Chapter Two - Pedestrian (b)
Author: Nicole MarcinaFrom the alleys to the busy streets, the chase - between the guards and I - continued on for a few minutes. When I thought I lost them, I would turn to look and they’re always not too far behind. But after a few more turns, they were finally gone from my sight.
“Good job, Lady!” I praised my champion.
As I turned right, someone was about to cross the street. “Whoa!” I shouted, causing Lady to stand.
“AAHH!” a scream was heard from the peasant, falling down at the sight of Lady. As she fell down, all of the fruit from her basket scattered on the road.
“Easy, Lady!” I shouted as I tried to calm Lady down. “Easy, girl!”
“Ugh…” the pedestrian, a woman, groaned as she tried to stand up.
As Lady calmed down, I hopped down to help the woman. “Madam, are you okay?” I asked as I ran to her. I helped her stand with all the care I can give, hoping what happened didn’t cause her any bruises or worse, injuries.
“Oh, um…” she tried to form a sentence as she looked around in a panic. “Yes, sir. However, my fruits are everywhere,” she started to recollect the fruits that we scattered. “I’m very sorry, sir, I wasn’t looking.”
“It is all my fault, madam. I shouldn’t be having my horse run through such a narrow road,” I said as I helped her retrieve her fruits. Then I noticed she almost left an apple. “Oh, you left an apple,” I started to reach for the apple.
“Oh, please, let me,” she started to reach for it as well.
Before we knew it, our hands touched, hers laid on top of mine. Her gentle touch caused somewhat of a spark for me. This caused us to look at each other and before I could say anything, I got lost in her beautiful, emerald eyes.

I squinted as I opened my eyes, slowly adjusting to the sun’s brightness. Though it was partially blocked by the leaves’ shadows, it still stung. I put my hand in front of my eyes as I sat up. Looking around, I saw nothing but the wide open plains. There was only the rustling of leaves above me as the wind blew gently.

“My son,” James returned to me as the doors closed. “I will talk to my investigators about this as soon as possible. In the meantime, I want you to be careful at all times,” he started. “Whoever sent this,” he rose the note a bit, “has their wrath prepared specifically for you.”
