someone was carrying her on a horse running away from the castle, going into the darkness of the forest someone that she didn't even know.

all she could do was looking behind at the walls, the walls of the castle that used to be her home for the last 2 years.

there she saw him, a tall well built man standing straight, still full of prid but now alone, she couldn't tell what he was looking at, at the burning grounds around the castle or the dead bodies surrounding it?

what was he thinking? was he thinking about the mistakes he had made? about the right choices that he could make to pervent this disaster?

she couldn't even guess what was going through that man's head, all she could see was that he was looking at her direction.

was he looking for her, was he trying to say something to her? was he regretting standing behind? what if he wanted to go with them?

for a moment her heart sanked.

'I shouldn't leave him behind. we should take him with us. it is wrong.'

she yelled:

"stop, stop the horse it is wrong."

but there was no answer.she tried to look at the man who was carrying her, yes now she recognized him, she couldn't recognize him before because of the armor and the helmet but now that she was looking at him this close she knew, he was the the guard, his gaurd.

she yelled again:

"we have to go back, you have to protect him, that's your job."

she finally heard it, an answer which was shocking, with a voice that was filled with anger, regret and sadness.

"i am fulfilling my final orders."

what?what final orders? what does he mean? the horse was going further and further away she didn't know what to do, the guard would never listen to her she still remembered the cold look he would give her whenever she was with his master like she didn't matter, like she was just a useless thing thrown at her master. she didn't have any special feeling for that man but she couldn't just leave him if she knew that he wanted to go with them, to be saved.but what could she do? she tried to get the reins so she can stop the horse then maybe theu could talk maybe she could persuade the guard to go back.

"try it if you want to die"

she froze it was clearly a warning that she should take seriously she could feel the cold gaze under the helmet watching her every move.

she looked back.the man on the walls wasn't alone any more he was with some men she saw a glint of the sunshine on a sword which was moving and then a head that was rolling down the walls, the head of a man that she used to call her husband.
