Are You Coming To The Hanging Tree? [NOT A PK POST]


Recommended Posts

She felt her heartbeat thump widely against her chest, frantic in it's escape. 

 

Her brain felt like mush, she was dazed and confused. She barely understood what was going on. Why were they doing this?

 

She was picked up in the armored man's arms, like a baby, her wrists and feet were tied. For some strange reason, they left her weapons on her. But her mind felt clogged, and slow. What could she do against highly trained, armored men?

 

She felt herself be carried, then tied to a tree. She remember looking up, to see one of her friends on the road. But she couldn't call for help, her mouth felt like it was full of sandpaper. She couldn't speak, she could hardly breathe, she felt useless, and torn.

 

They set her underneath the hanging tree. Bodies, either rotting or skeletal, swayed around limply in the afternoon breeze. Her breath caught her throat.

 

She started to remember her life, her father's abuse, her mother abandoning her in the Dominion streets, meeting her family, meeting her now ex-husband, marrying her second husband, only to find out he had been killed, moving out of Fenn, fleeing the Dominion...the memories all swirled around in her brain. She felt a heavy lose in her heart, her father, who she would never see again, her entire life flicked before her eyes.

 

"Any last words?" The armored man spoke, snapping her out of her revere. 

 

She thought of a million 'final words' What where final words? A parting? She thought of shouting 'DEATH TO NORLAND', but she wanted to go with some grace, with some dignity. She took a deep breath.

"I pray to Yeu that my soul shall be in salvation in the snowy white fields of Her afterlife, I pray to Yeu to forgive those that take my life today, I pray that I may meet my husband, who's life was taken by the Cannonists, that I may meet him in the afterlife."

 

There was a pause, the rope that was strung tightly around her neck loosened.

 

"What ye say?"

 

She gazed bleakly at her captor. "My husband...he...was killed in a battle against the Cannonist forces."

 

Conflicting emotions showed in the visaged mans eyes. A great sigh escaped him, he pulled the rope off her neck, untying her wrists and ankles. He grabbed her hand, pulling her up.

 

"I've lost many a great men to Cannonists, get." 

 

She stumbled back, staring at him for a moment, and like a startled rabbit, she fled.

[!] Richard, husband to Carsandra in his life, the man killed by the canonist and brought back from death as an echo of his former self snarls, only hearing that they tried to kill her, storming out for their blood before Carsandra was able to tell him of their release of her.
