Attacked

Chapter 3

In the human realm…..

In that night, Flaira felt anxious for no reason as if something bad is about to happen.

She look at the time in at the clock near their bed. It's eleven o clock already.

"Mother, I'm thirsty" Flaira said to her mother who is about to sleep beside her.

"Just drink don't disturb me" her mother replied.

Flaira scratch her head before she head out of their room. She looks for a glass and pour water from the kettle. But before she could drink it, she heard loud noises outside of their house.

In their village every night all of the residence will always turn off their candles. So you cannot see any light from other people's homes. They also do it to conserve because candles are expensive. Commonly no one have the guts to go outside in the middle of the night.

Flaira followed where the noise came from. She peep at the hole beside the window of their kitchen. She was too shocked to see a lot of people holding torches and dragging all the residence of the village.

Their house is a little bit far from the villagers but she can see them clearly because of her unique ability. She see how those people burned the houses of the people after getting them outside. One of the village men try to fight but one of those foreign people killed the man with his sword.

She silently return back to their room and wake her mother up.

"Mother wake up" said Flaira sofly.

"Hmmm…what is it?" asked Freeya dizzily.

"Mother, go to grandmother and grandfathers room immediately, wake them up. There are foreign people who are killing the Villagers" Flaira said nervously.

"What did you say?" Freeya was alarmed with what she heard.

"Now mother move quickly and be careful of not to create any noise" said Flaira.

Freeya followed her daughter's instructions. She goes to her parent's room and wake them up. Just like what Flaira said she also warned them and tell them what they supposed to do.

What Flaira saw was the Elven Soldiers that the Elven Queen send to kill them, the child of her husband to another woman.

Flaira together with her family silently sneaked out of the house but before they even get out, those foreign people is already at their house. By the time they entered their home, Flaira and her family is currently at the back of their house. May be because of old age her grandmother accidentally tripped and the vase near the door is accidentally pulled by her which created a lot of noise.

The Elven Soldiers who are roaming around in their house became alerted.

"The human living here are escaping" shouted by one of it.

Flaira helped her grandmother to stand and run inside the woods.

"Mother move quickly they are following us" Flaira said to her mother.

"Child, I think you can leave us here. We live more than enough within this past few years. We are just dragging the two of you down. Escape now with your mother" her grandmother said while crying.

"Mother don't say that come on we can make it together" Freeya said while crying.

"I'm sorry but I can't continue already. I'm too exhausted" said the old lady. While holding her husband's arms.

Even before they could react they heard footsteps nearing on them.

"Do you think you can escape on us?" said the Elven soldiers.

They surrounded Flaira's family.

"What do you want?" asked the old man.

"Old man we want your life. All of you, our Queen is dissatisfied on this place so she ordered to eliminate all the people living here" one of the soldiers answered while smiling wickedly.

One of the Elven Soldiers hold Freeya's chin "This one is pretty let's make this woman serve us later" added the soldiers.

"Don't eve dare to harmed my mother" said Flaira angrily. She kicked the man holding her mother.

The other soldiers laughed but they were shocked when they see their fellow fly a hundred meters because of the teenage girl kick.

"What the …?" the other soldier reacted.

"This insolent fool" one of the soldiers try to punch her but she dodge on time and kick the others. Those who are not prepared were thrown just like the first one while the others dodge.

"This human girl possess monstrous strength be careful" the other Elven Soldiers said.

They surrounded Flaira and attacked her altogether. Because of her lack of experience in real battle she got cornered by the Elven Soldiers and hit her every now and then. Flaira refused to surrender and injured the other Elven Soldiers. But she is still easily defeated.

Flaira and her family was brought back by the group of Elven Soldiers in the village. There are lots of dead bodies of people everywhere. Others are crying horribly while others are injured.

Flaira was shocked to the core when she saw her friend Leira and Sirina being raped by the grouped of Elven Soldiers.

"What the hell are you doing?" Flaira said angrily. While looking at her friend situation.

"Hey girl be ready you and you're mother are going to be next" said the Soldiers dragging her by her hair before she was thrown on the ground beside her mother.

Her mother hugged her while crying "Please don't hurt my daughter" said her mother.

"This two old people doesn't have any value anymore" said the other soldiers and unsheathe his sword but Flaira grabbed him even before he could slash the two people.

"What a persistent fool" the Soldier kicked her again.

Flaira was severely injured while her mother can't stop crying and hugged.

Before Flaira and her mother could react one of the Elven Soldiers killed the two old people.

"Grandmother grandfather ….noooooooo" Flaira shouted.

"You're too noisy" another Elven Soldiers raised his sword but her mother shielded her.

"Nooooooooo…..mother..." Flaira shouted until her lungs ache. She saw her mother puke blood on her mouth. The Elven Soldier's sword pierced through her stomach. "I'm going to kill you….I'm going to kill all of you! Aahhhhhhhhhhhhh…" said Flaira her heart and eyes is full of hatred and killing intent. Her eyes is blank with emotions but still has the marked of tears. Her body is surrounded by a brilliant light with red and orange energy. Her long black hair changed its color to a flaming red and her black eyes turned blue just like cats.

"What the hell is that?" the Elven Soldiers were terrified with what they witnessed.

"T-this power …" said the other Elven Soldiers struck by great fear that even their bodies tremble.

"This power is very similar to our King. How could this be?" the other Elven Soldier said.

"A human child who possess the power of the king of the Dark Elf Clan is the future heir to the throne" said the shadow guard who just returned. He is in great shocked when he witnessed what happened. He is too late, he just came from his daily report to the King. By the time he returned this is the scene he see.

"You killed my family I'm going to make you pay for it with your lives" she raised her left hand upward and release the fire energy condensed in her hands. "I'm going to burn all of you alive together with the people I care about" the fire spiritual energy burned the Elven Soldiers alive while the shadow guard go to Freeya's side who is lying on the ground with a sword in her stomach.

The shadow guard was shocked when he felt the weak pulse of the King's woman.

He transferred his energy to the woman to close her wound and give her an antidote to the poisoned in her body. The Elven Soldiers sword had poison on it to kill the enemy instantly. It is one of the requirements when they are facing battle or war. But even if he already gives her antidote he didn't know what its effect on humans. This is his first time giving an antidote to a human.

When all the Elven Soldiers present turned into ashes the night goes back into its silence. Flaira remained standing at the middle of all the dead bodies of the Villagers. She felt weak all of a sudden and kneeled on the ground.

"Mother, what am I going to do with my life now? All of you are gone now" said Flaira like a mad woman while her tears keep flowing down to her cheeks. Her hair turns black and her eyes also return to its original color.

"Miss, your mother is still alive'' said a strange voice behind her.

Flaira automatically look at the person who speak. The hatred in her eyes returned "You're one of them" she said angrily.

"Miss, I am your father's subordinate" said the shadow guard respectfully.

"Father? I don't remember that I had a father" Flaira said sarcastically.

"Miss, whether you believe me or not is not important. Your mother is still alive. I already healed her wounds and injuries but she still has poisoned in her body" said the shadow guard.
