Lochfield: The Downfall

I am Leonis.

I woke up from my tavern bed and looked outside the window. i saw children, mothers fleeing the city being chased down and slaughtered by unfamiliar militia. suddenly it hit me, Lochfield was under attack.

i searched for all my possessions, grabbed as much as  i could and rushed out the taverns secret exit the barmaid spoke to me about the night before. as i slowly ventured into the daylight, i stood in awe at the chaos that was in front of my eyes. it was unfathomable. then, i stumbled upon on what appeared to be a little girls teddy. i picked it up, held it a breast, then i knew. these militia  were no ordinary men, they were the minions of joseph hansen. at the moment of deep thought i became instantly surrounded. then 'it' kicked in. the skull on my scythes eyes had started to glow red which could only mean one thing, hell was going to break loose.

Does she love me?

Once Jessie and I arrived at the location of the sword of light we begun to talk. A really deep and meaningful talk. During the talk I was actually hoping that Jessie would tell me that she was being rude to Molly because she was jealous and loved me, but that didn't happen. After our talk I continued to look for the sword. I searched and searched but could not find it. Hours passed and I finally found it. I grabbed the sword and tried to use it but it didn't work. Jessie can over and a light beam shot into the sky. We were happy and excited so much that I hugged her. She mentioned that we should go tell Molly and so we left the little cave and waited outside. I placed my hand on Jessie's, "You know. I'm really glad to go on this adventure with you."
"Me too. If it was anyone else that shot that guard out the front of your house I would have totally ran away and would have been scared of them. But it was you and well-." Jessie said kissing me on the cheek, "I could never be scared of you."
"Thanks." I said blushing and looked at Jessie's eyes. Her lips were so beautiful and luscious in the orange light from the setting sun, I looked down at them. Jessie looked down at mine and we leaned in as I closed my eyes.
"Guys!" A voice yelled from a galloping horse. Jessie and I quickly turned to see Molly hurriedly galloping towards us.
"We found the sword!" Jessie yelled in happiness.
"Good on you." Molly shrugged off as she stopped in front of us, "Lochfield is under attack by the Hansen militia."
"Why?" I said quickly getting up, not letting go of Jessie's hand. Molly begun to explain everything that happened and what the old lady at the little town called Dracshore. Jessie and I quickly got on our horses and rode towards Lochfield. The sun was almost gone as darkness begun to creep over the cliffs not far behind us. We were about a 5 minute ride from where we were and decided to get off and set up the new tents.
"Why are there three?" Jessie yelled, "Sam told you to get two!"
"I thought he said three." Molly replied.
"Please. I will lay in the same tent as Jessie and if you don't mind Molly, you can sleep in the tent next to us. As for the other, oh well." I said trying to sort it out. Molly stormed off and set her tent up and Jessie and I worked on ours. Once we finished the tents the girls went inside their tents and sorted things out as I begun to light some leaves and twigs. Once the flames begun I slowly placed more logs onto the fire. I sat down in front of the fire and stared at the sky. Before long I got my sleeping bag and laid down around the fire. Jessie came out and asked what I was doing. I said I was staring at the sky and that she was welcome to join me. She decided on jumping in my sleeping bag with me and we begun to gaze at the stars. Molly came out and joined us around the fire. Once the sky was half way up the sky Jessie and I went into our tent where she got out of the sleeping bag. She requested I turn around and once I was able to turn around I saw Jessie in a plain white shirt and just undies. Jessie was nice and snug in her sleeping bag when I placed my arm around her and cuddled her.

I woke up in the morning to see Jessie not in the tent. I got out to check where she was to see her drinking from a creek. Molly seemed to be fast asleep as I walked over to Jessie. Jessie looked at me as I sat down. A bunch of Hansen men begun to gallop towards out tent as I quickly sprinted to my tent. I grabbed my quiver and arrows and fired at the men who fell off their horses one by one. A few made it as Jessie pulled them off their horses and Molly rushed out and slashed at some. Before long there were guards laying down everywhere.
"It's time to liberate Lochfield!" I yelled as everyone rushed into the tents. I faced the other way from Jessie as I got dressed. Molly, Jessie and I were all dressed and begun to pack up. Not long after we were riding towards Lochfield.

