《First Step on a Long Road》 Chapter 1: The Begining > As this is my first time posting a fiction on this site don''t hold back! _______________________________________________________________________ I sit here in my chair writing in this journal so I don''t forget, the time spent with my friends and the adventures we had together, ah the fun, the fights, the I''m going to die feeling. It all started when I decided to run away from home, don''t get me wrong I loved my family, but I wanted something more than the suffocating feeling of that house, and I just hated how everyone was sucking up too me just to get a little more influence. So stupid, so I ran away, not the smartest thing for me to do, I mean I was only fourteen. After walking around town for a time I found myself lost, I wasn''t a sheltered child I''ve traveled around ... with my family ... on main streets ... it''s just I wanted to avoid people, me being who I am I dislike being stared at by people, so I found the back streets and wound up completely lost. Then the event that would change my life happened. While walking around lost in a back alley I found myself surrounded by a group of dirty, smelly, and underfeed people, or thieves, your choice as to what to call them. Thief 1 " Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Thief 2 " Hey boss looks like we have a lost lamb here" Thief 3 " Not just lost but rich too, just look at them cloths, not a speck of dirt on em" Me " If it''s money you want here, its not much but its all I have" I threw my coin pouch too the ground in front of me and started to leave, " Hey where do you think your going?" the first one said while grabbing my arm Thief 2 " That''s right, that''s right why don''t you stay and play with us for awhile" " I gave you my money so let me go already" I said while raising my voice Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Thief 2 " Now why would we do that? Thief 3 " So true I wonder what else you have hiding under those cloths of yours?" Thief 1 " Hey boys lets find out" *oh crap* I thought as they started to close in on me, if it was 1 on 1 then I might have a chance but 3 on 1 ... I''m not so sure. " Stay away or I''ll call the guards" I said my voice slightly cracking trying to get out of the thieves grip They look at each other in surprise before they burst out laughing Thief 1 " pft ahahaha oh boy you don''t know where you are do you?" Thief 3 " hahahaha there''s no one here but us you know, so scream no one will hear you" I''m screwed, I know it, I didn''t want my first time out of my house to end up like this, I should have just stayed on the main road, I shut my eyes and prepared myself to be hit but ... ??? " Shit I''m lost ... *sigh* hey do you guys know how to get to the main road? I seem to be lost" An unknown voice fills the air, stopping the thieves in their tracks, I opened my eyes in surprise and that was my first meeting with him, he was about 6'' 5" dressed in black from head to toe, with a sword strapped to his back. " piss off were busy right now." one of the thieves yelled at the man " I can see that and I don''t really care, so if you can point me to main road I''ll let you get back too it." he replied They were shocked, I was as well but really, who wouldn''t be? Thief 3 " The main road is behind you, just keep walking that way and you cant miss it" ??? " Thanks" and then he just left ... Again everyone was shocked, luckily I recovered fast and escaped the thieves grip and chased after the black clad jerk. That was the start of everything.
