Chapter 1

She had her back to the wall. Surrounded. With no way out. Armed only with her father's old dagger. Respira didn't know what to do when she looked into the ugly faces of the thieves. They watched every movement of the girl with glee and greed. They had found another victim who was also carrying a horse. Big Booty! They thought they had an easy time of it, but the girl didn't give up that easy. She fought with all her might. That didn't do her much for a long time, but at the moment everyone who approached her got a bad cut.
For a long time she would not be able to keep the gang at bay.
Two men finally attacked her at the same time. One was injured, but the other managed to catch her armed arm, which he now clutched with an iron grip.
"What do you think of attacking young girls?", Suddenly the voice of a man rang out, who was now riding on a white horse through the band of robbers.He must have appeared recently because Respira hadn't noticed him until now. Angrily, he stared down from his horse at the bandit who was holding Respira's hand. Scared, he let go of it immediately.
"Come on, jump up!" The young man called to her now. Somewhat uncertainly, she complied with the request. After all, she didn't want to jump from one disaster to the next. But right now everything was better than this lustful gang of rabble. Who knows if they'd let her go after robbing her. So got on the horse and her "savior" blew up. She almost fell off the animal's back, but at the last moment she clung to the young man.
They rode quietly for a while until he was sure that they had disappeared from the area of ​​the tribe of thieves. Then they took a rest on the bank of a river.
The water was pleasantly cool when Respira dipped her hands. She greedily took a few sips and tried to concentrate on keeping her head as cool.She tried to organize her thoughts, but she didn't really want to succeed. She always had the feeling that she was being watched. When she looked up she knew why. The young man stood next to his horse and kept looking at her.
When he noticed that she was staring at him in disbelief, his eyes took away from her and he turned to his horse. Respira later decided to yell at him for his stare but at the moment she had something else on her mind.
"Do you think they're chasing us?" She asked, with an unmistakable resonance of fear in her voice.
"No, we left the area of ​​the tribe of thieves some time ago. Usually they don't dare to cross the border," he replied reassuringly. "How did you get into this situation?" He asked.
"I don't really know either. I went with Midnight ... Midnight! He's still with these criminals. I didn't take him with me earlier. My poor horse, what are they going to do with you now?"", she said almost incomprehensibly." Don't worry about your horse. He can handle the pack. ", he tried to calm her down.
Startled from the self-reproach, she stared at him and didn't know what to say. Her father had given it to her. He would kill her if he found out that she had "lost" the expensive horse. ... your father ... actually it made no difference anymore. She wouldn't see him again.
She gave a terrible start when she heard a branch crack behind her. But when she turned around she saw a small deer grazing on the edge of the nearby forest.
"So what happened?" The boy tried to get her to talk again.
"Well, I was walking down the street, my horse on the reins next to me. And suddenly they were there! I couldn't even get up and ride away, they surrounded me so quickly. I didn't know what to do when I was the little one Dagger pulled from my belt.They were all much bigger and ... and ... "She got no further, she sagged on the floor and burst into tears. Respira was completely upset when the young man took her in his arms and slowly patted her back." Don't worry . I will take care of you now. Everything will be fine. Quiet ... ", he spoke soothingly to her. But Respira didn't want to calm down. She cried. She cried all the fears, all the frustration, all the loneliness of the last few weeks be more strong. The boy, didn't ask her why she was crying so much. Not yet. He just sat there and held her in his arms.
After a while she fell asleep from exhaustion. He picked it up gently and went to his horse. At a signal, the horse knelt and he could easily get on with her. It was still a long way to his home and he didn't want to wake her. Due to the slow, careful trot of the horse, it was already dawn when they arrived at a small hut.-----
Thank you for reading! This * nachobendeut * is my first fanfic and I wanted to ask you if I should upload the other Kapis (which are still a lot in the works but good) here. I would be very happy about clerks of any kind,
