-my trained hearing picks up the chuckle and I look to my side to see a cave about twenty feet away. I dismount and crouch down approaching stealthily-

 

-I quietly draw my bow and nock an arrow to it. I approach the mouth of the cave and peek inside my hood concealing me. I look shocked at what I see and tears of sadness roll down my checks. I stare in disbelief for a few more seconds before it turns to anger. I slowly raise the bow and fire at the boy.-

 

-I stay stock still another arrow nocked. I know if I stay still it's near impossible for him to see me. I observe him closely looking for a weakness in his armor. I see it just under his left arm. An unarmored spot that will go straight to his heart. I wait and carefully plot when to fire again, knowing when I do it will blow my cover so it has to be a killing blow-

 

-I take the chance immediately. As soon as he lift his arm to lift her I fire the arrow directly at the weak spot-

 

-I quietly slip in and push the boy further into the cave. I sling my bow and very carefully pick Alida up. I carry her gently out of the cave and flinch as the sun hit her face. I watch her carefully-

 

-I tense up as what I have just done sets in-

"Yes..."

 

-I close my eyes tightly holding back tears. I speak my voice choked up-

"I...I k-ki..."

 

-I collapse to my knees and sob-

 

(bump)

 

-I gently shake her awake-

"I'm so sorry..."
