Chapter Three

Making their way back to Seles was no longer an option. Shara would not be safe there. It would just be raided again and even more people would die. Plus, the Imperial Army was camped out in the forest between them and the village. The risk of being caught and detained was too great.

They had to abandon their horses, too. Too much noise and the terrain that needed to be covered was much too steep and rough for them to traverse.

"You will be safe in Bale, Shara," Lavitz said, leading the way through the dense foliage. "The king will grant you protection.:

"Why would a king who does not know me offer me his protection?" Shara asked from behind as Dart followed up the rear. They were doing their very best not to make any unnecessary noise.

Lavitz stopped and turned around to look at him. "King Albert is a wonderful ruler. He helps any who come to him."

Shara did his very best to smile. "Thank you."

Lavitz nodded and then looked at Dart. "Are they still following us?"

Dart always did have such sensitive ears. "I hear nothing, but we should keep moving for now."

Lavitz readily agreed with him and continued to lead the way. Following after, Shara could feel Dart's eyes on him, but said nothing. He didn't want to say anything.

His actions back there had been his own, and if he had had the chance, he would have killed that fat bastard. He really hoped the wounds he had inflicted festered and pained Frugal terribly. He prayed they would become infected and cause him to lose both legs. It would only serve him right.

"Shara?" Dart asked and he felt the larger man place a hand on his shoulder. "Do you want to talk?"

He shook his dark head. "No. Not here."

Dart removed his large hand from his slender shoulder.

He didn't want to talk. If he did, he would break and become absolutely useless.

"Later," he responded. "When it is safer."

"This way," Lavitz said, jumping over a small stream. "We have a long way to go."

Shara had no idea where Bale was. He'd never before left the village. His view of the world was so small. Now he was getting to see it. He just wished it had been under better circumstances.

"Damn it!" He hissed, feeling his eyes begin to sting with tears.

"What?" Lavitz and Dart both asked with concern at the same time.

"Nothing," he quickly lied, keeping his eyes low. His long hair kept them from view. "Just a mosquito."

Lavitz chuckled, but Dark knew better.

They continued and Shara continued to feel Dart's blue eyes burning into his spine.

OOOOOOO

Dart was worried and his heart mourned for Shara's loss and innocence. It hurt him deeply to see him so cold and distant now. Because of other's evil, his best friend's light was now stained with darkness. He wanted Shara to talk. To scream. To cry. He wanted him to do anything but be silent and empty eyed. He had heard blood and absolute hate in his voice back in Hellena. His face had been painted with sheer hatred and fury.

HE HAS TO DIE!

He ducked under a low hanging branch, keeping his eyes on the dark headed teen. It was truly amazing what five years could do.

Shara was absolutely beautiful. Lithe and graceful.

Seeing him standing in the shadows of that cell had stolen his breath. He had looked like an angel.

"Let's take a break," Lavitz suggested, stopping in his tracks.

Shara bumped into his back and stumbled backwards a step. Dart caught him before he could fall.

"Sorry," Lavitz apologized, looking slightly stricken. "I should have given a warning."

Dart chuckled and led Shara over to a smooth looking stump. He had him sit down and knelt before him.

"When did you become so clumsy?" He asked him.

Shara smiled, but it didn't reach his stunning eyes. "Don't pick on me."

Dart was mesmerized by his beauty. It was like a shock of pure gold. Long dark locks fluttered about his moth white face. His hair had more coils than a nest of black vipers.

"You need a bath," Dart sniffed, making a face.

Full, blood red lips twitched at the corners and amethyst eyes narrowed. He had such long, long lashes.

"you're one to talk," Shara whispered, looking into his eyes with violet heat. "Smelly brute."

There's my Shara.

He offered him some water from his flask and then went to check on Lavitz. The knight was leaning back against a tree.

"How are you?" Dart asked, offering the flask to him. "You got hit pretty hard back there."

Lavitz drank and handed the flask back.

"A little banged up," the blond knight answered with a slight blush of embarrassment. "But, nothing an herb can't fix."

Dart nodded.

"How is he?" Lavitz asked, nodding towards Shara.

With a frown, Dart shrugged his broad shoulders. "I'll know when he tells me."

Lavitz continued to smile at him.

"What?" Dart asked.

"He's tough," he told him, pushing off the tree. "And he has you now. He hasn't taken his eyes off you since you came over."

Dart felt his cheek heat. "What?"

Lavitz laughed. "Shall we continue?"

When Dart turned around, Shara was petting his moon spider. He scratched his cheek and walked over to get him.

