Akilla's OPV
I run trough the woods. Ten soldiers are back me. I jump over a river. Ha! It will take a while untill they'll come over. Or...maybe I'm wrong? I run faster and faster, but then I come to an open place. I climb up the big tree over me and hope they won't find me here. I look at my old watch. It's gold, with black numbers. I always have my watch in my pocket. It was my mother's. Now it's mine.
I open it. It's nine before darkness. That's how we tell how much the clock is. That's perfect. It means that Edward already found the rabbit we tried to catch. The soldiers are here. I can smell it. They smell like onions and fish. Ugh. Everyone here has a skill. Mine is my nose. I can smell very good. And see. I see very good too. But now I can't find them. The soldiers aren't like us. I don't know what they are. But they all just have one skill and that's hiding. Oh-oh. I can't be here forever. But the soldiers don't have patience. They comes out of their hiding places. That's so stupid. I throw my arrows on the ground and jump after them.
I take one arrow and shot it in one of the soldiers. I do the same with the other arrows. Arrgh! Why do I have just three arrows? I beginn to slam the soldiers with the bow. Okay, I look so stupid. But I can't risk anything. The rabbit will run away if there will be soldiers here. I throw the bow on the soldier that's back me. I jump to one of my arrows and throw it in the last soldier. I take my arrows and my bow and run to the place where I should catch the rabbit. But when I come to the place I hear a voice. It's not Edward's. It's not soldier's. It's a different voice, it's like it's in my head.
"Arkilla..."says the voice. Then I smell the rabbit. It's smell is like leafs and grass. I take one of my arrows and my bow and try to see the rabbit. But then I hear the voice again.
"Arkilla..." It says. Then I hear another voice,a rabbit voice, and a noise of rabbit feet. Oh no! I totally forgot about the rabbit. But that's not so important. Maybe I have another skill?
"Arkilla! Arkilla? Where's the rabbit?"I turn around. It's Edward. I can see how his brown eyes turns from happiness to sadness.
"Arkilla?"
"Did you hear it?"
"What?"
"The voice."
"No, what are you talking about?"
"The voice! Didn't you hear it?"I scream. It's so strange. Edward's has very good ears.
______
Arkilla sits on the stairs to a little house made of wood. In the windows you could see the lights and because of the happy voices you could hear it's a celebration. Arkilla is looking down at the grass with a cup made of wood in her hand. Her black hair lays over her blue dress and her purple cape. She has a brown belt around her waist.
"Why don't you celebrate?" someone says. Arkilla turn around. She looks directly into Edward's brown eyes. He look back in her green eyes, full of secrets.
"What are we celebrating?" Arkilla asks. Her voice is cold.
"Oh common, you killed ten of that disturbing beasts in the wood. We have to celebrate that? You are the best in this town with the bow!" Arkilla turns around to the grass again.
Edward sits down besides her and says:" Do you want ma to leave you?" Arkilla doesn't say anything. Edward
Gets uo and goes to the house. He turns around, but he can only see a shadow of his best friend, sitting at the stairs.
"Arkilla..."
Arkilla stands up.
"Follow my voice..."
Arkilla goes slowly after the voice.
"Arkilla..." Arkilla beggins to run. When she comes deep in the wood, she looks around her.
"Hello?" she says.
"Arkilla..." she hears the voice again. She runs faster and comes to an open place-like when she tried to catch the rabbit.
"Arkilla!" the voice isn't in her head anymore. She looks up; there's a big blue dragon flying over her. It got blue eyes.
"You have to help me!" the dragon says.
"With what?" Arkilla asks.
"Our kingdom is in danger!" the dragon says.
"The dragon kingdom or my kingdom?" Arkilla asks. She smiles a little.
"ARKILLA!" the voice seems angry.
"Stop joking! You have to save the kingdom!"
"I think you got wrong girl," Arkilla says.
"I'm just..."
"What? You're just what?"
"I'm just a haunter from a little town."
"You have to help me! You are the one, you are the only one that can save us!"
"That's just crazy," Arkilla says.
"I don't have much time," the dragon says.
"Come tomorrow, same place, in the morning." The dragon says.
"What's your name?" Arkilla says.
"You can call me Beast," the dragon says. It turns around.
"I have to go!" She says.
"No, wait, Beast! Come back! Tell me more!"
"Goodbye, Arkilla Nillson!"
