This is my first original fic....plz tell me what you think....
She laid on the grass looking out at the stars over head. She placed her hands behind her head and sighed. There was a war beginning in the western region of her homeland, she was traveling to the camp there, where she would meet up with the other warriors and figure out a way to defeat the Romans without losing many warriors in the process. Though she now is 18 and she was highly ranked warrior, she hated going into battle to fight. All the blood and gore, she hated it! But, it was for the good of her homeland and she wasn?t about to lose it to anyone that would cause her homeland to fall. She sighed once more and turned over on her side and closed her eyes, tomorrow would be a long day of traveling to the western lands and they wouldn?t reach there until well after night fall, so they needed as much sleep as they could get.
***********
They looked through the trees at the 3 women sleep on the grass. Their orders were to capture the princess, kill any witnesses, and take her to the general. Though the time had to be just right otherwise they would be defeated, even though they had over 50 men and the women were sleeping, the three were very strong and could take down a lot of their men without any trouble. Plus, they were trained to be on guard while they sleep and trying to capture her now would cost them a lot of men, even though tomorrow they were bound to lose many men, they had a better chance with all of their men alive and ready for battle. They jumped down out of the trees as quiet as possible and ran back to set their trap for their victims.
As dawn broke, the 3 warriors awoke, ate, packed and began on their journey to the western camp. They walked threw the forest hoping to get out of it without any trouble. But, alas they were only through half of the forest when, an arrow came shooting out of one of the trees aiming for one of the women, she easily dodged it. More arrows came out of the trees aiming for the women. The arrows got one of women in the shoulder, other than that they only got scrapes from the tips of the arrows. The other 2 covered the injured women as more arrows came, more and more came and blocking became a challenge. Arrows zooming left and right, from all sides, the women were now trapped in the middle of the chaos, they were planning to make a run for it but they couldn?t leave the other woman there so they were stuck. Suddenly, as the fast as the arrows came they quickly stopped, and the 2 uninjured women looked around, nothing?.no sound or noise came from anywhere. They didn?t know who or what had attacked them and they weren?t about to worry about it, they need to help the women with the arrow in her shoulder. They were so rapped up on bandaging up the injured woman that they didn?t notice the men walking out of the cover of the trees and advancing on them slowly. When they noticed it was too late, they had been over come by over 50 roman gladiators. Both women grabbed their swords and shields, and prepared for an attack. They attacked the gladiators head on, aware that they may lose and never make it to the western region of their land?..
She awoke darkness surrounding her, none of her senses seemed to work, which didn?t abide well with the current situation. She could not tell where is was day or night, nor could she tell if her friends were alive. She attempted to move but was unsuccessful; she figured that her hands and legs were tied. She drew in a deep breath and slowly let it out. She couldn?t remember very much, just that she had been fighting?. THE ROMANS!!!! They must have knocked her unconscious while they were fighting?..but wait?why hadn?t they killed her. Something must be wrong, if they kept her alive or maybe they were just going to leave her like this and starve her, no....no they were killers but they wouldn?t kill someone like this. Her mind was baffled trying to figure out why or if they had her. Maybe it was someone else, no I doubt it, they were the only ones around at the time. So she settled on, the Romans had her and she was a prisoner of war. While she was trying to get everything settled in her head, someone grabbed her and roughly pulled her to her feet, but since her feet were tied she had a hard time remaining on her feet. But, whoever was holding her cut the binds that held her feet and she was able to stand. She was pushed down what seemed a long corridor of some sort; they turned a few corners and then climbed some stairs and turned two more times before coming to a stop. The room she was in was lit with many candles, she could tell by how warm it was, but other than that she couldn?t tell what or who was in the room.
Who ever led her hear took off her blindfold, and when she saw who was in the room she new that, she the princess of the amazons, a highly ranked warrior, she Michiru was now a prisoner of war and was in a lot of trouble?..
SOOoooo....what do u think??? R&R plz.....
