Chapter Eleven The Assassin is Born

~Part 2

He came at me with his sword aiming right at my head. I ducked back, making it look almost as if I was dancing with the sword. Dancing with Death. He drew back only to lunge forward. I jumped up kicking out my foot, hitting him right in the neck. I must have hit him somewhere sensitive because with that he fell to the ground. The other man looked at me, his face showed pure astonishment. I grabbed the sword of the man who laid on the ground. I held the sword up to him as I walked towards him. I held the tip right at his neck.

"Who did this?" I yelled my eyes felt like burning embers as they looked into his. He shook my fear, as his messy blonde hair covered his dirty grimy face. I held a rather steady pose, for my first time with a sword.

"King Regiment the II." He hissed as he lashed out of his fearful state, he came at me. I jumped back blocking my torso from his sharp gleaming sword. The sound of our swords colliding nearly blew me away. I fell to the ground, stunned. He stood above me, an evil grin placed perfectly on his face. He looked down upon me, with pity, no with remorse, no neither of those with victory.

"Goodbye young chap." He smiled as he lifted up his sword. I needed to think fast, then it came to me. I tripped him then I jumped up and grabbed his sword from him. He laid on the ground as I took a clean swipe at his head. It was knocked clean off, though his blood spilled fastly onto the grass. I let the sword fall to the ground as my family's cries began to get quieter and quieter. I ran up to the house, panicking as I ran around looking for a way in. Though there was none. The cried dug deeply into my soul. No No No.

"Mother! Mother!" I yelled into the air as the flames began to descend, I watched as tears filled my vision. I watched till there was no house left, I watched till nothing was left. There were dead.

*End of Flashback*

"Archer!" I looked up waking from my memories to see Isabelle, Emeline, and Alexander. It was very odd to see Isabelle in amour, funny also. Emeline was hidden behind a large green cloak that was draped around her, covering her face. Alexander was wearing his normal rugged clothes and Isabelle. Oh Isabelle was wearing a brown skirt that was cut on both sides making it easier to move it. On her chest was a brown rag that was held up by two belts, and her brown curly hair was tied up revealing her eyes. It made me chuckle

"What's so funny?" Alexander asked as he got onto his horse. I looked at him, my eyebrows raised slightly. He just shook his head at me. Isabelle grabbed a dagger off of the ground and put in into a small frog on her belt. Emeline looked up at Alexander as his hands lightly stroked his horse's head.

"Come on Emeline." Alexander said riding up to her. Emeline held out her fragile little hand and Alexander took. Emeline got right behind Alexander her hands locked around his waist. She looked calm and at peace.

"Hurry up." I said as I looked down at Isabelle, she huffed as I extended my hand to her. She though took it and got onto the horse. Alexander waved to the new leader of the traveling party as we all took off into the woods.

"Hurry up." I said as I looked down at Isabelle, she huffed as I extended my hand to her. She though took it and got onto the horse. Alexander waved to the new leader of the traveling party as we all took off into the woods.

None of us talked much as we went through the woods, though I could faintly hear Isabelle muttering curses against me. I sighed as I looked at Alexander. Emeline was whispering something into his ears. I averted my eyes away from them.

"DID YOU JUST SEE THAT!" Isabelle yelled as she pointed ahead of us. Her voice rang into my ears.

"I didn't see anything but I sure HEARED something." I growled as I glanced back at her. She just glared at me. I had never noticed how funny she looked when she got mad. Her eyes would go narrow, her eyebrows would almost furry together, and her lips made a perfect line.

"I saw a something." She hissed as she pointed ahead. I rolled my eyes ignoring what she had just said and turning away from her.

"Archer aren't you going to listen!?" Alexander asked as he stopped his horse. Emeline looked at me, almost glaring. I sighed as I kept riding along.

"There is nothing to be afraid of." I said as we kept going. Alexander stayed still. Suddenly a club came at me knocking me off of my horse, my ribs vibrated with pain. Isabelle screamed as a large green man walked into my sight.