Lochfield

The whole time I was with Sam and Jessie I felt as if Jessie didn't want me there. Later at night when it was freezing cold I wished Sam was on my horse hugging me rather then being on the same horse as Jessie being hugged by her. At that moment I clicked. Jessie is jealous of me because she loves Sam. Sam asked me to go to town, I replied with that I was fine with that. Upon hearing my reply Sam threw me the map and I rode off towards the nearest town. Day begun to shine over the hills to the north of the town that I was approaching. Something was off about this town. Smoke rose high blocking out the light from the rising sun. I approached the walls as I got off my horse to see guards attacking citizens. A woman and two children came running towards the gate as the two guards killed her and grabbed her children. The guards had an evil smile and pulled their daggers out to kill them. I quickly ran at one guard and slammed my sword into his back. The other guard jumped back and let go of the child he was holding. He drew his sword from his sheath and lunged forward. Countering the attack I swung my blade into his ribs. I ripped the blade out of his side and slammed it through his stomach. A Hansen symbol on the back of the guard stood out. The children stood staring at their mother who was dead on the ground, I asked them, "Where were you going?" The kids just stood there as if they didn't hear me. The girl said, "Mum was taking us to another town."
"I'll take you somewhere safe." I said helping the kids onto my horse. Looking at this town I decided that I had to come back here with Sam and Jessie to stop this war. I got on the horse behind the children and immediately took off to the closest town which was an hour away.

We arrived at the town as I lifted the children off the horse. Grabbing their hand I walked into the towns church. The priest looked at the faces of the children and came to confront me, "What is wrong with these children?"
"Lochfield is under attack." I said before continuing, "These kids lost their mother right in front of their eyes."
"Oh no! Poor children."
"Yeah, but I brought them here to see if maybe you could find them a home."
"Sure I will do." He said as I soon left. I walked over to a shop and asked if I could buy 3 tents and 3 sleeping bags. The clerk said I could and then I traded 34 gold coins for them. Everyone to panic and pack things up over the news of Lochfield being under attack. A woman was hurrying past as I asked, "Why is Lochfield under attack?"
"The reason is because Lochfield and here aren't really under the influence of Hansen's family. Why they are attacking is because they want control. Rumour has it that Joseph Hansen wants control over the world. He even wants a 'perfect' world. In doing so by what I heard, he hired Alonzo Silvio to kill off the Novators, which is your kind." The woman replied.
"Thanks that clears a lot up." I said running to my horse and riding off towards where the others are.

The Sword of Light!

Sam and I rode up to find the 'sword of light' we held hands the whole way there we didn't say a word but it was perfect. We followed the map up to where the sword was located, I was getting tired so i asked if we could take a break. we sat there just smiling for a while until Sam spoke,"where did you go yesterday? when you said you needed alone time"
"I just needed to get away for a little while" I replied.
"From what, you can trust me I won't tell anyone" he pretended to lock his lips.
"Fine" i laughed with a slight smile, "It's just that I don't think molly takes this as serious as it is, I know she is only i year younger than us but-" I stopped and took a deap breathe, "You know what I mean." I really wanted to tell him the truth, I wanted to let him know about how I feel but I just couldn't do it.
"I understand, give her time though, she is just learning like the rest of us. I'll keep looking around, you stay here" Sam went off to keep looking for the sword. I sat there thinking about our talk. Maybe I should have told him the truth maybe he would say he feels the same way but then again what if he doesn't then I would ruin our whole friendship.
"Jessie, i found it, JESSIE come quick!" Sam shouted I followed the sound of his voice and saw him standing there, sword in hand with a puzzled look on his face.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"It's not working, something's supposed to happen." He threw it next to him and sat on a rock, "I don't understand" he said staring blankly. I walked over to the sword to examine it, just as i picked it up a beam of light shot out into the sky. Sam looked up at me with a slight grin but yet his eyes were full of confusion, "It's you." he giggled. I was still slightly shocked from it all. He hugged me with excitement.
"We should go and show molly." Was all i could blurt out
"Umm, yeah okay good idea" Sam said.

