Chapter 3

When I awoke they were no where in sight and it was dark out. I jumped up when I heard a woman scream. I ran to where I heard the scream came from, a building at the edge of town. Where a large dark figure held her from behind up in the air. It was the young woman around my age from earlier. When I noticed she had the same markings as me. But they were fake they were just tattoos. She wasn't born with them like me. I pulled out my sword my dad helped me make. It was a beautiful sword made out of the highest quality material. The blade was long and white because it was made with one of my feathers so it had special power to it that I could only use. It's handle and guard was lined with special jewels so i could channel my own power or magic into it. Only the king is allowed to have swords like this. Even the other royals are allowed access to them. But since my fathers the one who made them for the king, father pulled some strings and secretly made me one that only I can use it. I was against the idea I didn't want to get father in trouble. I knew the risk was to great. But he insisted upon it. He told me he didn't care that I was his baby girl and deserved the best. I carry it with me everywhere but I always keep it hidden. I covered my face and wings. But I let my wings lose so I could still use them if necessary.

When I heard the woman yell.
"It's all your fault you did if only you would have loved me the way I love you. I did everything for you everything." She kicked furiously. Then I heard it say angrily.

"I did love you but you tricked me. The marked one is supposed to be my destined partner. But your nothing like her. I'm starting to question you." When I realized it was the male royal that was with her earlier. But now he looked like a demon. I pulled my hair up and walked out.

"Are you a worrier?" He demanded when he seen me.

"No not exactly but don't underestimate me. I'm stronger then I look. I'm not just going to stand by as torment a young woman. That's just low." I replied, he put her down but still had ahold of her.

"Don't make me laugh you're just a woman. Your a fool to challenge me." He sneered.

"I said don't underestimate me. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't kick your ass." I said lifting my sword to my side. He froze suddenly when he seen it. Even the woman seemed surprised.

"Now where on earth would you get a sword like that? Isn't that forbidden? The kings supposed to be the only one to have them." He asked curiously.

"Now why would I tell you that?" I asked sarcastically.

"Well I'm just a little curious considering the king never allows anyone not even his own daughter carry one. Your not even royal blood." He replies. That's when I realized who the young woman was. She was the kings daughter.

"That's what you think now are you going to fight me or just keep asking pointless questions." I mocked. He smiled and evil grin.

"You sure it's your funeral." He said, tossing her to the ground and running at me. I raised my sword in front of me and started focusing all my power in it. But right before he hit my blade he suddenly disappeared or at least it looked like he did when something slashed my side. That's when I realized he didn't disappear he tricked me by using a spell that uses illusions to think he was there while he snuck around to hit my venerable spot. The gash was deep. But I didn't let that stop me I swung at him blindly. But only ended up knocking trees down.

"Not to bad you got a lot of power behind your swing your stronger then I thought." He teased. When I caught him off guard, I used my power to make my blade fire, I swung cutting his arm and burning him. When I use this power it burn anywhere my blade touches. He seemed surprised and pissed off when he realized what happened. Then he knocks my sword out of my hand and pins me up against a tree. He grabbed my hands pinning them above my head.

"Not so tough now are ya." He mocked, when I spread my wings and started squirming to break free of his hold. He tighten his grip and slammed me against the tree repeatedly. When I kicked him in the stomach with both feet sending him back words. I got up when the cloth covering my face fell. He jumped to his feet.

"Hey now I recognize you. You're that girl from earlier." He said, I picked up my sword.

"Does it really matter?" I asked, lifting up my sword once again. He shrugged and ran at me again. When he slammed me against a rock making me lose my breath. He had me by the neck squeezing as hard as he could. I dropped my sword trying to pry his hands off my throat. He started laughing and smiled.

"It's such a waist having to kill you. Your so young and beautiful. You could have walked away. But you had to challenge me. Even though I tried to warn you." He said, tightening his grip making my face turn red. When I reached back to grab one of my feathers. When I grabbed one I cut my sleeve by accident exposing some of my markings. He let go when he seen it and I fell to the ground coughing trying to catch my breath.

"There's no way you can't be her. You can't be my beloved." He said walking backwards.

"Well then that makes two of us cause just for record I wouldn't chose you either." I said catching my breath ripping off the rest of my sleeve exposing the rest of the markings on my arm. Then I picked up my sword and cut my other sleeve off. I had no energy left so I couldn't get up. He walked over but I couldn't even lift my head.

"Well you've won so finish me. There's no sense to keep on fighting I've lost. Just make it quick. I can't move." I said, trying to catch my breath. When he kelt in front to where I could see his face. He looked really sad like he was ready to cry or somethings. He pushed my hair out of my eyes. I closed my eyes. When I felt him cut the bottom of my dress off to about my knee and wrap it around my waist were the gash on my side was trying to put pressure on it to stop the bleeding. I opened my eyes when he picked me up, and I blacked out.
