Chapter 2 - Ch. 2

What I saw at the end of the alley filled me with despair, The Street was covered in dead bodies the smell of the rotting dead filled the air. I started gagging but nothing came up. I slid down the wall I was holding onto for support and pulled my knees up to my chest and closed my eyes and started to cry. *How am I supposed to live if I have nothing and I'm too weak to do anything?*. Then I heard a noise like horses and then I saw a light, I looked up and saw men in armor holding torches walking around the village checking house's I froze not daring to make a move or sound. Then I heard them talking, "Do you think we will find any survivor's? The demon's usually don't leave survivors after they attack." The man on the horse then replied, "I know soldier but we have to check before we burn the bodies before they come back as the undead." Hearing that shocked me and I moved a little. "What was that?" a man in leather armor asked. "What did you see something?" the man on the horse asked. "I thought I saw that child movie but it couldn't be a survivor right?" then man in leather armor said. "It could be or that child has already turned into an undead." the man on the horse replied. "Go check." he told the man in leather armor. "Yes Sir.". The man in leather armor started walking towards me I was scared I wanted to runaway but I didn't have the strength to move anymore. When he finally reached me he brought the torch close to me to get a better look and I looked into his eyes I couldn't say anything because my throat was so dry. He yelled "There is a survivor over here!" This shocked everyone the man was with because they really didn't think they would find one. He came closer to me and picked me up, I wanted to resist because I didn't know what they were going to do with me but I didn't have the strength. When he finally picked me up I passed out not realizing how tired just how tired I was from what little movements that I had made earlier.

POV CHANGE

When I picked up the only survivor we had found the child passed out I thought it had passed away but I could still feel it breathing. As I was walking back towards Sir Creast the knight I served. "Milord there is a survivor a small child." He looked at me then at the child and side "At least someone still lived after this mindless slaughter, But I don't if the child will want to live after living through seeing everyone you knew being killed in front of them." When I heard this from Sir Creast I looked at the child in my arms and side "What do we do with them then Milord?". "We take the child back and hand the child over to the orphanage of course.". "Yes Milord as you command." Sir Creast nodded and then yelled for the other men to put all the bodies in a pile instead of a light. When that was done he turned his horse around and yelled "Move out!" we all got into formation and started marching behind him on our way back to the fortress.
