Mayonette heeded General Hama's words. She steered her horse through the gap in the flames and headed towards Elfride quickly. Her horse neighed softly underneath her. She patted him as she got off her horse.
She noticed the man was still breathing and was on his side. She looked up at Elfride nervously, before turning back to the man.
"Do you know who I am?" She asked the man. His eyes opened, fear gleamed in his light blue eyes.
"Yes I know who you are," he replied tightly, pain evident in his face. Mayonette took out her sword slowly, allowing him to see just how sharp it truly was.
"Are you working for Samuel?" She asked him as she looked vaguely at her sword. He looked at her sword and then back up at her. His eyes narrowed.
"Why should I tell you that?" He hissed. Mayonette lowered her weapon and held it over his neck, pressing the tip against him lightly. Her eyes narrowed and darkened dangerously.
"Because I won't allow you to die. I'll allow everyone to torture you and then I'll have my friend here nurse you back to health so we can torture you some more," Mayonette threatened. She watched as his eyes widened.
"You wouldn't," he stated softly. Mayonette's small lips pursed together dangerously.
"I would. My father taught me what he knew from his time in the army. I will most certainly use it." The man looked up at Elfride as if looking for help before returning his gaze upon her.
"Yes I'm working for your uncle," he stated tensely. Mayonette took a deep breath, trying to make sure that her anger didn't become dangerous. There was a dire need inside her to kill him, but she wasn't going to do it.
"Where is Sandrina?" Mayonette asked him. He looked over at his pack that had fallen with him when he had fallen off his own horse. It wasn't within his reach. Mayonette motioned for Elfride to kick it further away from him.
"She's in the forest. . . at Samuel's cottage. I can show it to you on a map," he answered, looking back over at the pack. Mayonette pressed the tip a little harder against him.
"Make no sudden movements. We'll decide if you are lying and if you deserve to live," she warned. She looked at Elfride and silently prayed that the men were on their way.
Thomas
Thomas ran his horse heavily towards the village. He found the Inn that he had once known a long time ago. He raced over and hurried inside.
"Help! There is a fire in the valley!" Thomas called. All the men inside stopped their drinking and laughing and stood up.
"A fire? Lead us to it and we shall follow you to it!" An elderly man said. He motioned for them to follow.
"Bring buckets and the like. We can't let it spread to the homes!" Thomas called as he led the men to their horses and back to the fire.
