No Place For Young Girls [RP Post]

[ThatWeirdGirl 432]

An elven girl sat at the counter, stifling a yawn with her fist. She was fairly certain it was her birthday today, six years since she had left home with her small rucksack. She could still remember the night, the moon large and round. Bats swooped overhead and owls hooted.

 

That was years ago, and she was thirteen now. A teenager! Practically independent. She stared down at the book, brow furrowed in concentration. Harlan had promised her to teach her how to read, so maybe she'd be able to understand the jumbled mess. Soon enough, she figured.

 

The sound of metal on metal drew her attention from the book, the girl feeling her heart sink as she watched two darkly armored men enter. She stood up quickly, greeting them as the made their way to the shelves of medications. That was when the sound of steel on steel drew her attention, and she looked over her shoulder. The man behind her had large claws coming from his gauntlet's knuckles, fatally sharp. The other one stepped forward.

 

The girl's eyes widened, and she dove for the counter, finding herself fall short. Her feet were torn out from under her, a sharp cry and shout escaping her before a cold metal hand covered her mouth and forced her into silence. Cold, sharp claws tore through the flesh on her skin. Then her wrist as she flung it up, barely protecting her throat. Her thin bones cracked and shattered under the blow.

 

A voice broke the silence, and she found herself being released. She dove for the counter again, shoving herself under it. She reached out for the man outside the gates, but she found the gates closing on her. She was trapped with her attackers, something that became painfully obvious as she was backed into the corner. All she felt was pain, all she heard was the pounding of boots on wood. A single voice stood out, just for a moment.

 

"Okarn!"

 

Everything went dark and silent.

 

Though she lay unconscious and bleeding, the young girl soon found herself surrounded by loved ones. Ones she didn't even know she had. Maybe one she would never know of. She was in fate's hands, now.