I'm going to have to talk to him. The village accepted us…but…

"Ready?" He asked, looking down at him.

He still looks so terribly young…so vulnerable…

Shara rose and put his quiver back on. He placed the spider back on his shoulder and picked up the bow.

"I hear them!" Lavitz called. "Come on!"

Dart grabbed Shara's hand and the three of them took off running through the forest as quickly as they could.

"There they go!" A loud voice shouted. "After them!"

"Come on!" Lavitz yelled, sliding off and down a steep ravine.

"Do not harm the boy!" Another voice shouted. "Kill the other two if you must!"

Dart squeezed Shara's hand, looking down after Lavitz. "Ready?"

Shara nodded.

They both jumped, following Lavitz. The wind rushed around them as the skidded and slid downwards. When they reached the bottom, all three took off running.

OOOOOOO

Dart pushed Shara forwards and spun around, deflecting an arrow with his sword. He looked to see Lavitz lagging a bit. It looked like his armor was slowing him down.

"Lavitz!" He yelled, deflecting another arrow. "Speed it up!"

They were sitting ducks here. It had been foolish to cut across this prairie.

Lavitz suddenly cried out and fell to his knee. When Dart looked, he saw that the knight had been struck with an arrow in the left leg.

"Lavitz!" Shara shouted.

"Go!" Dart told him, running towards the fallen knight.

He took hold of Lavitz and pulled him behind a large rock. Arrows bounced off it.

"Pull it out," Lavitz hissed through gritted teeth, biting his bottom lip to distract himself from the pain.

Dart nodded and did so. Lavitz shouted and turned three shades of white when Dart pulled the arrow from his wounded flesh.

"I told you to run, Shara!" He yelled at him when the dark headed young man knelt down beside him.

"Shut up," Shara snapped, firing an arrow. A man screamed in the distance and fell silent. He looked at Dart. "Put a wrap on that."

"It is just a scratch," Lavitz gasped, sweating.

Shara fired another arrow and ducked back down. "Use an herb and wrap it."

"It can be treated later," Lavitz spoke, taking deep breaths while Dart worked to stop the bleeding. "We have to get away."

Dart quickly did the best that he could under the circumstances. He just wanted to get the blood to stop flowing. "I'll carry you," he said, taking him under the arm, helping him up. "You go first, Shara."

Shara fired another arrow and another man screamed.

"I am not a child," he said, taking Lavitz under the other arm. "I'll help."

"I can walk by myself," Lavitz growled.

"Of course you can," Shara deadpanned. "You're a big boy."

Lavitz rolled his eyes.

"Let's go!" Dart yelled, and they started running as fast as they could.

OOOOOOO

"I don't see them," Shara said, glancing over his shoulder. "Maybe I got them?"

"Over there!" Dart said, leading them into tall grass and behind a large tree.

They ducked down and held their breaths. Dart could hear loud running heading straight towards where they were hiding.

"Come out!" A voice yelled.

Dart motioned for nobody to make a sound.

"The boy first!" A second voice spoke. "We may spare your lives if you obey."

Dart noticed a little field mouse and caught it. Shara was looking at him like he was crazy and Lavitz looked like a ghost.

He chucked the mouse out. The guards yelped and then silence as the mouse squeaked angrily.

"Is this him?" A Hellena warden asked. "Kind of mousy if you ask me."

Shara made a face.

"Don't be so goddamn retarded!" The second guard yelled. "Let's look that way!"

When they ran off, Dart breathed easier. All three of them did.

"Too close," he whispered.

"Mousy…" Shara huffed under his breath and turned to Lavitz, asking with concern. "Are you okay?"

The knight nodded, but he had sweat on his brow. They helped him up and started heading in the opposite direction of the Hellena scum.

"You're in pain," Shara said, looking at him. "You're among friends, Lavitz. Stop acting tough. You can cuss if you want to."

The knight looked at him. "Shit."

Dart snorted.

"I know some first aid," Shara said, and that had Dart looking across at him.

"You do?"

"Of course," he nodded. "I'm good at it."

Dart picked some more at him. "You? Learning?"

Shara glared at the blond. "I will hit you."

Dart laughed.

"Look!" Lavitz motioned with his head. "Is that a farm?"

It was, and it was well off the beaten path, too.

"We can hide out and rest here," Dart said, looking at Shara once more.

He would help him fix Lavitz and put him to sleep. The knight would heal faster that way. Then perhaps Shara would want to talk to him. He wanted him to talk.

To be continued…
