Chapter 7 "Fairies"

WIDOW POV
———————
It has been six years since the fairies attacked us. Six years that I spent sleeping outside because my family's house was burnt down by them. Six years stealing to feed my hungry stomach. Six years taking risks, risks that might get my head cut off.  My life is pure gold.

The morning sun woke me up, i was sleeping in a cardboard box, in a dark alley for around two months now, i'd have to find new shelter soon. Summer is leaving, and autumn is coming soon. Meaning more rain and less sunshine. I crawled out of the cardboard box and stood up in the dark alley, the floor was cold and filled with dirt and rocks, making my feet feel uncomfortable. I walked out of the dark alley and tiptoed around the side of the road. It was around nine am, and a few fairy guards were walking around. The fairies aren't teeny like how they assume they are, they are tall, and have quite small wings. Somehow they can still use them. I avoid them and walk around the block, until i stopped by an old furniture shop, that used to belong to Miss Millers, a very old kind woman. But now it's owned by some Fairy Woman, that doesn't intend to sell anything to the elves. I walk around the town for about an hour or so, until the bells chime.
"Everybody in town come, this is urgent matters" yelled the general, the fairy one. Our old general was killed during the battle eight years ago.  After fifteen minutes or so, all the town's people gathered near the town's church, the one with the bell on it. Fairies and Elves, both were wondering what was so important to gather everyone in front of the town's church.
"I hope everybody is here." The general said looking around. It was full of people. "This is a message to the elves, you are no longer welcome here, if we see you in this town, you will be shot down and killed. For the town's people, if you see any elves after the sun sets today, report it to me, the elf will be hunted down and killed. I hope you get the point. You are all dismissed" He said walking away. The elves were questioning what they are going to do now, the town that they were born in, and lived in for so long was taken away from them.  And now they have to leave it, and if they do not want to, they will be shot down.
Murmurs and panicked voices were everywhere."Where will we go?" "How will we survive?" Questions and voices were everywhere.
Even I... don't know what the hell to do.