A new recruit

I looked at Jessie then at this fox-human girl standing before me, "I am Sam and this is Jessie."
"Hey, I'm Molly." She said towards me sort of flirting.
"Quick! We must take you back to your family and we will be gone." Jessie snapped. I walked over to the horse and hopped on as Molly walked over to another horse. Jessie got up after me and we rode off back to the direction of the town followed by Molly. I turned to Jessie who had her arms around me, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." She said looking away with tears swelling up.
"It's not nothing. Missing your parents but don't want to admit it."
"Yeah you're right." She lied as we approached the town. Molly's mum was standing there as we arrived and quickly ran to Molly as she arrived. The two hugged as I helped Jessie down. I wish I could have held her hand for much longer.
"Thank you so much!" Molly's mum chanted hugging us both, "I will now train you this afternoon."
"Can I join in mum?" Molly asked.
"No!" She snapped.
"Why not? I know everything about Joseph Hansen supporting Silvio."
"I suppose you are just as ready as these two. Very well. I shall train you three how to blend in with crowds and about vital spots." She said before departing. Molly turned to me, winked and followed her mum. Jessie walked off as I stood there, "Jessie! Where are you going?"
"I need some time alone!" She yelled back. Why is she so grumpy? Time passed and the three of us returned to be trained. More time passed, that days later the training has been finished. I remember learning about the Jugular, interesting spot. Jessie and I were saying good bye to Molly's mum as Molly ran in, "Can I join them?"
"I suppose. Keep the sword you have and be careful. You three kids be careful, okay?"
"We will. We promise to look after Molly for you." I said smiling.
"Good. Now off to find that weapon." Molly's mum said as we got onto the horses and rode off. The sun set and the cold begun to freeze us. I told Jessie to get the blanket and wrap it around us. She did and had her arms around me, "Sam, we really need to get tents. I love snuggli- I mean it's okay to have a blanket around us but we also need sleep."
"Yeah. Okay. I'll go into town and you and Molly can check out this place."
"Do I have to? Can't we go and check it out and Molly get's the tents?"
"I suppose." I replied turning to the other horse, "Molly do you mind riding to town and buying two tents and 3 sleeping bags?"
"Not really." Molly replied, "I'll go now. Be back soon." I chucked her the map and she rode off. Jessie held my hands as we rode on.

A treacherous truth

I sat eating breakfast watching my mum strut up and down mumbling something about new recruits not being here. She ignored me when I asked and continued to strut up and down. Dad came in and quickly left shutting the door behind him. I grabbed my phone and followed. Slinging my wooden sword and sheath onto my back I followed him from a distance. He looked back here and then but I blended in with a crowd of a sort then followed him again. Once he stopped I quickly climbed up onto a roof and listened in on the conversation.
"These menaces are getting worse!" A man growled punching a wall, "Silvio is rumoured to be close to the Hansen family."
"What?" Dad yelled, "You mean our nation leader is close to the leader of the Novators?" At that moment I realised dad used the actual name of us fox-human half casts. I am a Novator and I never refer to myself like that.
"Yes. It is also said that he is actually paying them to kill us off." The man said again as the other stood in shock.
"So our leader is paying bandits to kill us off slowly?" Another man questioned, "But why?"
"I'm pretty sure I know why." Dad muttered before saying, "I'm going to go. Talk soon guys."
"Wait." The first man said, "I want you to know they are rumoured to be the cliffs of Aden."
"Thanks." Dad said turning around and sprinting off. I quickly followed him staying out of site before arriving at the edge of the building. He continued to run off as I climbed down and raced home. Luckily I knew a short cut home and arrived just before dad. Mum didn't notice me so I quickly hid behind a wall to hear dad come in, "Martha! The Hanson family is paying Silvio to kill us off!"
"Dirty corrupt politic Nothus! He is up to something and we have to act soon, everything in our world will be lies" Mum yelled. The two carried on as I begun to think 'Corrupt politic? Silvio and the Hansen family are close? How long have a I been lied too? A great man like Joseph Hansen paying Alonzo Silvio to kill my kind? I have to do something about this. Silvio's camp is near the cliffs of Aden which is north-west of here. First I need a weapon.' I sneaked out of my room and into my dads and replaced my wooden sword with his real sword. Quickly I hopped out the window and stole a horse from our neighbour and rode it towards the cliffs of Aden. Tents were everywhere around the cliffs and I begun to search each tent. Every tent has a girl with nothing on but a bra and underpants. Novators were in every tent but it got riskier me searching each tent so I begun to free the girls whilst taking out a few guards with my Dad's sword. The last girl freed and I turned to my horse when a net flew over my head and I was trapped. 
"What a hero!" A man chuckled. I turned to see that it was Alonzo, "Sacrificing yourself for the rest of the girls. Guards! Tie her up immediately. I'm going to have fun with this one." The men dragged me into the big tent and tied each arm and leg to a pole. It seemed like hours when Alonzo entered the tent and begun to strip me of my clothes. All that was left was my bra and my shorts when a girl came into the tent and ran out quickly. This girl wasn't a Novator, she was an elven and seemed to have made everyone in the tent even Alonzo chased her. Soon a boy came in, cut me loose and told me to get dressed. Once I was dressed I walked out the tent to see the human boy fire an arrow straight into Alonzo's neck, killing him. I stood there in shock as every guard was unconscious on the ground and Silvio laying there dead with an arrow sticking out of his neck. The boy approached the dead body and lifted him up. The Elven girl quickly gathered wood a bit to the east of the camp. Alonzo was placed on top of the wood as the girl lit it on fire. "Rest in peace you piece of crap!" The boy said as the two approached.

