Chapter 1 - Apprehended


"But papa, I want to help, I need to help, you don’t understand" I practically screamed at my papa. Knowing perfectly well what his answer would be even if it’s wrong and unfair.

"No my darling, you can’t join the battle, you’ll get hurt an-" of course the father knew if she did join if she could, because in this time they did not let women in the army, she would not be treated right by the men. Unfortunately she did not know this.

Before finishing his sentence which he always uses ‘you’ll get hurt and your all I have’ I butted in. "You don’t understand I can fight I can defend. I’ve been practicing, and papa you know I don’t belong here I don’t fit in." Well I don’t and I never will, sometimes I even wonder if I am he’s real daughter. I’m not like other girls I don’t wear dresses I wear pants and shirts I hate cooking and cleaning and I love to fight.

"That’s enough I said no and you will fit in like I always say time is the wisest counselor of all, all you need to do is be yourself and you will fit in" papa said calmly. I’ve always wondered how my fathered always stayed calm; I think that’s why he is village counsel leader also the fact that he is really wise helps.

"But . . . oh … nothing fine I’ll stay here" I sigh. How could he do this to me he knows that I love fighting and being in combat that is me not a girl who cooks, cleans and does all that. I’m adventurous this really makes me wonder if he is my real papa and if he is I wonder if he hasn’t told me the truth of his past.

Well as you have witnessed I am completely different from my papa not only I don’t look a thing like him I act nothing like him. Papa always says I am the spitting image of Bethany my mum who died giving birth to me. Anyways my name is Arienne, Arienne Juliet Marien I’m 19 years old and i love to fight.

I have Lush blonde hair down to my shoulders, sea blue eyes which can look almost black when in dark enough light. The palest skin ever seen and unfortunately for me a body that looks like a 16 year old. My attitude is short from calm unlike my father I am quick tempered, feisty, stubborn, out there, well you get the point. But when you do see my kind side which is not often at all, you see I have a pure and loving heart (ha) like that will ever happen that’s just what my father says to me.

So now I’m stuck again here with nothing to do except the usual house work, which I never do instead I just go out and practice combat fighting with long rods and staffs I ‘find’ in shops.

Now I’m on my way again to my secluded area in the forest where no one knows about. As I was practicing for defending myself I here voices in the midst, quickly I prepare myself for the worst (if that was me I would go running and screaming like there was no tomorrow ha).

As they grew closer I could recognize it belonged to a group of men, joking and chatting to them selves. Each of their voices was I kind of low gruff and it sounded as if they were not probably educated. These voices most likely belonged to soldiers; most of the soldiers were poorly educated since they were taken from there home at birth.

"I see we have an intruder among us, look it’s one of poor work girls if a stick (letting out a long cackle) boys want to have some fun?" one of them let out while spotting me, now emerging from the other side of the bushes I could see there was 3 of them. I knew these men were vile and savage men but I wanted to prove to my father I can defend myself.

So taking an attack stance I lunged at one of the burly soldiers making him fall to the ground shocked. Unfortunately the other 2 were quicker and held me down to the ground while feeling me up and down. Knowing what they were going to do me, I head butted one and kicked the other in the groin, now all 3 were on the ground.

But as I was running away the tallest and lean one caught up to me and tackled me to the floor. Trying to undo my shirt I tried wriggle and defend my self the best I can, but it was no use to his strength. All I could think about was I was failing my papa I couldn’t do anything now.

Thankfully one of them was at least some what kind "That’s enough we’ll bring her to the castle and say she assaulted us without reason then we’ll get her without any consequence and she won’t be able to fight back". The burly man who I pushed first said this with a smug smile on his fat ugly face.

"Oh but I like I girl with a punch (cackling while saying this revealing to me his yellow stained teeth and bad breath)" the lean tall one who was still on top of me said with another cackle. But with some hesitation and again feeling me up and down again he pulled me to my feet then over his shoulder, all the while me trying to scream and wriggle free.

I couldn’t tell where we were going, because I never went further than the village and the secluded area in the forest. But it seemed like these soldiers knew all the paths, twists and turns in this forest. The part they were taking me through was very dark and enclosed, it was so enclosed that the soldiers had to walk in one line.

Suddenly we were in the bright light which hurt my eyes for being so long in the shadows of the forest. But when my eyes did focus on my surroundings I was shocked to see the countries castle up in the midst. It was even more stunning then I could have ever imagined, but at the same time it still held creepiness. All I could do was stare and gawk at this magnificent site.

The castle was not standing alone all around it was stone walls probably holding a village or town inside the walls. The castle it self was a creamy beige stone castle with various stains and cracks through out it. All the roofs were pointed with our countries flag on it. Most of the points on the castle were a crimson red lead. The windows were holes in an arched shaped, some had arched doorways to balconies. But the most magnificent part of it was the detail in the carvings on some walls. Each carving was different some were knights, kings, queens, villages, soldiers and battles.

That’s when I realized I was still captured and my world cam crashing back down to hell.
