The Journey Begins
I walked out with her in my arms I looked bolth ways and saw no sign of Victor, I looked down at Lucia a tear was still lying on her cheek, with my thumb I whiped it off, her skin was soft.
I got a room in the local Inn, I layed her down on the bed, I knew that we would have to leave early. It wouldn't be safe to remain in this village any longer, we would have to leave for good, because if we stayed Victor would always know where we were.I had sat up all night, at around 5:00 am I woke Lucia.
Strider:"Lucia wake up" I said nudging against her "we have to go"
Her eyes slowly opened.
Lucia:"uh..." she sat up rubbing her eyes
Strider:"C'mon, we've gotta go." I said growing impatient
We went back to her house and got some of her belongings and food, then we left heading for the city of Rivendale, seeking help from the elves.
The next morning.
Strider: "if we follow this trail 20 more miles we should get there, in 5 days."
Lucia:"I hate having to leave, seeing as I have lived there all my life" she said looking down at her feet "but if I stay I will be in danger... but I guess I am looking foward to new things and adventure"
Strider:"well lets not focus on the past and instead the future" he said smiling at her as they walked through a patch of woods
Lucia:"I suppose that would be much more cheerful." she said with a forced smile.
It had reached nightfall and we where still in the woods. I had heard something following us but I couldn't quite figure out what it was, as it got closer it became clearer, it was a horse. I turned and saw a black shadowy figure, but that could have been anything considering it was night. I couldn't take any chances though. I could tell Lucia had not noticed it.
Strider:"Lucia quick we have to hide" I whispered pushing her in the trees.
One thing I didn't realize was that we where we where was up hill and where Lucia and I wnet to hide was down hill. I slid and hit a tree, I reached out for Lucias hand but I couldn't see her. I focused my vision further down and there she was sliding down. I lookied up and saw that the shadowy figure had stopped, I could do one of two thing, I could either stay hidden or I could attempt to save Lucia and be found by the shadowy figure.
