Veiled Vengeance

"Are you going to hate me, little girl?" the man asked with a flat, emotionless voice that made Annica's mouth taste bitter with fear and hatred. Annica remained silent. She just stared at the frozen face without blinking, ignoring his increasingly blurred gaze. The man laughed. "What are you going to do? This is your fate. Accept it." The monster turned his body around and walked away, leaving Annica alone in her cold room. The gust of wind rushing in through the door extinguished the light from the remaining short candles in the room. But Annica could still gaze at the man's back. Tonight, the moon seemed brighter than usual. Tonight, Annica's world split in two. Tonight, the 14-year-old girl lost everything.

Flower And Sword

Annica was sweeping the front side of the building when Brianna came.

"Take this."

Brianna handed a piece of paper to Annica.

"Go to the physician's house and buy me the herbs I've written down on the paper."

"The physician?" Annica asked, taking the paper from Brianna's hand.

"Yes. The physician. You do know what a physician is, don't you? Someone who understands medicines?" Brianna said, tossing a pouch of coins towards Annica and hitting the girl's chest before being caught by her hand. "I heard he lives near the market in the city center and is quite famous for the efficacy of his remedies."

Annica blinked, looking at Brianna. She had never been to the city alone. And honestly, after what happened yesterday, she felt more comfortable inside the building where soldiers roamed everywhere.

"To the city? A-alone?" Annica asked.
