Breathless

Chapter three

I ran along the hall and up the stairs to the attic which is where mum's study is. The door was open I knocked once and stepped inside.

"Grace" a voice whispered which defienantly didn't belong to mum "Grace" the voice came again " come with me it breathed

"No," I say firmly " not until you show yourself"

" you will have to trust me" the voice says

No not as long as I live i do not now nor will I ever trust mysterious voices when I can't see who is doing the talking

"But Grace you can see me try a little harder what has your training taught you about glamour? The voice whispers

"Wait" I say " how do you know my name?" This is starting to get creepy I think to myself suddenly there was a flash of light I shield my eyes against it when I open them one of " them" is stood in front of me

"Okay," I say my voice surprisingly steady " you must tell me what you are where you can from and what you want with me"

"My my so many questions for one so young" the voice says a little louder than a whisper this time. I hear footsteps that I know belong to Camryn " stay where you are Camryn I can't have you getting injured again" I tell her

" and leave you battle those creatures on your own you got to be joking" she says coming into the room.

" wait how did you know I was here" I ask

" we are best friends remember we share a special bond we know when the other is in danger I could sense something was wrong that's why I came looking for you" Camryn says

" right lets get this over with" I say Camryn nods as we both take our blades from our weapons belt. The creature laughs " you think you can defeet me with those things and with your low level of training" it splutters.

" sure we can" Camryn says " come one Grace lets show him what we can do"

For the second time that day I feel the rush of adrenaline I feel during a battle we fight hard but don't seem to get anywhere fast we are both breathing hard tired and wounded but we can't give up that easily we carry on pushing through. Suddenly everything slows down everything happens in slow motion Camryn screaming my name , the pain in my chest. Then darkness..
