It was pitch black outside,following behind Fari who was carrying a torch leading a way to the tavern from the main road.The torch giving to much heat for how hot it was already.
"The tavern is right up here,I told him what you look like so you should be able to go rest with no problems." Fari gave me a smile,"Ill be off now,see you at sunrise!"She darted off into the night disappearing into the dark.
I walked up to the dim litted tavern,I could here chatter from inside and laughter.
I walked into the tavern to see men(and some women) drinking away and laughing.
"Ahhhh,you must be Jonah! Fari told me you were coming.Your room is upstairs,3rd one to the left.It is my best room,but no worries."
He smirked and I realized I never knew his name.
"What is your name?"
"Stewart.Stewart the tavern keeper,now go rest up laddy."
I hauled myself upstairs to the room he mentioned,the room was of royalty by my amazement.A silk carpet laced with gold with a bed in perfect condition.
I looked at the room window,it was nice outside.So I left the windows open for the time being.
I put down my cutlasses and started to undress.
Swooosh
"Who goes there!?"
I whipped my flintlock out and aimed at the big window hole that was there,but there was nothing there.Could of sworn there was a noise.
I put my flintlocks down on the ground closer to where I was undressing.
"Ya know,you could just put some cloth over the window and you might not have to worry about intruders..."
The soft voice immediately grabbed my attention as I grabbed both of my flintlocks this time and aimed them at her.
She wore a mask and hood in black and red with long brown hair.Baring 2 swords on her side with a long blowpipe on her back,along with a dagger.She must be native to the Island.
"You have less than ten seconds before I paint the wall with your blood."Even though what I said was harsh I meant it and I wasnt hesitant to do it.
"How rude of you,then again I couldnt give a care cause I'd kill you before you had a chance."She tossed a dagger in her hand and played with it.
"Why are you in my window?"She turned and looked at me like I was crazy.
"Why are you in my room?" We exchanged looks of curiosity as we both wanted answers.Not disregarding the fact that we were both on the edge of killing each other.
"Ill go first,I was out...exploring and ran into some...issues,one might call it.So I came back here,to my room,to rest.Now then,tell me why your here and I might,might,not kill you." She pointed her dagger at me and waved it around.
"I am the cousin of Fari,she told me to co-"
"Wait wait,did you say the cousin of Fari?" Her eyes widened but her position didnt change."Hmm,interesting."
"Anyways,she told me to come here and the tavern keeper,Stewart I think,told me to go to this room."
She put her dagger away and cane from the window into the room.
"I guess I have no reason to kill you."
She put her blowpipe down along with her swords,then began to undress herself."Lets see if I can really trust you."
She put her dagger on the floor,the dagger with an emerald in the middle of the handle,and engravings in the blade.The edges of the blade with a black metal on it going down to the wodden handle as well.
She turned back around an started to undress again,the temptation to try and take the blade was irresistible.
Irresistible for any other person.
I turned around in the other direction and began to finish undressing.
"HEY!!!COME OUTSIDE YOU LITTLE RAT PIECE OF SH*T!" The voice startled me and I turned around towards the window.
"Hold on,this will only take a second."
She grabbed her swords and dagger and leaped out of the window.I grabbed my swords and ran towards the window with just some pants on.
The man who yelled was with 6 other men.He took his axe and pointed it at her.
"IM GONNA-"
Sllice
In an instant she cut his head off.
All of the other men rushed her in rage but even though she was outnumbered,she held her own.
I moved away from the window and put my swords down,she'll be fine.
"AGAAGGH,LET ME...GOOO!"
I went back to the window to see her being held down by 2 of the men.Only 4 of them were left.
1 of the men searched her body while the other...got a little handsy.
"Ahhh,the dagger of the Rusians."He held it in front of the lit moon while the other one made his way up with his hands.No way am I letting this happen.
I grabbed my swords and jumped out the window.
"Looks like we can have so-"
THUMP
"You wont be having any fun,not with her."
The man holding the dagger dropped it in my hand as I pulled my sword at his body.
I kicked up dust in the thin bodied mans face and sliced his arm off.
"Get off you..!"
The man still on "her" moving his hands on her.I must kill him now.
I ran toward him as
CLING
"If you want to get to her,you go through me."
