So Much Black
 
As the day wears on my feet become numb, the blisters that had risen burst from what feels like hours of walking and yet I walk on for threat of being carried the rest of the day by Alex. After what seemed like a five days of walking Alex deems that we have gone far enough into the twisting, green forest and that where we stand, at the base of a dreary looking cave will be tonight’s camp. As I stare at the hard ground contemplating whether I should just sleep outside no matter what Alex says, but I decide that it is probably best to try to stay on his good side for now because if this gets ugly it should be easier to escape if he trusts me.
 
Later when I join the men around the campfire I finally gain the courage to ask why the wanted to find me in the first place? “We need your help, others have tried but they all failed and if we go in they will know that it is us and know what we are there for but with you, you could take them all out and still be able to get him and get out”, replies Alex.
“What are you talking about?” I ask completely and utterly confused.
“We need you to get someone important back for us”.
“Yeah I picked up on that”.
“Well, he’s kind of, in the dungeon, in King Drake’s castle”. They all seem to freeze waiting for my response. “Are you all stupid or is it a contagious disease, could I catch it!” I reply about ten seconds later.
“I knew it she can’t do it, why do we even try”, Alex says despair clear in his broken voice. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t try but first I need to know who is in that dungeon”.
“So you, will do it?” the boy’s all say in synchronisation
“Once I know who is in the dungeon that I need to get”
“Oh, well that’s easy Prince Denvan” Jet says relief in evident in all of them. It makes it all that much harder to decline the offer. “I can’t do that”. I state my voice cold as ice and sharp as a knife, which there faces all look like I have stabbed them with. “Why can’t you do it?” Alex growls. “I can’t do it after what he attempted to do to me!” I yell, after a second I finally remember what I just yelled and feel my face slip with the almost-reveal of one of my darkest secrets. I bolt. Legs pumping as fast as I can without tripping as I head father away from the fire and the men still like sculptures with shocked expressions coating their faces. As I turn my gaze forward once again I run head first into a tracker who’s grizzly looking dog goes crazy, as I back away whilst turning a sharp pain cuts into the soft spot where my shoulder connects to my neck which stupidly I left on full display. The black comes flooding into my vision as I pull the dart from my neck throwing it back at him. My last thought before the blackness covers my vision is that the dart hit its mark. Bullseye, straight through the dark spot where his pupil once was.
