                         Chapter 2

                        Part 1 of 3

The light starts to vanish and I found myself in the last place I would want to be. In the middle of a clash between armies! A though comes to my mind in a split second

"Well there are two things I can do, one is play dead other is grab something and try to get the hell out of here."

I grab a shield and a weapon of a fallen warrior beside me whispering.

- Sorry mate but I will need this.

Feeling more protected I try to walk out of the blood field before getting noticed but a soldier jumps right to the front of me. It had an bright blue armor covering most of her body, and then I notice in fur! I look with more attention and I can now see that this soldier is nothing more than a werewolf.

"You gotta be joking with me"

I catch a glimps on the werewolf eyes and I start to shiver.

- I smell fear and that is how I like my meals. Human you are the main dish for today!

With those words he jumps at me and I just froze in my place barely pushing my shield up. It didn't helped much since the impact shattered it and trowned me several feets back.

"Damn, I won't survive this if I don't act quickly.

The werewolf starts to run at me while I start to getting up and for a moment I though I was over until someone shoves me aside holding the werewolf.

-Get the hell out of here!

I can't see my savior and actually I doubt that it was a big difference since he quickly weakens and the werewolf completely destroy his face with a hit of his claws.

-No fear, that makes flesh bitter, what a waste but you seem even better now.

All of sudden, knowing the fight for my survival is up I start to feel the adrenaline pumping in my veins and all around me the battlefield seems to slow while I focus on every move of the werewolf.

He tackles me but I avoid it giving him a cut in his back.

- I underestimated you for once not happening again.

He tackles quicker and I try to avoid it but only being half sucessfull since his claws make several deep cuts under my arm.

-The scent is attractive, I want more!

He rushes at me but suddently right from the right of him and spear comes flying and goes through his head in the mid of his running.

That just suprised me but I bet he was a lot more suprised. I dropped the blade and with both hands and putting a feet on his head I remove the spear that will be needed since my wounds make me stumble. And my blood lost is very high. I barely make ten metters before collapsing to the ground and fainting.

I wake up in the middle of the same battlefield but nobody remains there, only the corpses and crows. To my suprise I am alive and to further inspect my wounds they don't bleed anymore. Perhaps something in the werewolf claws just to weaken me but not to kill so he could have fun.

"Let's see, I doubt this is a dream. Got no idea where to go and no idea where I am. First thing I should is equip myself with some stuff from the dead since I doubt they will need it and everything that can help me is a bonus"

I get a brown plated armor of a soldier, a longbow from other and a rapier from a last one.

"The only thing I can really use is the longbow since I practised until I went to university, gonna see if still have the skills."

I get near to a tree standing in the edge of the plain and I make a carved target with a sword I pick not the rapier since it could ruin the blade. Aiming several times at the target and at leasting getting all in it is good but none hit the center. Before moving I need a plan of course so it os better if I start thinking.

"No provisions means that if I am lucky enough to find water and can hunt some animals perhaps two weeks alive while walking. I wonder what type of animals are here"

Watching the battlefield I can understand from where each army came so I start walking to the direction of the soldier that saved me came.

I walked all day and it isn't long until the moon will start to be seen, looking at the sky my mouth drops as I see not one but two moons and none white, the bigger one is green and the smaller blue. What a strange world I ended up. When about to call it a night I see a house, seeing the medieval battle from before I didn't expected that this house as made of steel, black steel actually much more modern than the medieval environment all around me. I decide to aproach the house because somebody is better that nobody at all.

I knock at the door but soon as I knock the door opens a bit and I decide to enter. The scene before me, I wasn't ready for it. A family slaughtered, wife and husband, two little girls, all dead and half eaten. I run outside felling sick. The scene in a battlefield didn't affected me but this did, they weren't soldiers, they had no way to defend themselves.

-What is going on here?!

Decided to at least give them a proper burial I search for something that might help me and I found something similar to a shovel that I use to dig a big hole in the back of the house where I put them all together. Knowing that investigating that house could help me I decide to enter again ignoring all the blood that stains the walls. During my search I find a map that despite very detailed I can't get where to go since I don't know where I am. Almost leaving the house I stumble in one letter covered in blood. I pick it and start reading.

" To my beautiful daughter Anna, I hope you have been lucky finding the person you always talked about when you were young, me and your mother barely can wait to seem him and you know how your sisters are always jumping around waiting for your next visit home. With love."

Tears start to drop from my face as I understand that this family would never see each other again.

" the grief of the other girl must be great or with some luck unknown so far, still I will hold to this letter."

With this done I leave the house picking up a couple of wood from the yard and entering the forest again. shortly after I find a place cleaned of vegetation, probably used as camp before. Stacking the wood to build a fireplace I take a carefull look around me to make sure I am safe. It seems so. Searching my pockets I find some matches  but only three left so I better use them well. First try it is a failure and one is wasted but at the second time I manage to lighten and taking care of the fire takes me one hour since the wind isn't helping. Soon as it seems strong enough it is sleep time I lay near the fire. hoping tomorrow I found somebody to help me, to explain what I am doing here so I don't be alone.

Hope you are enjoying I appreciate any votes and comments :)
