Escaped By Force
830 Words
My mind keeps on spinning as both the thought of how to escape and the thought of Richard engulf my mind.
If I can only find a way to get Richard and we both set out on an adventure. It could be nice... Right?
I wash the dishes in complete silence and agony as I could feel the day come to an end and my twenty ninth birthday begin in pain and struggles.
No one even dares to marry me, and I don't want it.
I wash and rinse and placed them back in their rightful place again.
I feel like I'm not alone. Someone is here.
I rinse my hand and held unto the handle of the dagger in my warriors belt and felt the sensation become stronger.
I soon hear footsteps that makes the wooden surface creak.
Is it Kyle? Why is he after me like this? If it's him.
My grip strength increases as I held on tight to the dagger cause the sensation is getting stronger.
"Hiya!" I yell as I swing the dagger, preparing to stab the person behind me.
Though, I stop abruptly at the sight of something. Someone.
It's the guy with the olive eyes.
"Wh-What are you doing here?" I ask slowly as I step back and pulled him up to his feet.
"I came here for you" I hear his soft and deep voice at the same.
My eyes don't leave him as we stare at each other. Him making eye contact with me, makes me feel nervous and dubious.
"Why me?" I ask after few seconds of silence.
He frowns.
"You gotta ask that to your conscience if you wanna know that, now let's go"
Already? He's been bossy?
"No... " I say and he paused but don't look back.
"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me where you want to take me to"
He sighs and shake his head, mumbling curse words under his breath as he turned to face me.
"It's no big deal. All I need you to do, is to follow me... "
"There must be an interest, or at least, tell me why you want me for I persist.
He stares at me and then took three steps towards me.
His mouth open but soon shut down when the door to the chef's house open and in came Kyle and his g**g with three to four elders.
They all stared at me in surprise as their eyes diverted to the Olive coloured eyes guy.
"What are you doing, Taryn?"
I am in deep trouble.
I slowly straightened up but no one allows me to as spears from different directions came after I and the guy.
That thought that maybe I am having an affair with him or probably blurting out all the secrets of the warriors.
Even after living for twenty nine years, they still don't get me.
"It's not what you think" I yell but it all fall on deaf ears.
"You abandon the heritage and law of your land for a fool!" One of the elders yelled.
What I tell ya! They'll start their yells and never allow me to finish my explanation.
I took steps backwards and they all followed suite in taking steps towards me.
"Prove it, Taryn. Step back and let the guy die in our hands" Elder James, said.
I stare at the old man and then at the olive guy.
This guy owes me a serious apology if I am to go back to him.
And it can also be an escape route for me. I might finally go and stay with Richard and help him to get out of the b*****e of those two guys.
I stare at him and his expression still remain the same. No smile or a face of pleading or even apology for what he have placed me in.
I then turned to face the Elders and Kyle with he three others.
"I-I'm s-sorry sir... " I start.
I want to leave this molestation park and head on with the remaining one year of my life.
"But I have to do this"
I quickly ran upto the guy and grabbed his hand, pulling him out of the room.
"Get her!"
They can't get me. Even the person who yelled know that.
We both fled out of the room and headed out of the kingdom.
All the gates were still open and I and the guy managed to get out of there before the elders ordered for them to shut it tight. Too bad.
My legs started shaking gradually as I came to a halt and looked around with my dizzy feeling eyes.
I can't go further. I won't go further.
That's a decision I made before I dropped on the ground and rolled down a sloppy area, seeing nothing but darkness.
