Chapter 4 Oh, no!

I hissed and quickly hid under a table with a long mace bat and grabbed two chili pepper spray.

It didn't take long before the door was opened and the men came in with Swift, they were wearing strong black boots and brown clothes.

"Little one, i got your little friend here, he showed me where to find you" the man holding Swift by the collar, said smirking.

I rolled my eyes and stood up, looking at them.

"Really?" I asked sadly

"See, how he can easily betray you" he added

I looked at Swift, sadly.

"How could you do that Swift, I thought we are friends?" I said

"I am sorry, I had no choice but to...to... bring them to you" Swift said and before the men could realize what he said, I threw him a pepper spray and he caught it, he knocked one of the men and we both started using the pepper spray.

"Haaaa"

"ahhhh"

"Ahhhh"

Different shouts of pain filled the air, Swift and I started laughing, I walked up to the man who held Swift and said

"you seriously thought, best friends like us we hurt each other"

"I am going to kill you!" He screamed rubbing his eyes, all his men were doing the same too.

"Oh, you can't see us" Swift said and I chuckled

We managed to dragged all nine of them outside, locked the door securely and continue dragging them outside the alley, on the streets.

"See you all!" I shouted as we left them there, some people were staring but I do not care.

"Where are you going?" Swift held my hand, stopping me from moving, I snapped out of my reverie to find out, I am walking to my house.

"When did we get here?" I asked surprised

"You just walked and I followed" Swift said shrugging.

"it's been four days, do you want to go in?" He asked

"Well, I can't run away forever" I said and walked up to the door, I held the knob and turned to see Swift, still standing there.

"Do not look at me like that, I am not ready to face any thing" he said

I looked at the door and stared at him again, giving him a puppy eye.

"Okay, okay, fine" he said defeated.

I smiled and opened the door a little, poking my head inside but there was no one in sight.

"Hail, it is empty" I whispered to Swift and he gave a nod

I entered the house first, followed by Swift. Our house was a tiny two-room thatched cottage with walls made with wattle and daub, the grounds were rigid, we had almost all the necessities we needed and I would not say we were that poor, it was just my mother and I, in the house though.

That's why I am saving up money, for us to leave this kingdom, I heard they are better opportunities, in other kingdoms. Our's, just keep declining in all ramifications.

"Shhh" Swift told me and pointed to the bed

I looked in the direction to see my mother, she was sleeping.
