I jumped back from his jab breathless; . man i have to leave soon. I returned my focus to the fight as we stood in our places taking a breather.
" I will have to admit you are quite good you know, for a girl" he said to me with a smirk on his face. I knew what he was trying to make me do. He wanted me to act impulsively but I knew better. So I started to circle around the ruins of the table that used to be there. I replied with a jest of my own.
" why thank you your highness, your pretty good as well for a person of the royal court. I thought you guys were all fat and stupid considering we are the superior race" he snarled and lunged for my throat with his blade instead of leaning away i leaned in layed on my back and kicked up throwing him through the door where his men were waiting with shackles. they had him tied up in a matter of seconds. i got up and ran looking back to see him yelling at his men " forget me and get the girl " his ear ring glowing a deep dark ember color strange. i ran to the opposite side that i came from knowing he had men waiting there.
i sheath my weapons and started putting the file in my bag. i checked the clock and started running faster huff, huff", I could hear the countdown nearing zero as I thundered down the road towards the hill. Then the voice over the speakers said in a monotone voice 7., 6.,5 I started to speed up tumbling down the hill as I rolled then flew towards my dome it was already starting to close. 4.., 3.,2. Before it reached one I took off my backpack and threw it under my domes metal door as it slid shut.
NOW
the walk to the hut wasn't long and even though it has been three years since i've been there the directions were still ingrained into my mind. the hut was located right on the line.what line, the do not cross line. my great grandfather built it before the split and its been there ever since. the hut came into view and i smiled seeing the familiar doors and windows. even the my stray tabby tabs. i know i know i just couldn't think of a better name i named her when i was 4. i'm actually surprised it hasn't died from all that catnip it eats.
i opened the old creaky door, except it didn't even make a sound. i touched the hinges, its been oiled. quickly i pulled my dagger out and carefully without making any noise surveyed my childhood cabin. i noticed someone had added another table and some plants. the old sun carving in the wall had more details than last time. there was fire wood in a neat pile next to a small bed. i ran over to the hidden pantry in the roof yes we had our pantry in the roof because who looks there. it was stocked with first aid stuff and food. someone has been living here lost fae, a goblin. i took a seat at the desk as tabs walked over and sat in my lap who ever was hear was here within this week there was a half finished candle. but if you were a fae you didn't need a candle unless it was night time which could only mean one thing. suddenly tabs jumped off my lap and ran straight for the door. i quickly ducked behind the wardrobe that had new male clothes in it. i crouched and brought out my other dagger.when the door opened i lunged and pushed the blade onto the enemy's throat crossing my arms which made my blades tips meet i looked into the intruders eyes and smirked. "i guess some people in the royal family aren't completely useless." his earring glowed a dangerous color lighting up the dark room showing his nasty scowl. his only response was a single word.
YOU
