Chapter 7

Nikka

"Come on"Sebastian says taking my hand, "where are we going?"I ask them, "you know,to have some fun"Norian says "okay,your idea of fun is getting chased by bakers"I point out, "indeed,but we promised your boyfriend not to get you killed" "he's not-...." "save it for people who are stupid,we see the eyes" "yeah, you've only been here for a while and he's already found interest in you" "oh please,can we get a move on already?".

"Okay, what is this?" I ask looking at the steep hill,it went all the way down, "this is Creeper's Hill" Butch answers looking down, "yeah,so?" I ask, "there are Creepers living in there, we're gonna get them out then have them chase us until they get bored"Norian says before whistling, there were screams coming from below the hill, I saw yellow eyes and very long teeth, "is that them?" I ask backing away, "yup,run!". They're gonna get me killed one day,I just know it. I hid behind a tree, hearing sniffs and shrilling noises, "I know you're there my pretty"a creepy voice says,I swallowed harshly,feeling my body tremble, Jason is gonna kill someone, I got grabbed by the foot, the ugly thing with big yellow eyes, many long teeth and a shrilling voice coming from it, "pretty little thing you are"it says caressing my face,down to my chest, the golden horn peeking out, many others came closer, "where'd that pretty one come from?" "looks like fresh meat", I scream,I scream loudly, "Jason!,help!", Norian and the two closed their eyes tightly, "Jason!".

Okay,I gotta start getting in trouble more often, the Creepers dropped us,I fell in Jason's arms,he was relieved that I was okay but he wasn't pleased that we made trouble with such creatures. "It's the Prince"the one that had me says backing away,they all backed away from Jason,how bad is he?, "return to the darkness in which you emerged"Jason says and they left,quicker than I could process. Jason looked at me then at the other three, "it wasn't there fault,I wandered off and almost fell down there"I say as Sebastian was about to say something, "so they told you what they were?" Jason asks "of course,but I just had to see for myself"I answer,he knows I'm lying but nods anyway, the guards shook their heads at the trio,who shrunk, "okay......then maybe all four of you wouldn't mind spending the night out here then" "wait what?", he got on his horse and left, "Jason!, Jason!", "calm down pretty girl, you're going to kill my hearing some day,women are so loud" "okay",I spanked the horse on it's butt, causing it to run off, leaving him in the fallen leaves,we all laughed at him, "ha ha"Jason smiles, "awe,pretty boy okay?" I ask patting his head, "very funny"Jason says as I continued to laugh at him, the horse came running back to us,it stopped at Jason, "oh look,he's back"I say cheekily,Jason chuckles getting up, I smile to myself, "who's boyfriend is he now?" Butch teased walking pass me,I rolled my eyes, "just friends"I say earning a kiss on the cheek from Sebastian, "watch this.......Jason,do you think it would be alright if I took Nikka's hand in marriage?" Sebastian asks, Jason smiles, "that's if your head would be the main course at the reception"Jason answers, "see,you two have a thing for each other"Norian says, I still ignore them as we walked through the woods,wait a minute, "wasn't it shorter when we were coming out here?" I ask "yes,but that was because you ran"Marco,one of the guards explained,he's always with Jason,him and Cedric,they are always with him no matter where he went. "Oh"I say realizing, "silly girl.....you fail to realize your own destiny" a voice whispered, "did anyone hear that?" I ask stopping, "so first you think we're insane,now you're going crazy?" Butch asks, I did hear something other than the whisper.

I saw a blade headed straight towards Jason, "Jason move!"I yell and he does,the blade only cutting his arm a little,it came right at me, but I caught it in my hand then threw it back, it hit someone, who fell out of the tree, "we should hurry,there must be plenty more"Cedric says hurrying us, before we knew our next step, we were ambushed. "Ugh,my head hurts so bad"Norian grumbled,I sat up,hitting my head on something, "ow"we both say at the same time, "Jason?" I ask "geez,what did I ever do to you?" Jason asks and I punched him, "where are we?" Sebastian asks "by the feels of it, we're in a very huge cage,where's Butch?" Norian asks "here"Butch answers from next to me,it was way too dark to see anything. Lights came up slowly, illuminating the woods, men started surrounding us with spares and swords, "Kruisers"Cedric says scoffing, "oi, a long way from home huh princey boy?"a man laughs, "is it any of your concern?" Jason asks, "well if five men and only two beautiful ladies were traveling,it is my concern"he retorts, "so,tell us,what were you doing here?", Norian spoke before anyone else, "is that anyway to treat old friends Scar?"she asks with disgust,the man stooped closer to the cage, "ah, if it isn't Norian and her two soldier boys",he did have an ugly scar on his face, ehk. "Since we're all hungry and could use some meat, we'll give you one option"Scar says opening the cage, "run", oh come on.

I stopped at a tree out of breath, hearing running and shouting, "oh no"I say continuing my run of death, we all split up,now I'm starting to regret it. I heard a grunt from somewhere and I looked up, seeing Jason's arm bleeding out,he slowed down then leaned against a tree, "Jason,are you alright?" I ask putting him to sit, "I think so, I haven't had one of these in years"he chuckled then groaned when I touched it, "the blade cut deep and for some reason,broke into your skin,and it's going further",I heard the footsteps then the laughter, "go"Jason says.

"I'm not leaving you"I tell him, "please,I want you safe", "oh please, like you're not my hero...... I know you can hear me,hey,I'm not playing your stupid game,my friend is wounded and if he dies,I promise to kill each and everyone of you!" "how do you plan to do that?", I turn around,Scar grabbing my throat, "leave her alone" "or what?, you'll be dead in the next hour anyway,why not watch", his hand slipped down my chest, "ooh,pretty thing you are, I'll have some fun" "don't touch me", I shoved him in the chest and he stepped back, he took a good look at me before kneeling down,they all kneeled,okay,this is getting weird.
