Chapter 2

My eyes fixated on his huge body. His face was not elvish like the rest of the boys here, but he had the aura of an High Elf. He was a new commer in the village I lived in, and all the girls were staring at this beauty, and so did I. He had long, black hair down to his waist and his face was strong. He couldn't be more than 20 years old though. Dressed in all black and carrying two big swords on his back. He went inside the Inn.

Andarana nudged me, whispering that she wants to go home. She didn't feel comfortable around that man I could tell. Who would? New comers weren't often appreciated in this village but, apparently, he was. I told her to run home, and so she did. Some of the other young girls had done the same thing. There were about nine girls heading to the Inn, and I was one of them. I let my long, red hair fall down on my shoulders. Maybe I was over dressed this night, damn it. I was wearing a black velvet robe with silver details. The others? Simple pants and a top.

I walked lightly inside, trying not to make big sounds after me. He was sitting by a table close to the bar, his long dark hair all covering his face. Ignoring the other girls, I walked up to the bar and ordered a glass of water. He didn't look up when I sat down on the chair next to him. I eyed the other girls that had not had the courage to go there, and smirked at them. Wow, they really must hate me, I thought."Hello there" I said cheerfully.He removed his hair from his face with one hand and smiled at me. That smile made me go dizzy. I couldn't believe there was people that beautiful. "Good evening", he said. His voice was so dark, almost didn't fit his beautiful face."So what brings a warrior to this little town?" I asked, staring him down."Warrior?""You look like one, sir. I just assumed.""I guess..." he answered. I pointed at his swords lying on the ground next to him. Gosh, I felt like such an idiot. Stop pointing, Lin, stop pointing! "Yeah, you are right", he said."I am Linaah by the way."He smiled again, nodding. "Pleasure to meet you, young Linaah. My name is Blake Aroth.""Nice to meet you too, Blake. Wow, what an unusual name around here. They are all called Karodi here or something like that." I giggled.He laughed at that, moving a hand through his dark, beautiful hair.

I stayed up late that night, talking to Blake. When the bar closed, he welcomed me to his room. He asked alot of questions about my life, if I liked it here and such. I didn't mind talking, and he seemed to enjoy watching me ramble on about stuff. We stayed up talking till the sun rose, and he kissed me good bye. I walked slowly back to my house just outside the town, careful not to fall. Even when I thought of him, I had gone dizzy. When I got home, I told Andarana all about my night with the gorgeous Blake. He was friendly, but Andie didn't believe me. Bleh, screw her. Jealous little kid.

It was when I was going to buy water that it happend. I walked away from the inn, taking a detour through the forest. I heard footsteps behind me, and I turned around. Eight girls spreaded around me, each of them holding small daggers. It was the same eight girls that had tried to walk up to Blake last night, but failed because of me. "May I help you, ladies?" I asked, fearing what might come next. None of them said a word, just stood there in silence, watching me. Then one girl raised her arm and threw the dagger at me. I was too afraid to move, and the dagger hit my leg, making me fall down on my knees. I then remembered something that my mother had told me: Girls would do anything to get a man. The other girls moved silently towards me and raised their hands. Nothing but pain came.

I woke up in someone's arms. I couldn't quite tell at first, but I remembered the voice. "Stay with me, Lin", he whispered. "Don't you dare die on me here!"I moaned in pain and opened my eyes. He had been crying I could tell. He kept whispering soft words into my ear, reassuring that I would be all right. How could that be? All I felt was pain. Pain... that somehow felt nice all of the sudden. His cold body was pressed against mine, and it felt... nice? Yeah. It actually did."Hello beautiful" he said when he noticed that my eyes were open.I opened my mouth to speak, but couldn't manage to get a word out."Shh, you're going to be all right. Just stay with me, okay?"I nodded and looked down at my body. How could I still be alive?! I had deep cuts in my stomach and my legs. Blood kept pouring out and I immediatly looked away. Blood made me feel uncomfortable. Then pain shot through me. I wanted to scream but I couldn't.I turned my eyes towards him, and he was watching me, smiling when I was in pain. When the pain suddenly stopped, he turned my head down for me to look at my body.

I had been fixed. My body was healed, and it showed no scars from the deep cuts I had just had a few moments ago. How could this be...I looked at him. He was still smiling. I opened my mouth and shockingly, I could talk now. "What just happend?" I asked. My voice was the same, thank the lord. Then he explained it all to me. I was surprised I did not cry or yell at him to kill me. He had that power over me. But then again, I would be with him for as long as we both shall live.When he finished talking, I told him

"I want to bring my family."
"Yes?"
"Yes."
"Let's go get them then, beautiful."
