My heart was beating out of my chest as i ran for my life. A few houses lit up from the commotion and stopped to look out there widows to see me, or a strange figure to them getting chased by a dozen guards. Great. Just great. I could hear them getting closer or I was slowing down, neither was good at the time!!!! I finally came to an alley and hid his in some sacks of flour and gunk. Ew. ( see the connection here?) I waited and saw them pass the alley completely.
"Phew...." I slowly sat up and dusted myself few of flower.
" I have to be more careful...stupid guards. " I grumbled to myself as I got my sacks and headed the long way home. I trudged through the tall grass if the fields and saw cows graze and owls eat mice. So sad...
All I want right now is to see my dad, eat some soup, and rest. Ugghhh so much work. I stopped. It won't be safe to go home....they could follow me. I stared at the blue moon and back at the ground. Guess I'll set up camp , Ya, no blankets, no food, just the grass, night and I. I said laying down. My necklace glowed white again. I touched and fiddled with it in my fingers as I wondered where I got it from again. My dad said I got it when I was born and he bought it for me, but I don't believe it. He said my mom was just a peasant like us and died of the plague when I was a few months old.....I guess that's logical. But something inside me tells me it's not right... As I though of this my necklace just grows brighter. I snapped out of my daze and looked at the gem.
"What are you trying to tell me....I don't speak light. geez. " I said laying back down. Then my necklace grows bright red like blood. I took it off and stared at it.
"What the heck??? It's never done this before...why?" I gripped it in my hands and concentrated.
"Tell me...tell me what's wrong I can help ....just tell me..."
Then an image was scribbled in my mind
It was my dad. There was a knock at the door so he went to open it....soldiers...no...no no no! My eyes shot open and tears rimmed them. "Dad! " I hurried though the grass and I didn't care if it's blades me cuts on my arms and legs, my dad ...he cant be ....he cant!
I saw my house in the distance , it's lights were on and it seemed to be silent. I didn't care who saw me walk into it, my dad was more important. I slammed open the door and scanned the room in fear for the worst.
"Dad?! Dad!! Dad where are you!!" I yelled though the small hut. He wasn't here...
I fell to my knees are tears streamed down my cheeks.
"N-no....no...no no no...this can't happen, not now...I need you father, I need you..." I said through tears. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up. I felt as if my soul fell out of my body.
"Hun? You ok? What happened?! " my dad said.
I got to my feet and hugged him tight not letting go. If the soldiers didn't kill him my hug would. I let go and looked him in the eyes.
"D-dad I though y-you were t-taken by s-soldiers...my necklace...it t-told me- " I was cut off by him hugging me.
" My sweet tori , I'm not going anywhere....no soldier will take me or you, that will be over my dead body. " He said reassuring me.
I embraced him again and cried into his shoulder, soaking his shirt.
-Soldiers pov-
I watched as the figure left us in the dust. I was panting so hard , being a soldier is a terrible first job I'm just saying. The other men gave up and headed back to the castle but I decided to take a patrol and maybe get a glimpse of the thief. I got so much more. As I was walking I stumbled upon someone running , it was that thief! It ran and ran then went into a house...I think I was its house! I saw though the window that it began to call out someone...I couldn't make out who then began to cry, I almost felt as for him...I think it's a him. Girls can't be thieves....endless they steal your heart then that always happens. A man came out and hugged him and think I saw enough.
"Imma get promoted !!!! Take that Larry! " I whispers to itself happily as I looked at where I was and quickly turned around and ran back to the castle. That thief won't get away this time...Now it'll be time take take out the trash.
