Original X-roads-2003

    Jon half laughed once we were out of earshot, “You know you really shouldn’t be that way to poor Sertoff.”
    “Ahh, there’s not really any love lost there.” I heard a blaster shot ring from the room. I let go of Jon and raced back to the room, but I was not prepared for what I saw there.
    Jonothan’s limp lifeless body, I glanced at Sertoff setting the blaster back in his jacket. “Uh” I gasped and turned and raced out the castle, brushing Jamie slightly on the way out.
    “Hey! Watch it!” he shouted, and watched as Sertoff raced after her. “Oh no.” he muttered and raced after him, “Mesiaha!!!” he yelled on his way out.
    Mesiaha glanced out the sitting room door to see Jamie running outside, quickly she took chase.
    I raced to the circle of trees, inside I started zig zagging around, mindlessly running till I finally stopped and fell to my knees. This isn’t happening, I set my face in my hands.
    “It was him or me.” Sertoff was behind me.
    I jumped up unsheathing my sword, I took a swipe at him and missed. I geared up for my next swing.
    Jamie and Mesiaha stopped in near distance. “I dunno whut happened.” he held her back. “But Sertoff’s not even drawin hiz sword.”
    I went straight for his legs, watching him jump, then up again at his head.
    “He was going to make you his slave, you belong to me now.” his voice showed no remorse or kindness, no sympathy.
    I lunged straight to run him trough, but he moved again.
