The thunder strike hard as the rain pour down heavily,she ran as fast as her leg could carry her even though she look back most of the time her leg splash into the stagnant water in the ground.

"There she is" One of the men who is searching for her shouted as he sighted her and they all chased her heavily.

she cried hard remembering everything happening.

" Shot her" A man who seemed to be their leader yelled and an arrow was released.

It hit her leg hard and she screamed heavily,falling down into the stagnant water,she tried hard to remove it but she couldn't till they catch up with her.

" This is the end of you princess" A man in a black cloak said with a smirk on his lip.

" Kill her" He ordered in his baritone voice and the solders all shot her ,twelve arrows hit her and she spit out blood writtling in pains.

" she muttered some words and gave up a ghost".
