Has it been days? Months? Years? I don't know anymore. Time doesn't seem to matter like it did. Everything just blends together; melting into the same day over and over again. It could have been only hours since we've escaped the fire and still I wouldn't have noticed.
"Faith?" Sake moved around my jacket and I felt his scales brush against my neck. "Faith." He repeated.
"What?" I could tell my tone was hard and my cloths settled in around his body.
"Faith. Did you hear that?" Without stopping I side stepped quickly aside of the busy street, letting my ears steer me towards a quieter street.
I didn't know what strange town I had stopped in; and I didn't know how far away from my home it was. But I did know that if Sake felt that we were in danger the Alliance wasn’t too far behind us. How long since I had even shown my face to another was to long to remember. But I didn’t think what I had done was forgotten even now. How long was it since that day? Not long enough.
"They're coming Faith. How did they find us so fast? There is no way that we where recognized that fast." Sake moved again under my jacket and I felt him move towards my legs.
"Maybe they're not coming for us." Again I felt my voice crack. I had used it more than I had in years and I could feel it faltering under the heavy use.
I let my footsteps slow as I felt eyes drawing closer. It was now or never. Sake dropped from under my jacket and I stepped over him quickly unbuttoning my jacket. This would be close. Where ever I was tight and cramped and the masumune would do little good here. Even so I pulled the still sheathed sword from my belt and dropped behind a wall. I could hear the steps of many people drawing closer; and by the heavy tread I knew they were all men; and all from the Alliance. Making sure my hood was still held low over my eyes I stood and waited.
And like the men of the Alliance I knew from so long ago they swore and cursed boots running over garbage and pounding the street. I smirked. Things haven't changed and they were still arrogant. Sliding the masumune only a few inches from its sheath, I listened and I waited. I had no want to fight them.
“I know they went this way Sir!” A rough voice called out followed by curses by what I assumed was their leader. Their PETS sniffed the air and I heard my own breath escape my lips. Their leader yelled again but what he said escaped my ears.
“THERE!” Again they took off running past where I stood and I knew that I was not their target.
“Faith.” Sake slid around my ankle and I waited for him to continue. “I think they are after another Un-Aligned.”
“Let’s hope so.” My voice was rough and gravely. I wonder if this really was what I sounded like. Sliding my masumune fully away I left my jacket undone and the sword loosely in my hand. Snapped my head around I heard yelling and someone shooting.
