Terror Beyond Dark Hills-chapter4-Carina

“Children, children, follow me, come here!” Alice shouted at the crowd. The splashing of the armed men marching towards them on the shores of the lakes came closer and closer. Clashes of swords against swords. The sound of screams, men and women. Chris jumped to his feet with his sword in hand. The thoughts of him gathering people to their freedom filled his head as he fought the armed men. All their hopes and dreams, shattered, and an overwhelming guilt fell upon him The clink and clank of his sword hitting against the men’s chest plate, the screaming and shouting made him want to break down and cry. “I won’t give up, not for my fellow people who believed in me! Don’t give up!” Chris shouted. Alice with all the children at her sides began to cry quietly. She turned the sword to where she could see her own reflection on the sword. “What have I done!” She repeated looking down. Just then a small little girl put her tiny hand in hers and looked up at Alice and smiled. Just then a man with a chest plate appeared from the side. “So we meet once again miss.” The young man said removing his mask. Alice looked up at him and anger filled her heart. The young man from the cave with the green and gold robe stood before her. She looked past the man, the enemy slaying her friends and falling to the ground, the screaming. “So we do, and may it be the last time you ever see anyone or anything again.” Alice said. Just then the man drew his sword and pinned it into her stomach. “Well now you don’t have to worry about that miss, you won’t see much of anything of anyone anymore yourself.” He grinned and turned to the little girl who was still holding Alice’s hand. “Come here little girl.” The little girl scared walked slowly towards the man. “Now that’s a good girl.” He drew his sword again he placed it on her neck and grinned. Before he could kill the poor child Alice drew her sword and pinned it into his chest. He looked up, his eyes became watery, and a tear slowly rolled down his cheek. “What have you done to me?” The young man slowly fell to the floor as his green and gold robe slowly turned a dark red. Alice fell to the floor gasping for breath.
