Witch Are You Chapter 5

Sorry I posted this on Wattpad then forgot to post it on here. Also sorry it's a shorter chapter.

______________________________________________________Eralynn ran from the side of the house and through the door.

  Sophia started to try to escape the guards grasp again after previously giving up. She started screaming Eralynns name before the guard that was holding her took his sword and hit Sophia in the head with the pommel, hard. Sophia went limp and silent in the guards grip.

  Eralynn screamed Sophias name. She tried to run towards her but felt someone grab her waist and pull her back. She was spun around and saw Darik looking down at her. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her away behind the house.

   “I thought you were told to wait on the side of the house?” He said, looking frustrated

  “I did not want to stand aside and watch as you filthy bastards took my-” Eralynn paused, not sure what she was about to say “took Sophia.”

   “You have been accused of breaking multiple laws. You are wanted by the king personally.” Darik tells her “He has too many guards out looking for you. You are not safe and I can not protect you.”

  “What do I do? Sophia is gone and I'm wanted by the bloody king!” Eralynn began to pace, “This is all your fault!” She stopped pacing and screamed

  “This is not my fault.” Darik says, grabbing her by the wrist again so tightly Eralynn let out a gasp in pain “ This is your fault for thinking you could go behind your husband's back with a woman. You brought this on yourself, you wench.”

  That pushed Eralynn off the edge. She snatched her wrist out of his grasp and shoved him by the chest. She expected to just shove him far enough away to make a run, but instead she shoved him with enough force to send him flying almost to the road.

   She turned around and ran. She ran past the house to the end of the village. When she reached the end of the village where only a few spread out houses were she turned and ran into the woods. She ran until she reached a small shack. Hesitantly, she approached the shack. She had nowhere else to go and the guards were behind her. She felt sad and betrayed. She had to find a way to get Sophia back.but she couldn't go back to the city with the guards after her. She knocked on the door of the shack and got no answer other than the squeak of the door as it slowly inched open.

  As Eralynn entered the shack she saw a small room filled with boxes. There was a door on the right of the room. Eralynn heard voices coming from the door and began to approach it. Before she made it to the door, though, it opened and three women stepped out of it.

  “You must be Eralynn.” A woman with scandalously short blond hair said “We've been expecting you.”
