"Miss... are you okay?!": mysterious man
A man came to my rescue; he was wearing a metal armor that looked very heavy.
He also had a sword with him, a bow and arrows.
"Thank you ,if you hadn't help me .... ;I don't want imagine what would have happened to me!"
"My savior,what is your name ?"
"My name is-,please forgive me but I cannot tell you my name ,for now, but you can call me "knight"":man
"How can I repay you? , please tell me ; money, fame, power.... just ask and I will give it to you"
"There is no need; I acted according to my honor": Knight
.....
"However, if I may ask you.... what is a young and beautiful lady like you doing in the middle of the forest?": Knight
"*ehm*I was traveling with my carriage to my abode, until,suddenly we were ambushed by bandits; me and my servant- .. *gasp! *OH MY GOD!... AMÈLIE! , I must immediately go back to her-!"
"Wait!,Miss...?": Knight
"Le-*ehm*,I mean , L-Lucille, my name is Lucille"
"Well, Miss Lucille come with me, it is dangerous to go around alone in such a place and in your condition many men could take advantage of you": Knight
In the hurry to return to Amèlie, I forgot that I had the lower part of my body exposed, I was embarrassed.
"Here, take this ;I ask you to forgive me, I understand that it is little...but I think it is enough to cover": Knight
"Thank you ;would you be so kind as to give me a few minutes?"
"Yes, of course ":Knight
The knight, once he gave me his red cloak, went away to get something.
Taking advantage of this, I began to search the dead bandit to see if he had anything on him that could give me a clue as to who wanted me dead.
I started searching in every single pocket of the pants and jacket and after some time i found something :a letter.
I grabbed it and hid it in the corset; I immediately picked up the cloak and tied it around my waist.
*hiiii*Neigh of a horse
The knight, this time , had returned riding horse, a beautiful black equine.
"Come here, i'll help you get on ": Knight
And so we rode back together to the place where the ambush had taken place.
....
---30 min later-----
Once there, apart from a broken-up carriage, there was nothing else; the bandits had fled.
There was no trace of Amèlie either.
"AMÈLIE, WHERE ARE YOU?!!! ..."
"Maybe she hid!?" :this was a possibility I couldn't leave out;
So i started looking for her in the thickest part of the forest.
*Clomp-Clomp*...
*Clomp-Clomp*...
*Clomp-Clomp*...
"AMÈLIE ! , WHERE ARE YOU? ... PLEASE ANSWER ME!"
---10 minutes later---
The more I walked, the more i was loosing hope in seeing her , "if they kidnapped her!?": I couldn't help but formulate more hypotheses.
---20 minutes later---
After minutes and minutes spent searching for her, finally I saw something; a strand of red hair with a blue ribbon stick out from behind a tree.
"AMÈLIE!!!..."
I ran to see if it was really her,...and she was.
"*gasp! *Amèlie , what did they do to you !!?" ;
If it weren't for her unique hair and familiar clothes I wouldn't have recognized her:
Her face was unidentifiable, her body full of bruises, her clothes torn, blood was coming out of her nose ,her fingers were broken;
Her face was so swollen that it keep her from breathing easily ;she was struggling to catch her breath.
...She was a mess.
"*sob-sob*AMÈlie! ... plEAse.. F-ForGiVe Me.. *sob sob* .. it'S aLl My faULt."
"*pant-pant*No, that's not true .... my lady... ;*pant-pant* I swore to p-protect you*pant-pant*:Amèlie
"They tried to make me talk but I didn't- .... *cough-cough*: amelie
*sob-sob*....
*sob-sob*....
*sob-sob*....
..
"*Anf-anf*.. please don't cry my lady *anf-anf*: Amèlie
*sob-sob*...
"*gasp-gasp! * My lady .... I'm cold; please promise me one last thing..: Amèlie
*sob-sob*
"*gasp-gasp! * swear to me that you will always live every day with a smile and to never let your heart be filled with hatred;
be happy-*anf anf*":Amèlie
*sob-sob* I couldn't speak, it was like I had a "knot" in my throat;
So,I shook my head.
"*gasp!* well,...now I can rest peacefully.
For me it was an honor to serve you, if we were to meet again in the next life, I would redo it again .... ; thanks you for everything...
....
....
...."
Amèlie got quiet ,and..
...her heart stopped beating.
"*sob-sob*NOOOO! NO. NO.. NO, PLEASE WAKE UP, DON'T LEAVE ME... I BEG YOU...*sob-sob*"
I begged and begged her to open her eyes ; it couldn't end like this!,
I was desperately calling her, but it was in vain.
If talking to death was possible, I would have implored her to bring her back to me.
..
...
Mine was an anguished, sobbing, suffocating cry; the suffering I was feeling was unbearable.
I felt like as my heart was being pierced by a thousand needles.
The man who followed me to make sure I wasn't attacked again, was looking me with pityful eyes,
Soon my pain turned into hate.
"*sob-sob*knight please tell me what should I do now?! , tell me I beg you; I should go on living as if nothing had ever happened, or what?! *sob-sob*"
The knight approached and squeezed me in a warm embrace and stroking my hair, he said:
"Miss, you are free to do whatever you think is best to do , but if you ask for my opinion ;pretending like nothing had ever happened doesn't make the pain go away , it worsen it; also you can't keep being a weakling.
Let me ask you a question: according to you ,what party do you think is the most fortunate... the executed or the executioner? ".
....what i'm trying to make you understand is:"Don't let the other continue in taking advantage of you" , you should start biting with your fangs, so that the other can't keep hurting you."
....
*silence*....
....
"Was he suggesting me to get revenge?";
I was confused, his embrace was so warm, his voice reassuring and comforting, but his words were cold and sinister.
...
...
With the help of the other knights, Amèlie's body was brought back to the villa;
And there,after a few days her funeral would had been held.
