Vengeance, I'm trying my hand at this thing Options

[Soulseeker3.0]

Well yeah, I got bored one day and started writing this up... I think i'm going pretty strong. My only downfall is I can't type so, if you like it there might be some delaye in the later updates, have fun.

Oh and this is fairly short... I don't havbe the patience to sit and type three paragraphs like Trey does (that is a weird compliment to you guys who type that much)

INTRODUCTION

Ty awoke to a low thundering noise and looked out his window to see dirt and dust billowing up on the horizon. Ty rubbed his eyes to look again and his mother burst into the room looking around frantically. Ty glanced out the window to see dark figures on the horizon take shape.

“Hey mommy what’s-”

“Hurry dear, come here.”

His mom pulled Ty through the house and Ty was starting to get scared. “Mommy, were is dadda? I’m scared.” Ty started crying and his mom picked him up. “Its okay, daddy’s with all the other men and they are going to protect us.”

“The peoples in black?”

“Yes, so we are going to be really quiet and hide.” Ty started to stop crying and nodded.

Ty’s mom took him to the basement wee they hid under a blanket waiting, just sitting there waiting. Waiting for Ty’s dad to call down the stairs. Ty laid there in his mother’s lap for what seemed like an eternity. Eventually he heard the door open, but something didn’t feel right. The sounds were rough and the smell was horrible. Ty peeked out of a hole in the rugged blanket and saw a group of men looking around.

Ty gasped and one of the men turned his head in Ty’s direction. The man moved closer and Ty grabbed his mother, who was trying to comfort him. The man’s hand seemed to hover over the blanket and the blanket was wrenched off and the man grunted, a signal to his comrades. Ty looked from his mom to the man and his mom was shaking her head and the men were smiling.

One of the men tore Ty away while the other two held her back. The one man looked over Ty and the only thing he said was “not worth it” and he threw Ty across the room. Ty hit his head on the wall and started to lose consciousness. He heard his mom scream and the men laugh. “No! Get off! Get off!” But the only answer was more laughter and Ty blacked out completely.

---Well the next update might throw you off but if you think about it, it should make since. Cheers

Thanks MM and Jack.

I messed this whole scene up but i like how it turned out.... only problem is that a few things i wanted the people to say wouldn't have fit in this layout. *shrug* can win it all i guess.

Enjoy.

----------------------------------

The man who was in the room when Ty first woke up came into the room, “Well Miss, We’re all ‘ere, but I can’t find Victoria.” He then noticed her standing near Dalave. “Well, we couldn’t find ‘er.”

“Yeah, I was here the whole time Zach.”

Zach shrugged, “ ‘Ey, works for me. Com on in guys, she’s already in here.”

Three more people came into the room making the small room fairly crowded with the seven people. Some grabbed a seat or the table while others leaned up against the wall.

Jonas eagerly questioned Dalave, “So Miss, what’re we going to do?”

Dalave looked remotely surprised, “How’d you all hear?”

Jonas replied sourly, “Well, you and Blaine was shoutin’ so it really wasn’t that hard.”

“Well that saves time then. I’m sorry guys, but I can’t kill this kid. And that means you know my alternative.”

Dozer spoke up, “So, that means we’re leavin’ right?

Dalave sagged in her chair but right before she could reply the red head hit Dozer upside the head, “No you doof, Dalave’s sayin’ that she’s ditchin’ us to go off with this punk while we have to stay and train with that new kid. Well, Dalave, if you can’t kill ‘im, then I’ll do it for ya.”

The Red Head pulled one of her scimitars from its sheath on her back and brought it down toward a wide-eyed Ty. Dalave flew across the room and brought a dagger up to the Red Head’s throat and another under the falling blade.

After she made sure she stopped the blade, Dalave whispered into the Red Head’s ear, “Nania, you are a great comrade, and I love ya like a sister, BUT if you kill him then I will have no qualms against slicing your throat.”

The quiet room somehow became even quieter. No one moved, everyone’s eyes on Dalave and Nania, and the silence was deafening. Eventually Nania raised her sword and slid it back into its sheath and Dalave walked away. Nania glared at Ty and then stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her. It was now an awkward silence, and the rest of the people made their exit until it was only Dalave, Ty, and Dozer.

“Well, if you ever need anything, you know where to come.” Dozer slowly turned and left the room.

After sitting quietly through the whole situation, Ty finally spoke up, “Eh heh, well, thanks for not letting me die I guess. What’s up with her anyways?”

Dalave opened the dresser and pulled out some clothes, “She doesn’t talk about it much, her life before Blaine took her in that is, and from what I’ve heard it’s a small wonder. Her family used to travel around the world, but when she was about seven her mom died and, even though they continued traveling, her father wasn’t the same. Once when they were returning home from the grand capital city, they got stopped from bandits. Instead of facing the bandits himself; he used her as a bargaining chip.”

Dalave tossed the clothes to Ty, “And even I haven’t heard of what the Bandits did to her, but I can imagine a few things and just the thought makes me want to puke. But that’s all I’ve heard, put those on and meet me outside of the room.”

Dalave calmly walked out of the room and shut the door behind her. Before Ty could swing his legs out of the bed though, a person appeared on the dresser. She looked over at Ty and jumped down.

Once he recognized her as Victoria he finally spoke up, “Can I help you with something?”

Victoria smirked and shook her head, “Nah, I was just wantin’ to see what was so damned special about you that would make Dalave leave this place.”

She brushed her blond hair out of her eyes and took a good long look at Ty, “Well, I can’t tell, other than that funny scar over your eye, you’re pretty much the same as any other kid I’ve seen. Then again, Dalave is smart so I don’t doubt she knows what she’s doing. ”

Victoria turned from Ty and headed to the door, “Oh, wait, one more thing.” Victoria turned back around and gave Ty a piercing look, “If I find out that you let anything happen to Dalave while you’re with her, then you best as hell pray to the goddess that I don’t find you, in an alley or in the main street. I won’t hold back.”

Ty could feel the warmth radiate from Victoria’s clenched fists. And with that Victoria shocked Ty with a cheerful smile and then left the room, leaving Ty to change. After changing into a relatively clean pair of clothes, Ty started to think.

:What have I gotten myself into? I mean, I know that this wasn’t going to be easy but I only left three days ago and I’ve already ran into a group of thieves. By the goddess, I should have just stayed home with Malachi. Speaking of Malachi, I wonder how the old bat’s doing with me gone.:

Ty shrugged after he pulled the cuirass over his head and grabbed a robe from the wardrobe. After throwing on the robe, he tossed his helm into his sack and strapped his sword to his side. Grabbing his sack he walked through the door to the awaiting Dalave.
