New World

Chapter 3

"Nice to meet you." The girl mumbled, sarcastic clearly, scanning the guard to see where his hands were at all times, which were at his sides, unless he was making hand gestures while speaking.

The girl was just waiting until the male was caught off guard(ha, pun), so she could take a chance to just leave. She looked behind her and down to see that cliff, seeing if there was a possible way down, but there wasn't, other than death.

Danny continued to talk, trying to get the girl down from the tree, like a person would for a cat. The girl wasn't budging.

"Okay, if you're not going to come down, i'll come up." He finally said as he began to walk toward the tree. The girl's eyes widened before shaking her head.

"That's not necessary." She said quickly.

"Why not?" He asked, stopping in his tracks, looking up at the girl.

"Because, you could get hurt." She said.

"Right." Danny said as he rolled his eyes.

"Sir!" A guard came running toward Danny, the girl was sure he saw him before. She tilted her head before climbing back up, further into the trees.

"What is it Scout?" Danny asked as he turned to the guard.

"It's an emergency! They're everywhere!" Scout yelled, not meaning to, but he was panicking.

The girl listened before jumping down, landing to her feet as the wind blew her cloak from behind her, revealing her armor slightly. Scout freaked out, "She's one!" He said as he pulled out his sword.

"Calm." She said, putting a hand out in front of her, as if telling him to stop.

"Calm? What the fuck! You planned this attack!" Scout accused, but she didn't care.

"Whatever you say guard, if I really planned this attack, would you think I would be standing here, instead of attacking you both?" She said, putting her arm back underneath her cloak.

"You will slay us as we turn our backs." Scout insisted, sure that she was the main reason behind this attack, and he wasn't wrong.

Danny was confused, but then looked in the direction of the village. His eyes widened as he could see smoke coming from behind the trees.

"Not if I go in front of you." The girl said before sprinting off, in the direction of the burning village.

"Hey!" Scout yelled and ran after her, along with Danny following after. The girl made it to the village.

So much damage, in very little time. Some of the villagers laid dead, in the rocks and grass. The girl wasn't fazed, but the two guards behind her certainly were.

Buildings were burning, people running out of them. The girl scanned the area, looking for any of the people causing this disaster to occur.

She had spotted one. She dashed toward one and their swords clashed together. She growled as the knight pushed her away with his sword.

She continued to slash and do whatever she could do to hit the knight. This knight, he was smaller than her, which made him a bit quicker than her. He hit her a couple times, which would cause her to stop for a second, which gave the knight an advantage.

Danny ran up behind the girl, the knight's actions completely confused the girl.

"D-Dan.." The knight mumbled before the girl stabbed him in the thigh, causing him to fall down, and stay down. Danny was confused by the words that barely escaped the knight's mouth.
