“Move and you will die,” a man whispered in my ear, snapping my eyes open.

The man dragged me by my hair to a sitting position. Before I could scream, a knife appeared, digging into my neck. Still dark, my eyes weren’t adjusting fast enough to assess the situation accurately.

“There is nothing here,” another man said from across our small camp.

Sir Bertrant picked a small clearing off the main road the night before. The horses and I were exhausted. Camp was set up quickly and quietly. We had nothing to discuss after that uncomfortable experience with the burned down village. I crashed within minutes of laying my head on the blanket roll.

“Keep looking. This one is too well dressed to be alone,” the man behind me said. “His master is hiding their coins nearby.”

My night vision came into focus and I saw a total of three robbers. Thunder and Lightning were nowhere to be found. I prayed they were hiding from these fools. Sir Bertrant was missing as well.

Did he abandon me here? Is he dead?

“I haven’t found the knight. Are you sure he is here?” the third man asked, coming into view. He was unimpressive, with his pot belly and rosy cheeks. If I added in his short height and wrinkled skin, he seemed more like a grandpa than a deadly robber. None of the robbers used names, so I started calling the guy behind me Knife Guy for obvious reasons.

“Of course I am. Just keep looking,” Knife Guy ordered.

My eyes roamed the area. The horses were definitely gone and Sir Bertrant was indeed missing, making me think maybe they did abandon me after all. A cold sweat ran down my back, and I felt the need to scream.

“Madison, close your eyes. Sir Bertrant is right behind you,” Thunder communicated in my head.

I closed my eyes as quickly as possible.

“Ahhhh,” one of the men screamed.

“I’m blind,” another screamed.

“Madison, down!” Sir Bertrant yelled.

Knife Guy was behind me, but his knife no longer pressed as firmly against my neck. I kicked him in the shin as hard as I could. I didn’t cause too much damage, but it was enough for the robber to move the knife from my neck. Without waiting for another opportunity, I dropped to the ground. From the shadows, Sir Bertrant charged at the robbers. I had underestimated his skills and abilities. Sir Bertrant was the definition of stealth and efficiency. The two robbers on the far side were disarmed and knocked out before I even had time to blink, a quickness I’d never expected from a former drunk.

Knife guy was turning around in circles, scanning for the culprit but coming up empty each time. I rolled out of the way before he stepped on me. Unfortunately, I was not nearly as stealthy as Sir Bertrant, and the robber had all the time he needed to grab my leg before I could get far enough away.

“You are not going anywhere boy,” Knife Guy told me.

I had never heard
