Chapter 3 - different time

honestly I didn't care where I was going I just wanted to get far away from here if possible I would have like the Earth to open up and swallow me whole. because I will be bringing shame to my family if I admit to cheating but if I don't they will lose everything which was just as worse so I kept running try to get away but I trip and felt a splitting pain go through my head .the last thing I remember before I pass out was the feeling of falling in to a endless hole. when I woke up it was already night time. I tried to stand up but my feets hurt "wait where am I why am I in a forest" .mom and dad must be very worried I need to get home I stood up with much difficulty and start walking but I stopped after taking 2 steps." in which forest am I" ask myself and which way is the way home I ran south when I was trying to get away maybe if I just keeping going in the opposite direction I will get back to the school or the road . When I start walking I heard horse galloping. I was stunned for a minute . After I kinda got myself together I tried to determine which direction the galloping of the horses was coming from, so that I can go up to them and ask for help, to get back to the main road . As the sound of the galloping horses came closer my heart started pumping very fast and my instincts keep telling me to find a place to hide. Before I knew what I was doing I climbed the nearest tree and hid between the leaves of the tree . seconds later a large group of men dressed in ancient warrior clothes appeared in my line of sight . I was very confused "are they doing a shooting for a movie" . if that is the case then I should probably get down and ask them for help to get back to the main road and if they are nice enough I might get a ride home which would be very welcoming giving that it is already pretty dark , but why do I keep getting the feeling that something bad is about to happen. before I finish my thought my feet slip and I fell ." ouch "thank God the tree wasn't very high and the moss I fell on was pretty soft but wtf .This is the second time I fell today seems like it truly is my unlucky day . when I tried to get up I felt a chill go through my spine as if I was in danger . I instinctively turned around and what greeted me was a sword held to my throat and hostage gaze from about 20 men. I think there were twenty I was too scared to accurately determine how many there actually was . "what are you and what are you doing here " the soldier I assumed is the captain asked . I was so scared I blurted the first thing that came to my mind " I'm human !!" the other soldiers start whispering " she looks like a human but why is she so different" "is she cursed look at her hair it look like so different it looks like the waves of a unsteady ocean" " she seems dangerous "quiet " the captain shout and he looked at me his sword still pointing at my throat you are coming with me to the emperor . One of the soldier looked at the captain and asked " what if she is a dangerous spy . bringing her to the capital to the emperor might put the royal family in danger" "that is more the reason why we should bring her to the emperor she looks like she is from a different species and still she claims to be human " the captain said "she doesn't look like a elf or fairy either " another soldier chip in. I was confused and scared what are they talking about . what is this about elf's and fairies they aren't real Right, and what are they going to do with me . "tie her up " the captain said I was then tied up and put on the back of a horse I tried to resist but the soldiers were very strong and I was restraint very quickly I was crying the whole ride if you can call it that. all that crying made my throat very dry and I became thirsty but I was very scared to ask for a bit of water . losing so much energy crying also made me hungry given that I had not eaten dinner .I didn't know what to do so I start to analyse my situation . The more I think about it the more scared I got because according to my analysis , I came to the conclusion that I somehow ended up in ancient times but I didn't just go back in time I am in a country called Qin dynasty where magical creatures exist and humans have magic powers well not all humans I picked all this up by listening to the conversations of the soldiers and I also saw one of the soldiers materialize a flame from his hand palm all this was a lot to take In I was scared why did wish to disappear and why did I end up here of al places why didn't I find myself somewhere in ancient africa why am I in a chinese continent .my thoughts were interrupted when the horse stop moving "we gonna camp here tonight and continue in the morning before noon tomorrow we must reach the capital" the captain said . they build a camp fire and sat around it " give the girl some water and bread we don't want to bring a dead body back to the emperor or else we will never know her purpose here" after the captain said that I was giving some water and bread .the bread was very hard.i didn't say anything about the hard bread that was given to me because I was hungry and also because I was scared the soldiers would force the bread down my throat . let the bread soften a little in the water so that I could eat it without hurting jaw after I finished eating my bread I felled drowsy and fell asleep.
