The little girl behind me gripped the skirt of my dress tightly, visibly frightened. Holding the little girl, I take a few steps back slowly. The brawny men were looking at us with wicked stares. Their kind disgusts me to the core. They took steps towards us stalkingly. ’Good thing I had concealed a knife in my dress.’ I thought. With these two men, I am confident that I can win this fight with some use of my self defense and magic skills. I slowly put my hand inside my dress’ pocket and found the hilt of my knife. I gripped on it hard, calculating what moves will I do once the two men attack us. "That’s as far as you go." I hear a familiar voice. Then out of the blue, Philips was in front of us. Shielding us from the men in front. "And who might you be?" The big man asked menacingly. “Are you a knight and shining armor, ready to save the damsel in distress? Hihihi." The skinny guy asked and laughed wickedly. "As a matter of fact, I am." Philips said with a voice ice cold
"I would like to say thank you once again, for helping Lucille." Maria, Lucille’s mother said. "If you need anything, here is my address. I will gladly give the help I am able to give."Maria gave me a piece of paper. The address was also in downtown. "I have a store there that selles antiques and second hand stuff. My husband is the one managing it." Maria explained. "Please feel free to visit us anytime." "Yes visit us." Lucille chimed. "Let’s play again, big brother Phil." "If we have time, we will come to visit and play with you Lucille." Philips patted her hair. "Then we will be going ahead." I said with a smile. "See you again Lucille, Maria."Phillips and I started to walk away. "Please take care in your way." Maria said while waving her hand. "Let’s play again big brother and sister." Lucille yelled.Phillips and I walked along the streets. I looked at him our of curiosity. "I never knew you were good with kids." I said. "You know that I am the eldest of us six sibling
’I can feel a malicious intent.’ Snow told me. ’What do you mean?’ I asked Snow telephatically.Snow jumped down from my embrace. She hissed towards a dark alley."Who is there?!" Philips was alert. He could feel the evil intention in the air. He made a defensive stance in front of me, holding the hilt if his sword.Slowly, men came out from the dark alley. At least two dozen men with malicious intent surrounded us from the front.Then I saw the two brawny men from this morning. They were the ones that attempted to kidnap Lucille."We meet again missy." The skinny man from earlier said."They were the kidnappers from earlier." I said in a hushed voice to Philips. "It’s good we found you at last." The big brawny man from earlier said. "Boss, she is the one we told you about."A man with authority within the group was at the center. He looked at me directly. Philips saw this and used his body to block me from their view."Indeed, she looks like the one." The boss said. "Girl, you are
(Ragnar’s POV)I was in the office located at a temporary courtyard given to me for my stay here inside the palace.I was sitting behind a desk with a stock pile of papers on top. I give out a sigh of boredom. ’How I wish I am with my beautiful Isabella, doing naughty things to her.’ I thought.Then I remembered the night of our engagement party. The memory of my beautiful fiancee underneath me. Her warmth radiating all over her body. The intense kiss we shared and the intimate things we have done, was so clear on my mind.Unknowingly, a smile crept on my face while I was remembering those naughty things with my beautiful Isa."Ahem." Kyler coughed. I totally forgot that he was with me inside the room. "Your highness, it would be best to finish your work fast so that you could spend the rest of your day with princess Isabella ." Kyler said respectfully. "Why do I need to do this, even though I am outside of the kingdom? Can’t father get one of his other sons to do this paper work?"
Five men encircled around me with weapons in their hands. They might be thinking because I am just a weak girl, only five men will do to capture me. ’Well they are wrong with their assumptions.’ I smiled internally. "Come now Princess, we don’t want to hurt you. Just put down the knife and be a good girl and come with us." The skinny man said with a sinister smile. "You must think I am stupid! I won’t go with you peacefully. I would rather die than be enslaved by the likes of you people!" I shouted with anger. "Hahaha, then suite yourself. Men take her, but remember not to damage the goods." The skinny man laughed.The men then launched their way right at me. I was ready for their movements and calculated my movements to dodge their attack.One of the men launched in front of me. I side stepped swiftly and hit him at the spot on his spine just below the head with the hilt of my knife. The man became unconscious instantly. ’Good thing I was able to learn the weak spots of the body
A sword was sticking out of the man’s body. Blood oozed out from his wound and not long the man dropped down dead on the floor.A dark silhouette was seen walking towards us from the dark alley."W-Who is there?" The boss asked, clearly frightened. "Show yourself!"Then I hear a hawk’s shriek. When I look up, a big hawk was flying above us."It’s Avatar ." My heart felt at ease in an instant. ’That’s good. Because I am at my limit.’ Snow exclaimed.When I looked at my side, the big white tiger was no more. In it’s place was a white snow cat. "How dare you harm my fiancee." It came from a voice I am so familiar with.The dark silhouette stepped out from the darkness of the alley, the light from the street’s lamp post hit his body.There I saw him, Ragnar. He was holding the sword that had just pierced thru the man just now. The blood was dripping from the sword’s blade.Ragnar was walking with calmness. His eyes were staring like daggers, ready to pierce anyone in his way. He was emi
By the time I noticed, the boss was a few meters away from me. I quickly stepped back and between us, I made ice spikes that shoot up from the ground. "Aaahhh." The ice spikes impaled the boss’ body. He cried out in anguish and pain.The boss’ blood trickle down the floor. It seems like he was still alive but barely. His breathing was getting heavier by the second. "Y-You...are....monsters." The boss coughed out blood.“Who are you calling a monster?" Ragnar was now in front of the impaled boss. "Compared to you that takes innocent lives, we are the lesser evil." "Hahahaha." The boss laughed while blood was spitting out of his mouth. "At least... I will take that girl with me in death."Ragnar and I were surprised with his words. I can see Ragnar looking at me with wide eyes. "Isabella, behind you!" Ragnar screamed in fright.By the time I heard his words, I quickly turned around. I see the brawny man this morning behind me, his sword in the air ready to swing towards me. I was la
[Isabella’s POV]I open my eyes and see that I was now inside my room, lying on my bed.With only a dim light illuminating my room, my eyes adjusted it’s sight to the darkness. That was when I saw a shadow at the corner of my room.My heart felt like it leaped out of my chest in fright. After my encounter with so much death earlier, I was still jumpy. "Do not worry, it’s only me." It was Ragnar’s voice. After hearing his voice, I sighed in relief.Ragnar stepped out from the shadows, the dim light illuminating his body. He was wearing his casual white shirt and black pants. What caught my eyes was his face. He wasn’t wearing his signature silver mask. His beautiful face was out in the open for me to behold.Ragnar’s clean appearance now is a very far difference from earlier from the blood soaked ’Death.’After Ragnar stepped out from the shadows, he stopped just a few feet away from my bed. He was not coming near me. I look at his face and it has a trace of uncertainty and sadness.
