lately"

  "Is that so?"

  "Yup"

  "Well here is something useful! If I were you I would go to Thomas' ASAP"

I turned around quickly and grabbed his shirt.

  "What are you talking about!"

He disappeared and I wasted no time wondering where he went. I ran as fast as I could and when I got there the house was in flames. A group of knights surrounds the house with torches, but I didn't hesitate to run into the house. Everything was up in flames and I went in search of Julia and Thomas. I screamed there names, but no one answered me. It was getting really bad in here, but I was not leaving without Julia and Thomas. The fire was now blocking all my exits now and the smoke was to much. I started coughing and couldn't breathe. If Julia and Thomas died in here so was I. Then I saw someone bust through the door and grab me.

  "No! Let me go!"

As I pulled away a piece of wood fell from the roof and hit me in the head. I blacked out and woke up at my house. I rubbed my head and heard someone in the kitchen. I grabbed my sword from under my bed and slowly made my way into the kitchen. There was a boy washing dishes in the sink and I figured it was Wes. I crept up behind him and put my sword to his throat.
