I searched the bodies, not daring to hope that she might still be alive. I blinked back the tears that threatened to come out of my eyes, where was she?
A scream rang in the night. I spun around, I could recognize that voice anywhere. I took off like an 애로우 to where I heard the scream. I ran around a burning building and she crashed straight into my arms. A human riding a horse came into view swinging his sword and screaming like a banshee. I screamed back at him and let my magic 펀치 him off his horse. I held my sister to me. Our parents were dead and I could do nothing to help that, but I now held my sister and not on the pain of death would I allow anyone to hurt her.
“They’re dead, they’re dead!” she cried over and over again. “Seth, they’re dead!” Tears burned at the corner of my eyes.
“Saeko, please, Saeko,” I soothed, kneeling in front of my seven 년 old sister, “we can’t stay here! Mama and papa would have wanted us to get out.” I wiped the tears from her eyes. “Don’t 당신 think we should do as they wish?”
She looked at me and pushed away my hands.
“I can wipe my own eyes,” she sniffed stubbornly. I smiled at seeing her behave like her usual self. I stood up and began to run in a 랜덤 direction, hoping it would prove to be the right one.
We heard 더 많이 screaming, we stopped running at a corner. Crouching low, I peeked around the corner. Keeping my sister behind me.
Humans surrounded the village, killing anyone who tried to escape. 더 많이 rode through the village cutting down anyone who so much as moved. It was a massacre. Some tried to fight back and managed to kill some of the humans, but there was just too many. One 의해 one, the warriors were defeated and killed. My friends, my neighbors. Everyone I had known while growing up. I quelled my anger for the moment to turn to my sister. I had to get her out of here. Safely.
“Saeko,” I whispered in her ear as I hugged her closely, “Do 당신 trust me?” Confusion appeared on my sister’s face, but she nodded her head. Breathing deeply, I cleared my mind of distractions and began to mutter under my breath. Her small eyes grew large as she recognized the spell I had spent countless hours practicing. The spell of transformation.
Quickly, I finished the spell, I kissed her forehead and waited as the spell took effect. She bowed her head as her small body shrunk and twisted. Soon a gold oak leaf ring lay on the ground where my sister once stood. I picked it up, tenderly, and placed her on my finger. Then, and only then did I stand up to turn to the battle. I took a deep breath.
My scream pierced the night sky. Magic pulsed through my veins as I ran into the midst of the battle. I threw all my tumbled emotions into every 펀치 I threw. What reason did these humans have to attack our village? Why did they kill my parents? I felt nothing of what I did. Power flowed out of my body and formed into actions. Everything was instinctive.
I ran to a human who chased our village healer, magic poured out of my body and rushed out to rust his armor, causing it to crumble. I bashed his exposed head and let him fall to the ground. I ran to another human and performed a spinning kick aimed at his head. He fell to the ground unconscious. I landed on his horse and charged to the line of humans surrounding our village. I turned as many as I could into ice sculptures before arrows started to fly over my head. I ducked close to the horse and picked up a bow of one of the dead elves, I tried not look at his face. But my neighbors face was hard to miss. My 심장 grew even heavier. Why did they attack us? I swung the bow into position and crippled any human who dared to shoot at me. What did they want?
“Get the brat!!” I heard a human yell. I faltered, I noticed an 애로우 too late. I ducked but not before it grazed my face. Warm blood trickled down my face. I licked the blood from my lips and spat it out. I felt no pain. Only a cold numbness.
More humans swarmed to me. I soon ran out of arrows. I leaped from the horse to kick the face of a human who charged at me. I swiftly leaped from his back onto a surprised human. He swung his sword at me, screaming. I stepped to the side, out of the swords path. I reached up under the man’s guard and punched his nose. Using my hand, I chopped the back of his neck, cutting off his screaming. He fell to the ground unconscious, as I charged my 다음 victim. I know longer kept track of what I was doing. Here, I was here blowing a human off his horse. Next, I was performing an overhead cut on an unsuspecting human. Time had no meaning. I was only aware of the screaming. My only thought was to get rid of these humans. These humans who had so cowardly attacked us in our sleep.
