The Locket

Sam was frozen in place. Whatever this thing was, it was trying to kill her. It had short, ugly dark yellow stubs coming from's it's eyebrows, and it's face was a dark ruddy red. It's ugly, yellow teeth stuck out and saliva dripped from's it's mouth. It was dressed in goat wool, and it had no shoes whatsoever. It had a long, scared sword that it held over it's odd, egg shaped head. Sam didn't stand there long. The thing swung it's sword and Sam ducked. Her heart raced faster than her feet. The thing was in hot pursuit. She noticed the monster was riding a minature dragon-like thing with a shaggy mane and big, gunky ears. It slithered fast, and it was after her. Sam ducked under a low tree branch and tripped. She looked down over the steep, steep hill. She had to do this. She got up and jumped over the edge. She went sliding down. She tried in vain to slwo herself, but it was impossible. She fell face first into the ground. She rolled over and groaned. Her ribs felt broken. She screamed when she saw the thing coming at her. It jumped in the air and came falling down at Sam. Sam closed her eyes and waited for the blow. But she heard a screech and a sword being hit by another sword. he opened her eyes. A tall, handsome with long, wavvy dark hair and a small beard had jumped between Sam and the monster. He was fighting with grace and great strength. Sam tried to sit up, but her side's and chest were on fire. She fell back and held back a scream of pain. The man finally warded off the beasts. Sam tried to thank him, but he shushed her. "Quiet, little one, I fear you are near death." Sam laid her head back and closed her eyes. Everything swirled and she felt like throwing up. She felt strong, gentle arms picking her up and walking her to a horse. Then, she felt herself being swung up on the horse and the horse galloped off. Then, she passed out with fatigue.
