Continue escorting her to the camp

    by: Heather I Relken Author IconMail Icon
You don't slow, and continue to bring her to the camp. As you near, fire lights the horizon and you hurry your pace. She screams as she sees the fire grow larger as they grow closer, and when you reach the edge of the forest where it meets their camp you stop in awe. She slides from your back, unsheathing a dagger and leaping upon the nearest attacker.

You wait before rushing in, and take in the scene. Five wagons stand ablaze, their horses either slain or cut loose, running off in the distance. Women try to grab at their children--though some stand and fight with the men, but it's an obviously loosing battle. There are more bodies laying on the ground than standing on it, and one man turns to met your eye. He ducks away from his attacker, seizing the arm of a young woman and dragging her away from hers while dealing him a slice to the throat. The man crumples, and the couple approaches you.

"What are you--release me!" The woman cries, trying to pull from the mans grasp.

"Take her and run." He says seriously, removing a necklace and stuffing it into her hand. "You must do this now. Go."

"I could never just abandon--"

"Then you condemn us all to die." He says, pushing her toward your back. "Go, go.."

You hold up your spear, uncertain. A woman screams as she's stabbed, a horse shrieks as its leads catch to flame.

You have the following choices:

*Noteb*
1. Take the young woman and flee with her

*Noteb*
2. Fight back, alongside the gypsies

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