The village still burned. But now no one paid attention to the doomed village. Now they focused on escaping these humans. Some joined me while others took their children to try and run to the trees. But they never got past the lines of humans. With every human that was defeated two 더 많이 took his place. We were losing. We knew it, the humans knew it. But to give up would mean our death.
“Seth! 당신 idiot!” I turned to see who called my name, and insulted me. The village chief froze a human. My senses cleared as soon as I saw him and 구스범스 traveled up may arms. I gulped, I imagined myself being 겨울왕국 instead of that human. I decided that it would be safer if I acted as if I didn’t hear him.
Seeing that I had paid him no attention, he made his way to me and grabbed my shirtfront. “Dammit Boy! What are 당신 doing here?” He paused to open the earth under a soldier. I looked up at him not knowing how to answer him. What was I doing here? I needed to get out of here. I glanced down at my sister, I had to keep her safe. The chief set 불, 화재 to a soldier and turned to look at me.
“You have to get out of here. You’re the one who bears the moonstone! 당신 have passed all tests needed to own this stone! 당신 must be the one to survive! What do 당신 not understand?!? You’re the only one who can control the power of the moonstone! It’s 당신 they’re after!!” A cold feeling gripped my heart. The humans were here because of me?
The chief placed his palm on my forehead showing me an image. I choked.
“The forbidden forest?” I gasped, The chief hugged me close, out of the way of a sword stroke. The chief just glared at him and the man turned to stone.
“Run straight into the woods and head for the Ruins of the old ones. Is your sister with you?” He turned to look around at the burning village. I held up my hand where she shone the light of the fire. Understanding, he blew away yet another human. “No one must get hold of either 당신 또는 the moonstone, do 당신 understand me? Leave these humans to the 더 많이 experienced ones and get out of here!” I grinned, he forgot to mention that I had taken care of the most humans out of all of elves that fought.
An 애로우 appeared suddenly and we noticed it too late. It sank into the village chief’s shoulder. Blood soaked the front of the chiefs arm he grunted and doubled over in pain.
“Chief!” I clutched his shirtfront and tried to use my healing magic. He pushed me away.
“Run,” he grunted. But when he saw that I hadn’t move, he summoned the wind and blew me straight into the forbidden forest.
“Run, Seth,” whispered the wind as I was tossed carelessly into the trees. I crashed down to the ground. The branches slowed my fall keeping me from breaking my bones. When I stood up, I tried to look back at the village but a strong gust of wind pushed me further into the forest. So I ran.
A scream rang in the night. I spun around, I could recognize that voice anywhere. I took off like an 애로우 to where I heard the scream.

This is written about the perfect silence only found in the dead of night, and the feelings it inspires.
The 제목 comes from the 설명 a friend of mine gave when we were stuck in the middle of nowhere at midnight and I found it sort of beautiful.
Enjoy (I hope) :)
Weighted air and winking stars,
darkness draped, tension wrought.
This night, this hour, is ours.
Silence chimes unspoken thoughts
that choke my mouth.
Silver moonbeams in glittering outline
surround you, and in our youth
this night, this hour, we intertwine.
I'd 사랑 to hear what 당신 like 또는 hate.
Thanks for reading.

Jade Adams was making her way 집 when she saw him. The dark haired kid everyone had been talking about earlier today was walking in the same direction she was. "Hey! You're the new kid in school right?" "Hn?" The boy turned around to face Jade, making her 심장 skip a beat. He had to be one of the most strikingly beautiful people she had ever seen. He was pale, with onyx colored eyes, and jet black hair that hung over his eyes slightly. "H-hi. I'm Jade..." the poor girl was at a loss for words when he flashed his dazzling smile at her. "Hey, I'm Victor." She blushed slightly and readjusted her Slipknot tee over her black skinny jeans. "Soo... what road do 당신 turn onto to get home?" "I turn onto Salem road, what about you?" Victor looked over at her again, scratching his head awkwardly. "Me too! Wanna walk 집 together?" "Sure!" The blonde girl started walking ahead, leaving Victor o follow. "So, how do 당신 like it here?"
