Loyalty to Revenge
Here is a little bit of my new book, please be HONEST!!!!
Chapter 1
Thwack!
Thwack!
Thwack!
Kiara looked at all three of her targets. Satisfied with her aim, she could now go to the local archer for her next lesson in archery.
Kiara was short for her age, and had the hiding skills of a hunter. Her long black hair made it easy to prowl along the corridors of the castle at night without being seen. Her brilliant bright green eyes matched the emerald studded necklace she wore at all times.
Because of her age, which was 13, she was one of the most skilled youths at archery in her time.
Kiara approached the archers field with caution, and saw that Master Suzlik wasn’t there.
It was odd for him not to be correcting and criticizing his younger pupil’s forms and archer work on the field. No one was out here, the targets weren’t out, and not even the wind dared to blow in case of disturbance.
She tried walking to his house, and found that his horses weren’t in his stables.
“Shoot!” She heard Master Suzlick calling out to his pupil’s.
Kiara wondered if it was possible that he was out showing the Royal Court his younger pupil’s progress.
She was suddenly upset. Master Suzlick promised her that next time the Royal Court visited, that she would be able to appeal to them and hopefully get a job.
Not only was Master Suzlick an archer, he also owned an orphanage, where she lived at this moment. When someone turned 14 years old, they had to go and find a job, or live on the streets because they had grown old enough to leave the orphanage.
Her 14th birthday was coming up next month, and she new that she had to find a job soon, or let herself beg and starve.
She ran as fast as she could to the training field, searching the horizon, she finally spotted Master Suzlick.
He was alone, and was randomly calling angles and the occasional, “SHOOT!”
Kiara was glad he was not appealing to the Royal Court, but it disturbed her to see her master in this state.
She was curious about this strange new way her master acted, so she sat and watched.
Kiara thought she must have sat there for ages, about to get up from her sitting position, she stopped.
Across the field about 100 yards away from Master Suzlick, someone was walking out of the woods.
As patient as she was, she could not hold this curiosity in.
She started at a slow walk at first, and then it gradually became a slow run.
The next thing she saw was unbelievable.
The man from across the field had taken out his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot it straight at Master Suzlick.
She saw Master Suzlick fall to the ground, and that mysterious figure walked away, and she ran.
She ran as fast as she could, no matter how many cramps and damage to herself that she could do, she would not stop running until she saw Master Suzlick.
He was lying on the ground, a look of extreme fear and pain on his wrinkled and aged face.
He had an arrow in his shoulder, but since it had taken her so long to get to him, he had already lost a large mass of blood.
She was furious at herself for acting so foolish and letting that man walk out of that forest.
She bent down at Master Suzlick’s side.
“No… No… No… My fault… Come one… please… come on… you can make it…” Kiara whimpered.
“Take…. This… You mustn’t take… the blame…for this happening…” He feebly handed her a sealed note.
She saw his chest slowly rising and falling, and then nothing at all.
“NO! NO! NO! PLEASE…” Kiara was full of hatred.
She would kill the person that murdered Master Suzlick.
Particularly to no one, Kiara yelled, “YOU HEAR THAT, I’LL KILL YOU!”
If you want more, please ask! Anything you need/want to add, I’ll try to fit it in? As you can see from the title, the book is called Loyalty to Revenge.
