Just One Scar

Chapter 2~ The Great Escape

Eanid POV

The next morning, I awaken to find Rea has still not returned.

"Hey, Shadow?" I call out to him.

"Mhm?" He replies.

"Still no Rea, as I can see?" I say hopeful that she's in the shadows with him.

"No sorry, look Eanid, you have to listen to me. I think she's dead." He said.

I gasped as the hard truth hit me in the face.

"No!" I shout.

I rush over to the doors of our cell and bang on the door as loud as I possibly could.

"Where is she!" I scream out to Ironfist.

"Oh shut up you disgusting rat! I'm coming here if you don't be quiet!" Ironfist shouts.

I open the flap door, which is used to pass food and water under, and I grab Ironfist's trouser leg.

"Tell me if she's okay! Please!" I beg.

"You don't need to know anything rat!" He shouts at my face.

"Tell me!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

"That's it I'm coming in there!" Ironfist shouts.

I hear the door being unlocked and I hear more guards being called for backup, in case I try to escape.

"Get back," says Shadow.

I whimper and crawl into the shadows.

As the door opened, Shadow flung his body weight onto Ironfist.

"Get off idiot!" He shouts.

Shadow pushes him to the ground with his foot after he gained his balance. He leaves Ironfist injured, so he attacks the other guards.

"Get him boys!" Ironfist shouts.

Shadow throws some punches at the guards, which makes them dazed so he can steal their weapon. He takes a guards dagger, and stabs the guard deep.

"Ugh!" screams Ironfist.

Shadow then lunges at the other guards who have fled. I can't see this part of the battle, but I hear some awful sounds. Shadow returns, alone.

"Shit." Ironfist says as Shadow heads in his direction.

Shadow lunges at him, but with Ironfist being stronger than he is, Ironfist pushes Shadow backwards. Shadow falls to the ground.

"I've got you now boy! Imagine what it would be like bragging that I killed a sword brother! It will be so much fun!" He shouts in Shadow's face.

"I don't think so," Shadow states.

Shadow pulls a dagger out from his boot, and as Iron fist was about to elbow him, Shadow stabbed him in the shoulder.

"Ah!" screamed Ironfist, as he backs away and onto the wall.

Shadow leaps up, and runs back toward the cell.

"Come on!" He ordered.

I leap up and begin to follow him. Another person in our cell also leaps up. I never noticed him before. I must have been too focused on Rea, that I did it notice.

"Follow me." He says

Me and the boy follow close behind. As we are about to exit safely, I see the room that Rea was taken in, the room form which she never returned.

"Wait! Can you check if Rea is there?" I ask.

"Fine, but get out before the guards come back." He says confidently.

I rushed outside, breathing in the cool night air, and felt something I haven't felt in months. I rush toward a barn looking building. Is it stable? Since when were we living under a stable? Oh well, at least I can find some horses to escape with. I came up to a large black horse. As I was about to get on his back, I stepped in some dark liquid. Was it blood? Oh shit, it was blood! I have no time to examine it, I leap onto the horse, and run out the stable. My horse collapses onto the ground. I'm stunned, what happened? But then I see a figure come out of the shadows, it's Ironfist holding his injured arm.

"I've got you now!" He shouts.

He must have thrown a dagger with his right arm! I searched the horse for a dagger and sure enough it got stabbed in the chest.

"No!" I scream as I rush off the ground, but I slip into a riverbank.

I look up to see if Ironfist is there, but strangely he's not. Where did he go? I don't know where he went, but at least he's not hurting me. Realisation hit me, the blood! Ironfist killed the boy from our cell!

I try to stand up, but I collapse into the river once more. My vision slowly goes black, and the next thing I know I'm dreaming.
