No Turning Back
There was no turning back.
I stepped into the graveyard and pulled my hair behind my back. I pulled the sword from the sheath at my hip and took in one last deep breath. The rain poured down like boulders and the darkness seemed to continue for miles.
I stomped my foot. Someone stomped in response. I smashed my foot into the ground louder and harder. Another sounded from behind me. When I continued to pound my feet into the moist earth hundreds pounded in response but only two where human. Mine and the butchers.
Her outline appears in the distance. Her long hair reaches the soil and her bow is drawn. I stomp my foot and watch one arrow slice through the air and stick itself into the tree behind me. Then an ominus beating begins. The ghosts, and that was the moment that I realized it wasn’t ever the plan for me to make it out alive.
