Chapter 3

I reach the tall metal gates surrounding the Kings castle. I go up to the guards.
"Cedany White, here to so the King." I say confidently, even though inside my head is screaming RUN.
"Follow me." The tall scrawny guard states, and walks casually towards the castle. I am trudging about three foot behind him, and I think of what my life has become.

Flashback
2 years ago.
I look into the mirror, a short Brown haired girl with blue eyes and ripped old clothes stares back. It's not easy for me here. We have barely any food at all, and way to many mouths to feed. I'm the oldest so I'll be going to look for some work first. I walk out of our small cottage. As soon as I step out of the house their there waiting for me like vultures.
" Well, well look who decided to make an appearance." The averaged height, black haired boy says.
"Go away, I'm not in the mood for an argument." I say boldly.
"Why should I?" He says as he sneers angrily at me.
"Because I told you to." I say gaining a lot of wide eyes from his followers. I don't usually say much just walk away. But today for some reason I don't want to. He has about nine followers with him all as big as boulders. More people crowd around, but none looking in our direction, they have their backs turned to us.
Before I even look up his fist connects with the side of my jaw. Lots of people laugh, this makes me so angry I can't contain myself. Then he sets his followers on me. The first one comes and tries to punch me, I dodge and grab his arm and flip him over my shoulder. When I was younger and Dad was still alive he taught me all he knew about fighting. By now everyone had turned around and looked at me. Then three come up one grabs my left arm,  and another grabs my right, the third one comes and is about to hit me, but as he does I my foot connects with his groin. He's on the floor clutching it. With the remaining followers I hit, kick, punch and scratch them. There all on the floor. Then the bully himself comes over, and I punch as hard as I can at him on the side of the face, it connects and he falls unconscious on the floor.

I turn around only to be face to face with the King. He beckons me to follow him. And if you don't follow the Kings orders here it's straight execution.