Trouble far from home

Sam and I rode on the back of a horse for a while as I begun to think back to last night. Guards burst into my room as I laid down on the bed and begun to trash the house looking for Sam. The window opened as I saw a guard climb onto the roof. I quickly raced to the window and climbed out as the other guards left. The guard looked over the side of the building as I quickly hit him in the neck, knocking him out and running back inside. Soon after another guard climb out but soon fall off the side. The guard revealed Sam being on the roof and next all the guards were out side running away from the house shouting at someone. I quickly raced down stairs as my mum grabbed me and held me in her arms. Dad walked in with a map and gave it to me as soon as mum let go. Mum told me to go upstairs and get dressed. She slowly walked up after me with her hands behind her back. Upon getting in my room my mum also came in and watched me get dressed with my back to her. Once I had finished she placed a necklace around my neck and said, "This also has the symbol that is on Sam's cape and is an Elven neck-chocker. On the map given to you locates a location of the sword of light which is yours and a town where a member of our association will teach you a part of our ways. After teaching you she will give you a map to another member and so on."
"Thanks mum. We won't let you down." I said placing my hand on her shoulder, "But I don't know where Sam went."
"Try the forest. Guards won't go in there because of the witches and he knows that." My mum said before continuing, "Also you might want to take Sam's clothes and equipment."
"I will. Thanks a lot mum." I said leaving my room. Soon I left the house and walked towards the forest. Soon day broke when I got close to the forest. I peered closer to see Sam laying down looking at a witch.

I stopped pondering on what happened before when the horse stopped and Sam jumped off. He helped me off and we walked over to a hut which was marked on the map. A fox-human lady was standing out the front worried out the front. Sam walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My daughter had gone missing." The woman stopped, looked at the necklace and continued, "You two are the ones who have come to visit me for training."
"How did you know?" I asked puzzled.
"Your mum sent a message carried by a carrier pigeon but I need help from you both before training you. As I said before that my daughter is missing, I need you to find her and possibly save her. There are Bandits who is lead by Alonzo Silvio and they occasionally take young women, rape and murder them. We have been looking for years and not found them but I have heard about them being here." She stopped and marked and area on the map, "We were going to search tomorrow but you can go and check it out now for your first test. Go!" Sam and I quickly got back on the horse and rode in the direction marked. Once we arrived we noticed a little camp. Sam and I got off a few meters away and begun to run in a stealthy position. We hid behind one tent and Sam quickly ran to another. He signalled it was safe and I begun to run but then he signalled to stop. I quickly snuck back and watched Sam hide behind a tent as two men walked past. I pulled my top down to show more cleavage and walked in there as the two men stood their and watched with their jaws on the ground. "Wow I never knew being on watch would have been this good." One whispered as the both then fell to the ground with arrows in their backs. Sam walked over, took the arrows and we dragged them behind tents. Another man came and saw the blood. He ran towards a tent as and arrow flew straight into his back. Sam quickly ran towards the man and tossed him behind another tent. I approached the tent he was heading towards and Sam followed behind me.

Poor sweet lady.

