Legacy (Book One)

Chapter Five

You awake in the cold breezy morning, the morning grass was normally wet. Your sweatpants feel soaked. Your eyes adjust and you can see Dante and the young girl awake.

He had a few decks of cards and some other knickknacks scattered on the grass.

He cleared his throat and spoke "I don't think I ever got your name?"

"Erica." She softly said.

He spoke again " That's a beautiful name, and were the people last night your parents."

"No, they were my brother and sister."

Dante nodded his head.

The others slowly began to arise from their sleep. Lillian having a deep yawn, running her eyes. Dakota just simply got up.

Dakota began to speak, "Are we going to find a place to stay old what?"

"While you guys were asleep, I scaled around town and saw an inn." Dante said.

I felt small delicate hands grasp my shoulders. I cock my head to see Erica clinging on to my back.

"Should we head toward the village?" Dakota asked.

We all nodded our heads.

While walking into the quiet town, we seemed to get numerous amounts of stares. I could have been due to our clothing, which was covered in ashes and grass stains.

Dante located the inn, and we made our way inside.

"Oh my, can I assist you of anything?
A young woman behind the counter asked.

"Yes, we need a room. One that could fit all five of us." Dakota told the woman.

She swiftly handed him a key, and pointed us towards the stairs.

"Your room number is 112, upstairs to the left." She told us.

We made our way through a red velvet colored hallway. It was simple, but the paintings felt off putting. I reached over to grab the doorknob, and flung open the door.
