Lily's POV
We had arrived outside the forest and the town was beautiful, it was a bustling place, traders selling, buyers purchasing, kids running around. It was simply.... Amazing, and I didn't see anything "Dangerous" about it
I perceived something amazing and saw someone selling some.... Well, I didn't know what it was called. But I knew it would taste great
"William, can I please get that?" I asked
"Okay foodie, I'll get in line and get some for you. And you, wait by this fountain, please. Do Not! I repeat! DO NOT! Leave your position, don't tell anyone anything about you. In fact, talk to no one and pay attention to no one. Okay?" He said
"Yeah Yeah. I get it" I said rolling my eyes. Geez, they were so paranoid. He left to get the snack and I obediently stood by the fountain. That is until three men approached me, and they did not look friendly
"Well, Well, Well, what do we have here, looks like one of those wealthy brats" One with Crimson hair that looked like the leader said
"We want all your money girl!" Another said
"Will....." I wanted to call for help, but a hand covered my mouth, and I inhaled a foreign substance
Gradually, my eyelids became heavier and I struggled to keep them open, soon I gave in and everything went blank
***********************************************
I woke up to find myself being carried by one of the men. They were chatting along a forest path, and since they were distracted, I decided to strike! I gave the man carrying me, a hard kick on his stomach and he groaned. His groan alerted the other two and they turned to look at me
"Well, look who's awake! Didn't your parents ever teach you it's rude to hit elders?" The leader asked
"Not really, but I was taught how to defend myself from kidnappers" I said and threw him a punch, he dodged and caught my hand. Pinning me hard to the ground. Blood trickled down my arms as a sharp rock injured me. Well, that certainly didn't go as planned
"You're such an innocent looking girl. I would have loved to give you a nice treatment, but you decided to be feisty. So you'll suffer until your parents pay the ransom for your release" he smirked
"Leave her alone!!" A commanding voice that left no room for argument said