I laid on the cold roof in the silver light coming off the moon. Thump thump, Bang bang was all I could hear as well as shouting from the guards demanding to search the house. The adrenaline was pumping through me as I wondered whether they would find me. All I could think about was how stupid I was before the guards came. How could I not cuddle up in bed with her or put my arm around her when we were sitting on the roof. I guess maybe I didn't just in case she doesn't love me back and I guess I was just nervous as well. Even if she doesn't love me she isn't nervous to put her arm on my shoulder. When she did my whole body flooded with a warm fluffy feeling and I could not speak for a few minutes. A loud smash brought my attention back to the situation to find a guard climbing onto the roof. I quickly crawled back and hung from the side of the roof away from any windows. The guard approached the another side and peered off. I looked up to see Jessie run up behind him and slam her fist into his neck, knocking him out. She grabbed his body, laid him down and quickly got back inside. I quickly climbed back up and tossed the guards body into a bush which swallowed him whole. A flashback of what Jessie just did popped in my head but I only saw what she was wearing. She was wearing what she was before but without the shorts. I stood there when another guard climbed up and saw me. I quickly grabbed him and tossed him off, I had nothing but a top and pants on. As the guard fell he yelled out that I was on the roof before his voice distorted as his body clumped to the ground. I jumped from the roof into a thick bush hoping that I would not die from the fall. The bush was soft and I was only winded a little bit but I still sprinted away from the house. I didn't look back as I ran when I noticed a horse. I quickly leaped on the back and rode it much further until I was out of the town. The horse and I approached a forest where I got off and tied the horse to a tree. The horse neighed as I laid down on the cold damp ground and slept.

  I awoke to the sun not too far in the sky and my body feeling frozen. The grass was higher then I remember but I noticed someone getting closer from within the forest. The figure bent over me to reveal themselves of being an old lady. She helped me up and asked why I was here with nothing. I told her that it was a long story but she said she had all day when Jessie showed up, "Sam! Don't run away from home. Mum and Dad are worried."
"I'm sorry Jessie. I'll come home now." I said getting up, untying the horse off the tree and walking with Jessie towards the town, "I can't go back!"
"You won't be. It seems I came just in time as well."
"What do you mean?"
"That sweet old lady was a witch." She said as we were out of viewing range of the witch. Jessie handed over the stuff I got yesterday and proper clothes.
"Thanks can I get dressed now?"
"Fine I guess so." She sighed turning as I got dressed and equipped the stuff. I hoped onto the horse and helped Jessie up as we galloped away towards the direction of the sun.

6 hours after twilight.

It was late at night and I was laying in bed looking down at Sam sleeping on the hard floor. I roll over to look at the wall and wished that'd he'd get under the blankets and cuddle me, but then again he obviously isn't interested in me. What am I thinking? Today has been the scariest experience of my life, so far. It was just a normal day except after school when Sam had to be kept behind for making fun of the teacher, which was Hilarious. I ended up going home and waiting for him to arrive home but he was still at school obviously. So I decided to go in and eat. Just about to finish eating I heard a window smash from his house. I decided to finish eating and once I had I ran straight out to bump into a guard who must of heard it as well. He begun saying that Sam's family was wanted but as soon as the guard was going to tell me why an arrow flew from the back corner of the house. The arrow hit the Guard in the neck causing blood to squirt out before the guard fell to his knees. I was so scared and I was about to run until I saw Sam running out holding the bow. He pulled me into my house and I was didn't know what to do; whether to cry, whether to yell for help or act calm. My love for him is too much for me to be scared of him forever so I acted calm. We still held hands as we approached the main room as Sam requested and I begun to hide my blushing face. My mum freaked that we entered when my mum clearly told me not to go in there tonight. The smoke smelt real bad but my mum went off at me for us entering so I explained as much of the situation that I knew of before she begun mentioning that Sam's mum wanted him 'to be one of them.' Sam let go of my hand to give my mum the letter which Sam's mother wrote before dying and then my mum then said he could stay over and I could not hold in my excitement so I smiled so happily. Sam didn't notice but my mum did. I noticed Sam try grabbing onto my hand but my mum was watching so I didn't grab on. Sam and I went upstairs to my room where we begun to talk about today when I asked, "Where did you learn to shoot like that?"
"I don't know. I've never used Bow and Arrows before but yet I got him right where I wanted to?"
"That's weird." I said placing my arm on his shoulder. He paused for a bit and then said, "I know. It's like I was meant to be an archer. Maybe if I wasn't wanted dead I'd be a guard."
"After what I saw today, I'd rather you not be a guard." I mentioned. Begun to talk for hours until half an hour ago when we went to sleep. Now I lay here playing the strange day on loop in my head. Removing the blankets from my bed I got up and walked over to the window. I opened up the curtains and the window. Climbing out I sat on the roof and stared at the moon. Seemed like hours, really was hours because the moon moved 15 degrees in a west direction. Sam crawled on the roof as I looked at him and he looked back at me. I really didn't want him to look at me because I wasn't wearing a bra or make up. Just in a shirt, short shorts and a blanket over my lap. He approached and got under with me. He looked more handsome then usual with the moons light shining upon him and I wished he would put his arms around me, kiss me and never let go. We sat under the blanket together as we noticed a light source getting closer. I grabbed the blanket and hid on the other side of the roof to see Guards approaching this house. I looked at Sam as he said, "Get inside and act like I'm not up here."
"Okay. I love-" I stopped and continued, "I mean, I so love this." I said in a sarcastic voice. I quickly and quietly climbed into my window and locked it. I leaped into bed, took off my shorts so I was only wearing a shirt and undies as usual and covered myself up with a blanket.

