AFTER A FEW HOURS
AT ELLA'S POW:
I managed to get far away from a castle until the wagon driver took another break. I got out of the wagon and walked quickly away. I have no idea where I am right now, nor how I am going to return home. I managed to grab a few of my things, and that is good to know. I started looking around, and I have realized that I am in the old town. I have no idea where I am, but I must find shelter. I kept walking and after some time I noticed a small, half-broken wooden hut. I walked closer and saw a small boy fishing close by. I walked closer to him and smiled slightly.
-Hello.-I said with a shy tone.
-Hello, madam.-Boy said.
-Do you live there?-I asked and pointed at the hut.
-I do. I live with my older brother.-Kid said.
-I came here today, and I was wondering if you two could let me spend the night here.-I said.
-I think my brother will let you. Our hut is half torn, but we don't mind having guests.-Kid said, and I nodded.
-Maybe I could help you?-I asked.
-If you know how.-Boy said.
-It is easier if you have bait.-I said.
-What is bait?-Kid asked with a confused tone.
I looked at him a bit confused. Probably it is normal since I am from a different world.
-Bait is something you put on a hook. Let me show you.-I said and placed a bug on a hook before starting fishing. It did not take me a long time to catch a few fish.
-You are good at this, miss.-Kid said.
-Call me 'Bella'.-I said.
-I am Noah, and my brother is John.-Noah said.
-Nice to meet you two.-I said.
I helped him to catch a few more fish, and then I saw another boy walking closer to us. He looks like pretty worried when he saw me. He quickly walked closer to us and hid his brother behind himself.
-Who are you? Stay away from my brother.-He said with a mad tone.
-Brother, she lost here. This girl helped me to catch some fishes.-Noah said and pointed at the basket full of fish.
I watched how that boy calmed down and sighed.
-I am sorry. I left Noah for a while, and I would be dead meat if something had happened to him.-John said.
-I understand everything.-I said.
-She doesn't have where to spend the night.-Noah said, and John looked at me confused.
-I came to this town today. I am sorry if I am bothering you, but maybe I could spend the night at your home?-I asked.
-What do you mean?-John asked.
-She does not have where to spend a night. Also, she has thought me how to catch more fish.-Noah said, and John sighed.
-I am only doing this because you have saved my little brother.-John said and smiled.
-Thank you so much. My name is Bella.-I said and smiled.
-I am John, and you probably already know my brother, Noah.-John said.
-Please fallow us inside.-Noah said, and I followed them into their small hut.
When I walked inside of their hut, I have realized that is really small. It has only a two rooms, where one was turned into the kitchen and another one into the living room and bedroom. I looked around and noticed a small sofa and two beds.
-It is small, but we do not need much.-John said.
-We only need enough to survive.-Noah said.
-I understand that. Can I cook that fish for dinner?- I asked.
-I do not mind.-John said.
-Can I watch you?-Noah asked.
-Sure.-I said and smiled.
It was a simply cooked fish with a bit of salad. After all three of us have finished eating, I placed my backpack on the bed and checked my stuff. It was a small amount, but It was the most important stuff I could take before leaving that castle. It was a water bottle, some food, clothes, a passport from my previous life. Also, there was some perfume bottle and my beauty products. I laid down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
--After a few hours--
I was sleeping on the bed when I heard a strange sound coming from the door. I opened my eyes and heard a loud sound outside, and I got up from the bed quickly. I hid under the bed and then I heard how someone opened the door. I saw how a few armored men walked inside.
-What do you want?-John asked.
-We came for a rent.-One of the man said.
-I already paid!-John said.
I watched how the guard pushed John to the ground before breaking a few things inside. I could not take anymore what happening to me, and I quickly stood up. I saw how they noticed me. I watched how one of them grabbed me and grinned.
-You are going to be perfect for our king.-One of them said.
-I am not going anywhere!- I said.
I suddenly felt how someone gripped me tighter, and I tried to struggle. I heard John's and Noah's voices, but my vision started to get blurrier. I felt how John tried to pull me close and last thing I heard a thud. I am sure that one of those 'guards' conked John out. I tried to struggle, but it took less than a few moments before I lost consciousness.
