The Darkest Forest
My sword rest on his neck. I could have killed him there. I should have killed him there. After what all he had done to my family. After what he had done to me. I didn’t have enough time to think the situation through. Before I knew it. I was on the ground he had slit my leg and drew swordd and mine on my neck. I let out a shriek and he drew the sword closer and stepped on the wound on my leg. I let out another shriek and this time he stepped harder and spoke.
“Your a girl?”
“Yes.” I said weakly.
“You fight like a warrior, a true man. How did you get so strong”
I removed my helmet and tried to look at my wound.
“Let me go, you ba***rd!” He stepped on my leg and crushed it with all his weight.
“What was that, you little brat!”
“AAH,” came the response with another stuttered remark. “Get off me!”
The attacker whistled and two men came out from behind the trees. He kept the two swords drawn at my neck. The light is dimmed and the trees enshrouded the ground. I just lay there losing more blood. My hearing became muffled.
“Knock her out and then bring her back to our hid out. We will keep her alive, for now.” The attacker says.
The ambusher on the right punched me in the face as soon as the attacker removed sword from my neck.The second ambusher grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder and carried me to their hid out.
When we arrived at the hid out I was still out cold. They pulled up a chair and tied me to it. Tying a bandanna around my eyes. They made a gasoline circle around the chair. I was five feet from an explosive gas. When I awoke the men stood around me waiting for my awakening. I tried to squirm out of the bindings but the man corrected me.
“I would not do that if I were you. Oh, how rude of me, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Aaron. If you continue to struggle I might have Leo here light that match. Oh and Xander here is going to watch you to make sure everything goes according to plan.”
“What do you want Aaron. Why did you murder my family? Why did you take away our land, and banish me from the village? I don’t even know you, or anyone in our village.”
“Calm your self, Beth. Your life rest in my assistants hands here and you don’t want to get me angry.”
“How do you know my name, Aaron! Will you remove this bandanna?”
“Xander.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Xander comes towards me and untied the bandanna. I took my legs and attempted to sweep him off his feet. He jumped expecting the sudden trip. Then he took the shot, that was in his pocked and stabbed it into my arm. Suddenly a feeling of complete strength overpowered me and I attempted to break the ropes. To my dismay I just as suddenly felt numb and couldn't move.
“Well, well, I expected you to do that. I have been studying your every move I know ever secret of your life. I know who you really are. ”
“That’s impossible! How could you know!”
“Nothings impossible, dear. Just not possible for you.”
“Then explain your self!”
“Don’t get to angry there. I don’t have to let you live. And that shot will make you pass out in a heartbeat if you get angry enough.”
“Yet again that is impossible. You can’t have a drug make you pass out because of anger.”
“I guess you have to learn that the hard way.”
“It’s not possi....”
“I told you it was possible.” Aaron replies smugly after I regain conscientiousness.
“What the heck, Aaron. What did you do.”
“Watch your temper, Beth. This could get ugly.”
“Your, right. Can I be untied?”
“Not until. Xander gets his revenge.”
“What’s Xander going to do.”
“Why don’t you ask him.”
“Xander!?”
“First I’m going to inject this serum into your arm. Then I’m going to chip you, and finally untie you.” Xander returned the glance.
“What is that serum going to do?” I asked surprised.
“Well side effects include dizziness, vomiting, and internal bleeding. Oh and it will make it so you are to sick to run.”
“And the chip?”
“Into your neck.”
“For some one who fights really well you ask a lot of questions.” Aaron commented.
“So what’s the price for that?”
Aaron was obviously not amused. He snapped his fingers. Xander took the shot and injected it into my arm. I screamed in the moment after it was over I was in to much pain to scream. I barely had enough intolerance to the pain to whisper something to Leo but, I did.
“Leo, help.”
“I can’t” he replied.
“Traitor.”
“Why?”
“Do you know who you really are?”
“Of course, I’m Leo Barnavict.”
“No, your not just Leo, your my brother.”
“Now that it not possible.” Leo said in disbelief.
“So help me.” I whispered again.
“Don’t just stand their you fool. You don’t honestly believe her do you.” Xander proclaimed with a bit of worry in his tone.
“No, but she did have me in a trance for a second there.” Leo pondered over the idea for a minute and then decided it couldn’t be possible.

The title felt kind of generic, and although I like the plot a lot, the chapters are very short and I feel it would work better as a short story. I look forward to more of you work, though!
Would you mind checking out my novel SuperNOVA and leaving your thoughts on it? Thanks :D
