I freeze at the sound of the person's voice. I slowly turn around and push Alissa behind me.
My heart rate speeds up as I see it's one of the village people, holding a pitchfork. I swallow and inhale a sharp breath. "
He takes a few steps closer to me.
"Are you the one who came with those bloody pirates to take over this half of the kingdom?"
My eyes widen. He thinks I'm Ailee.
I shake my head. "No, I'm-"
Before I can finish my sentence, he starts moving dangerously close to us, pitchfork bared.
"Liar!" his deep voice screams.
I throw my arms around and Alissa just as the man brings his pitchfork down on us. I squeeze my eyes shut and brace for the blow that never comes. I slowly crack my eyes open to find a shiny sword coming down on the man. I cover Alissa's eyes and ears as the man falls to the ground. The sun moves off of the sword owner's face. Despite my fear, I breathe a sigh of relief.
It's Darien.