The beginning

I turned to Jessie during class and mocked the teacher. Jessie thought it was hilarious but the teacher didn't like it so much, "Stay behind!" Class passed and I sat in my chair watching the teacher explain something to a student before they left. The teacher walked up and started rambling on about how disrespectful it was and BLAH BLAH! I just wanted to get out of there right away but I had to at least be there for the teacher. Who said I had to listen though? Once the teacher stopped rambling I ran out, grabbed my bag and went home. Jessie had already left because the teacher went on for ages so today I was going home alone. I walked through the small town along the stone tiled path home. I arrived home to no answer when I knocked on my door. Time went and the more I knocked but there still was no answer. This begun to scare me quite a lot. Right now I didn't care and needed to get inside so I grabbed a rock and smashed the window of my room. Clearing the rest of the window of glass, I leaped in and opened my door. The sight I saw was all too horrible. My mum was laying face on the ground in a puddle of blood. Tears begun to swell in my eyes as I noticed something odd about her back. I begun to step on items to avoid the blood and lifted her top up to see a tattoo of a riddle. The riddle read, 'search up high, but so low and you shall find the reason why.' Glaring at the tattoo I thought about how it didn't rhyme but then I begun to think about the riddle. Up high must mean the second floor and so I rushed up stairs and begun to search something 'low'. There really wasn't anything that was low and I got so furious and kicked the bin over which pushed the rug over to reveal a trap door. I climbed down it to realise that this is a false room which explains why the house wasn't shaped like it's design. I turned the light on to see a chest, opening it revealed a navy blue cape with a weird symbol on the back, a belt with a pouch which contained stun bombs, two small wrist-guards, leather gloves, a quiver of 90 arrows, a bow, a closed letter and a letter addressed to me. I read the letter which explained a lot including the strange people comings over once a week. The letter also explained how a group including a bunch of corrupted officials and people with power and that they had been onto her for a while. At the end of the letter it told me to deliver the closed letter to Jessie's mum. I slid the cape, wrist-guards, leather gloves, belt and quiver on. I put the bow over the quiver and placed the unread letter into the pouch with the stun bombs. I climbed out of the room concealing it again. Noticing a dagger sheath on my belt I grabbed a knife and slid it in the sheath and raced towards my room, leaped out the window and ran around to the front. A guard was talking to Jessie out the front and asked, "Why were you about to go near this house?"
"Because this is my best friend's house?"
"This house is off limits and all members that live in this house are wanted." He explained as I removed the bow from the quiver, grabbed an arrow, aimed and fired towards the guard. The arrow flew into the Guard's neck as he fell down dead. Jessie looked at the dead body in shock as I sprinted out, ripped the arrow out the neck, placed in the quiver as well as putting the arrow over the quiver, grabbing Jessie's hand and running in her house. She stared blankly at me, "What was that?"
"I don't know but I found my mum dead on the ground and have to deliver a letter to your mum."
"Okay. Even if you are wanted I will always be with you."
"Thanks. That means a lot." I said walking towards the main room of the house still holding Jessie's hand. I don't know if she has noticed that I'm still holding her hand but I don't want to stop. We arrived at the main room to see Jessie's mum smoking and talking with the strange people that came over to my house once a week. She realised we were standing there and came over, "Why are you two here? I told you Jessie to not come in here!"
"Sorry mum but Sam is wanted and has to give you a letter anyway."
"So I've heard." She noticed the Cape, "That cape. I see. You're mum wants you to help us. I guess it is time for you two to help us but right now we are in a middle of serious plans. The letter please, Sam." I let go of Jessie's hand and handed her mum the letter, "You can bunk here for a while Sam. You may need to hide here and there because the guards have begun to crack down and will be searching houses." I moved my hand back to try grasp Jessie's hand but I couldn't feel it, "Thanks for allowing me to stay for a while."


Note- Tethys is the 14th moon of Saturn which I have decided to name the world after.
