The swaying of my body that brought little pricks of pains and the sounds of boots and horse hoofs made me open my eyes. Blinking rapidly at the blinding sunlight and feeling a bit weak I, tried to move but cried out when something heavy painfully tighten around my wrists.
Quickly inspecting my hands I found that both of my wrists were chained together to the bar of a wooden cage.
Fearfully alert I looked around me observing the environment I was placed in.
Seeing the cage attached to a moving horse with, me chained to the bars and soldiers on foot following closely behind, with other soldiers on horses moving in front.
Afraid I tried to speak but unfortunately my mouth was gagged with a piece of fabric.
Swinging my legs back and forth I forcefully kicking the wooden bars of the cage I was held captive in drawing the attention of the soldiers and other riders in front.
One soldier on a horse bearing a flag of a dragon spitting fire. raised his right hand which halted the swaying of the cage and movement of the other soldiers and riders.
With a gesture to a soldier standing close by he pointed to me.
Then with a flick of his hand dismissed the soldier who, immediately made quick strides to me.
Reaching behind me he brought out a key which he used to unlock the cage pushing the doors apart.
Feeling my mouth was dry I, swallowed then flinched at the sudden pain and tightness in my throat.
Without wasting time he carefully removed the gag from my mouth then offered me a carved water bottle.
Seeing as I was chained to the bars he inserted the bottle into my mouth,tipping the end as it contents flowed into my mouth and me greedily swallowing every drop.
Removing the carved bottle from my mouth he shut the cage.
securing the padlock back in place then he left me as quickly as he came.
A few seconds later the cage resumed it swaying and bumping as the soldiers followed closely behind to their known destination.
Closing my eyes and silently shedding some tears I allowed myself to be taken to the unknown.

It was night fall by the time we arrived at a castle brightly lit and decorated with candle lights and flowers.
Beautiful I thought as All movement stilled at a deep and commanding "Halt!".
As if on cue the cage was lifted with me in it fearfully taking in my surroundings.
Still lifting the cage I swayed as more soldiers began moving forward into the castle.
Something tells me I was safe, while the other part says otherwise.
After countless bumping and swaying's the cage was finally put down and judging by the cold ground and faint light illuminating the darkness, this is their dungeon.
The moment a soldier unlocked the cage freeing my wrists from the metal shackles I rubbed my wrists feeling the blood flow to them.
Immediately I was pulled out of the cage I made a run for the door which as stupid as an attempt it was, was my only option at the moment.
After being dragged back and pushed into the farthest corner of a cell, it's door's sealed with a click.
And after the soldiers and guards had all left. And the dungeon door padlocked leaving behind few guards to prevent any escaping and rescue attempt.
I sank down in a puddle, crying and sobbing my loss and pains in the almost darkness.
The more I tried to control the tears the harder it flowed at every remembered moment of my family.
Gasping for air and willing myself to be strong I gently layed with my side on the cold floor. wrapping my arms around me to bring me some warmth.
Shivering, sweating and turning restlessly I moaned as a burning sensation rippled through my body blurring my visions.
Making me light headed and in so much pains.
"Mommy" I moaned.
'It hurts Mommy' I sobbed, 'it hurts so bad'
Hot tears leaked out of my closed eyes as I tried opening them.
With my light headedness and pains.
I allowed myself to be sucked into the darkness that instantly claimed me.
Where in it I felt the embrace of my mother giving me all the warmth and love I would forever miss
