Chapter 7
Flight
The sun rose that day, like any other day...but the air seemed thick...you could barley breath.
Akina woke with a flash and reached for her sword...she was covered in cold sweat and her eyes were clouded over...
"Akina...what’s wrong?"
Akina looked at Taskin’s worried face and fell back to sleep, Taskin had to catch her so as she wouldn't hit her head on the ground. He looked at her confused and kissed lightly.
"Must be sleep fighting again."
Akina opened her eyes and sniffed the air. Turkey was being roasted over a fire, breakfast!
"Taskin! Where did you get the turkey?"
"Found it walking around, so I grabbed your sword and killed it, smells good no?"
She had to admit it did smell great, but that was no excuse to use her sword without her knowing it. Still she got up and brushed her hair with her fingers, and walked over to the fire. Crystal was waking up too, and she found some grass to munch on while Taskin and Akina ate. Funny, Akina kept looking up at Taskin, catching him staring at her as she ate...
"What gives Taskin, why are you staring at me so much?"
"Well...this morning you woke up covered in sweat and your eyes...it was really weird...what were you dreaming last night?"
She sat back and thought...'what was I dreaming last knight'?
"I was dreaming of.... of..."
Before she could finish her thought an arrow came shooting down at them. Akina pulled Taskin under the table with her. He was just as scared as she was when they heard a horse come trotting up next to the table...
"I know they're here somewhere, you can kill the boy, but leave the girl for me..."
