Chereads / The Sword Bearer / Chapter 6 - Rescue Mission

Chapter 6 - Rescue Mission

in the abandoned town, everyone (Becky, Evan, Andrew, Cruiser & Clair) is taking a rest near a water fountain in the town square.

"Phew! that was a close one. Who was that guy?" Becky asks.

"I don't really know, but I know there was another guy with him. I had to get through him to get to you guys," Andrew explains.

"What? you knew there were people here and you didn't warn us," Becky annoyed.

"Well... where were you?" Andrew pointing at Clair & Cruiser trying to change the subject.

"What! don't add me in this little quarrel of yours," says Clair as she backs out.

"Anyway maybe we should get going to the Harrendail Kingdom," says Cruiser.

"Your right. We should get going," says Andrew as he heads off and the others follow from behind.

[Unknown Forest]

it's been 2 hours since they left the abandoned town. As they walk along the long and narrow path Cruiser hears a scream coming from the Forest next to them, within an instant Cruiser plunges straight into the forest and looks for the person screaming.

"I heard something," says Cruiser, and seconds later he plunges into the forest.

"Wait Cruiser where are you going?" Says Clair, but it's too late because he already dashed into the forest.

"What is that lunatic doing? he's going to get himself killed," says Becky while rolling her eyes.

"No, he won't!" Clair shouts at Becky.

"Huh?" Becky response.

"He's stronger than that. He won't get himself killed or let anyone kill him, I think," says Clair in a worried state.

"Andrew," says Evan as he hints at me.

"hmm? I don't sense any strong enemy's in this area... ARRRRRG! fine. Let's go after him," says Andrew in an irritated and frustrated tone.

As Andrew and his team (Evan, Clair & Becky) form a search party to go after Cruiser, Cruiser is searching for the person who was screaming.

(Cruiser)

Cruiser searches and searches but no one to be found. Then at that moment, he spots something, it was three empty cages and big footprints next to the cages. Cruiser decides to follow the large footprints to where they lead, which the footprints were leading more into the forest.

"The creature that can have these gigantic footprints is either a Cyclops or a Troll, Well I would have to see for myself," says Cruiser as he gets more in the forest.

"Help!" Screams the unknown character.

"I can hear the person, she must be close," as Cruiser gets closer he can see the lady wearing a red dress and laying on a rock without any monsters nearby.

"You came," says the lady.

"Where is the monster that grabbed you?" Cruiser asks.

"I managed to escape from its shackles and manage to escape unseen," the lady explains.

"Ok. Come with me I have a team-up ahead. Will you come?" Cruiser asks, holding out his hand.

"Yes," the lady responded, grabbing onto his hand, pulling herself up.

"Anyway, what's your name?" Cruiser asks while running with the lady.

"My name is Samantha," the lady answers.

After a long run, they rest against a tree.

"Stay here. I will go up and see if it's clear," says Cruiser.

Cruiser gets up and heads off to make sure the area is clear, while he was gone Samantha grabbed some straw and started making a doll out of it. 20 minutes have passed and Cruiser has just come back and Samantha quickly hides her straw doll from Cruiser.

"Well you took your time," sarcastically says, Samantha.

"Yeah sorry about that. Well anyway, the coast is clear, ready to head off?" Cruiser asks.

"Yeah," says Samantha as they both head off.

They both start jogging for as long as possible until they run out of breath again. Cruiser and Samantha take a rest near a well (Water hole).

"How long is it going to take to get to your team?" Samantha asks.

"Yeah well, I don't know. I was searching for you for hours. I'm a little surprised to see how long this forest goes on for," says Cruiser as he turns around and steadiness his hands onto the rope that pulls the bucket up for water.

While Cruise has his back faced towards Samantha, her face brightens with the biggest, creepiest, and longest grin in the world as she pulls out her straw doll which is also known as the voodoo doll, but after she pulls out her doll Cruiser asks something.

"So... how long have you had those marks for," Cruiser referring to Samanthas marks that she tried to cover up with her sleeves.

"Huh!" Samantha surprised.

"I mean those circle red marks on your arms, Those are the symbols for a witch, is it?" Andrew asks.

"My. How did you know?" Samantha asks with a smirk on her face.

Cruiser turns around to face Samantha with one hand firmly gripped onto the rope and the other hand hanging down next to his waist.

"I had a suspicion as soon as I met you. First, it would've been a great miracle to survive from one of the giant clans (Trolls & Cyclops) and second what is a lady doing I spotted your markings on your arms as you went to purposely grab your hand," Cruiser explains while smirking.

"Well did you expect this!?" Samantha shouts referring to her voodoo doll.

"Actually no," says Cruiser.
