Chapter 5

"Our crops were doing well a few days ago"a man says to the King,oh come on, I'm called in for this?. "And what happened?" Arabelle asks glancing at me, "at noon,precisely when she was bright in, everything started dying"he finished, hey,that's mean, "thank you,we will see to it that your family is well taken care of"Midas says nodding, a few more came blaming me,they cannot be serious.

"So you see why she has to go,this girl is nothing but trouble"Arabelle says to everyone,mostly Jason, "who are you to make decisions for her?" Norian asks standing up, "yeah, she'd never hurt a fly, the only reason your food is failing is because of the heat" Butch says standing also, "and you're all caught up in your own little bubble and just want her out,well if she's going,so am I"Sebastian says standing, "and I" Jason says walking to stand next to me "well he is my brother,so if he goes,I go"Kira says walking to stand next to me. Arabelle looked me dead in the eyes,she made a promise to me, I felt it, "very well,this meeting has come to an end, the girl is free to go"Midas says, "are you so sure she is not evil my King?", a man walked out to look at me, a chill ran through me when I looked him in the eyes.

He was short and balled, "what do you have to say Forye?" Arabelle asks with a small smile, "this girl has died and risen"he says,okay how did he know that?. "Surely,that's not human force"he says looking at me, "she must go!"a man yelled then everyone started yelling it, I looked at Jason, "I will make sure she leaves for good"Forye says drawing a sword,he started speaking in foreign languages, Jason looked at me and his grey eyes changed a little,he grabbed the man by his throat, "you lay one finger on her,and I will personally end your life, slowly and painfully!"he grits tightening his grip,the sword fell from the man's hand as he gasped, "Jason,let go,I think he's had enough"I whisper,he dropped the man then turned to everyone else, "let this be an example to you all,hurt her and you will be living amongst the dead!"Jason threatened, Midas stood up,he looked pleased with Jason, Arabelle was gonna kill me,I know it.

"I can't believe you did that"I say softly, "I promised to get you home safely"he says kissing my hand then leaving with his sister,who waved, "I like you"Kira smiles "I like you too"I chuckle, if I stay here,I might meet my death for sure. A loud scream woke me up,I jumped out of bed and ran out, the other three were up also, "what's going on?" I ask "we don't know, but let's go"Butch says,we left together,it's almost day light,you can see the sun rising slowly.

We got to the town and saw that almost everything was destroyed,not the houses,goods. Heavy footsteps could be heard,we peeked around and saw a very huge thing walking, "it's the night crawler"Norian says to the boys, "it hasn't been here in months,why now?", I heard a scream,I looked and saw a child,a little girl,the thing was holding her tightly, I grabbed Norian's sword and went out there,"no, it'll kill you!". I don't know how I got the strength to get that little girl out of its clutches,I put her inside a basket, "I'll be back to get you"I tell her,the ugly thing hit me,I flew back into a building, hitting my back,it took me up, I drew the sword then stuck it in its forehead,the sun came up when it fell. "Wow"Sebastian says looking at the dead creature, everyone came out to look, even guards rode in.

"Cloe?" a lady called crying, I remembered something I put in a basket, I opened it then took her out, "Cloe?" I ask and she nods hugging me, "thank you Nikka"Cloe says "you're welcome"I say walking to her Mom, "oh thank you so much",okay,so lotta hugging, "no problem"I smile,Cloe hugged me again and I laughed "see you around"I say and she nods smiling. "The King wishes to the killer"a guard says,I pulled the sword out then put it over my shoulder, "that'd be me"I say walking away with them.

I walked into the room where Jason and his family was,I didn't bow,I just looked at them, especially Arabelle,man I had a thing for her,no pun. "Aren't you supposed to greet the Royal family?" Arabelle asks "oh,like the greeting you showed me when I first got here,up to two days ago,I'm okay"I answer shrugging. "So you killed the night crawler?" Midas asks "yes I did"I answer nodding "that thing has been tormenting my people for years"he says "no one has been able to kill it,but yet you come here and do that"Midas says "I believe you should've stabbed it between the eyes"I tell him making him chuckle in response, "I owe you so much Nikka,thank you"he says touching my forehead then leaving,with his wife glaring at me, Jason smiles, "not only have you pleased me,but you have done my city a great deed,thank you"he says nodding "you're welcome,can I go now,I'm starving" "and to think you weren't like Sebastian" "hey,he's rubbing off on me" "not good......guards, see to it that this pretty girl is safely brought home" "yes your Highness". Wow,I just killed a monster?where has my life gone.

"I mean come on, how did you do that?" Butch asks "I don't know,I just saw the kid and it made me angry"I say "I wish I had your heart, people who wanted me dead are now greeting me as I walk by and I'm happily greeting them back?" Norian says scoffing, "hey,I forgive but I never forget"I say pointing at them. "Right, you better hope he forgives us and forgets about it,run!",we ran through the market place, these kids cause trouble everywhere they go, but this time, we all made fun of the guy, "watch it",I fell on someone, our eyes locking.

"Tyrell, don't, if Jason finds you,he's going to kill you,don't go near the girl!".
