The Love of Books & Writing

I raised my hand to protect myself and he did the same, standing very close to me. I knew that if it came to it, he would try to protect me as well, even if that would cost him his life. I wish he wouldn’t. But I knew it was of no use to tell him that. He wouldn’t listen anyway, not even to me. He shot a very quick look at me, as if he was afraid that I would have disappeared. His pierced into mine and examined my pale face. I looked back and looked back. He didn’t have to be concerned about me, though – and I had to admit it – he had reason to. We always knew we couldn’t avoid this fight. We could have never, even if we’d tried. If we had wanted.

I knew that was no hope anymore that any of our friends would make it here in time. I f they weren’t dead by now. No, we would have to face them alone. I swallowed as I looked to our enemies. We were seriously outnumbered. It was three of us against all of them. How could we ever have thought we would have a chance to win this inevitable fight? I yet knew for a very long time that there were things that were more important than my own life, but this was the first time I was fully aware of it. The lives of other people, people I loved. I was prepared to give my life to save theirs. Only, would I – would we able to? Would our sacrifice be for nothing?

... Well, this is the prologue to my story. It's in two parts (the second part starting at the first reply) It's because I promised Mousie Soshie to put the story online. I hope you like it and I would be very pleased if you would give your opinion about it. Mind you- I don't speak English, I just like writing in English. Don't ask me why, all my friends think I'm crazy!

I really like this, I'm looking forward to what your write next ^_^
