++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ With The Ramgards (11) The Guard Gorham...
..... I sat there for some hours. I wasn't sure the exact number. I had found myself sitting, standing, pacing and staring out the small window over and over again. The only view to aee out of it was an alley and another building to the right. Trees to the left, but not much else. I would look up amd see some sky. Some blue, then clouds, then blue again. I huffed in frustration as I waited for someone to come back. Anyone.
"How long can this take" I grumbled.
But alas. All i could do was wait. Again sitting back down for a time, then getting up again to look out the window at wall and sky again. "Blast them" I shouted at the wall
Then after another 20 or so minutes I heard the latch on the large wooden door to this cell that I was being held in. Then it opened with a heavy creaking. I expected to see the bug brutw Gorham. But it was not him. Itvwas one od the other guards from before. A younger smooth faced fellow with blondes hues if hair. He gazed at me and then said for me to get up.
"They will see you now. Sinner" he gawfed
I got up and walked towards him. This younger man was quite muscular. His arms free and strong. His body leaner that the bigger Gorham. But he was striking and had longer hair.
"Follow.me" he said "Yes sir" I said back
Then I followed him. He leaned mw through a large and bright corridor. Large chandeliers hung from a tall ceiling to the place. Then I was lead into the cathedral of the church itself. I was lead through the aisle passed the seemingly endless pews of worship. Near the pulpit itself were a half dozen men. All in their robes. The priests would judge me.
"This is ominous" I said to myself. "I am not so sure I wish to be here" "To be judged again for being who I am"
But I sat down before the priests. They all regarded me as I sat there. A very young man alone in the world.
"So, boy. You wish to enter our village?" one asked
I just gazed at the man. He was heavy set per his round face. Although the beard he held made him not unattractive. I took a deep breath and then spoke.
"I m a cast out sir" I stated "For what crime?" came another voice
I looked at the second priest. He was very handsome. Also bearded. Bit he was of fairer hair and didn't look at me so contemptuously. So again I breathed in. Turning to the handsome priest.
"Forgive me father" I then added "I do not fully believe the teachings" "Why?" He asked again "What do you have issue with son"
I knew I had to reveal my crime. But I was sure they knew it already. I was sure the guards had assumed it and relayed their assumptions to the priests. So I spoke of my crime. Spoke of my love for another man. And then revealed that man to be a priest, such as they were. The fat one looked at me aghast. Horror filling his round face. Then an almost angry look bare upon his brow.
"This is the higest blasphemy" he declared "To violate the teachings is one thing" "But to desire a priest" "He is still bit a bit" said the other one "He has committed sin. But is still a boy" "A lost boy"
He might hair priest looked upon me with a softened face. A look of pity for my circumstance.
"Noo!" Blasted the other again. "His sin must be condemned"
Then there arose a heated discussion between several of the priests. I sat thete, feeling alone and overwhelmed by their charges. All I wanted to do was leave that place. I looked back to see thw guard standing not far behind me. Blocking the only exit I seemed to have. I slouched own and brought my hands to my face and began to weep. The shouts between the priests continued. Louder still. That was until what appeared to be the elder priest stood. He shouted at them. Raising his hands to halt
"Silence!" He shouted out "We must confer on this together" "Not fight before the boy"
They all fell silent. He stated that they would indeed discuss what should ne done to me. I feared with the callings of this as 'Highest if blasphemies" that they may give me a graver punishment than just being cast out again. I feared for my life now. "Take him back to the holding chamber" he stated to the guard
I was then grabbed by the young guard. Lifted off the chair and pulled roughly out if the church. Hw was harsh in me. Pulling and sometimes dragging me as I fell.
"Move filth" he growled "They shall give you a much deserved punishment" "Pray for a swift death boy" "Noo" I cried "Please. Just release me sir. Please!"
He tossed me into the original chamber I had been held in. I hit the floor hard. Scraping my knee against the stone. I crawled to the floor in a fetal position and just cried. Where was Val. Where was my guardian. I was doomed to whatever they felt I deserved. And I had no one to give me aide. I was alone. So I sobbed.
"Where are you my priest" I cried lastly
Then I remembered the window. I looked up sniffling my sobs off. I had to escape. So I pulled myself up and quickly moved to the window. It was tall but thin. I glanced out and looked at the passageway between the building.
"I can try and climb out" I said to myself "Climb out and flee"
So I attempted to crawl up to the ledge. Grasping at it and puuling myself up. It was hard due to the size of the aperture. But I was able to get myself up. I crawled up into the tight space and looked back out. To the left and to the right. I saw no one. The issue was the drop from the window down was a substantial one. The room was much higher than the ground below. It had to be 10 feet or more. I feared the jump may be to high, and I may injure myself dropping below. But I had no choice. I had to jump. So I scooted myself to the edge. Ready to pull myself down. Bit thats when a guard came around the corner to the left. He turned into the passageway and walked towards my direction.
"Noo" I huffed "Not now. Noo".
I pulled back and pressed myself to thw wall of the window. I had to wait for him to pass. So I stayed there. Silent. As silent as I could possibly be. Barely taking breaths. Yet my heart was pounding in my chest. Then I saw him pass me below. I glanced over the edge to see his helmet as he moved through the passageway. But I still had to wait for him to pass at the other end. To turn around the other corner.
"Hurry, hurry" I huffed silently "Go. Turn the corner"
But as I moved back to the edge to get ready to jump down again a hand grabbed me. A big hand. I screamed and fell forward. But the hand held me from toppling out. And to the hatd stone below.
"Stop!" Came a deep mans voice
He gtabbed me and pulled me in. Back through the hole of thw window. I cried out for freedom.
"Noo!" I pleaded. "Noo. Please release me!" "Silence boy" the man chimed as he pulled me in "They will hear you"
His big wrapped over my face to silence my cries. I was pulled into his large frame. Then lookes to see it was the original 'big' guard from the gates. I felt his huge form against me. But still tried to cry out. But could not
"Hush boy" he crowed "Hush." "They mean to kill you."
I knew that it was what was planned. From the moment I was pulled from the circle of priests. I feared it. But was hoping just to be sent away. Now I had the big brutish guard grabbing me. Holding me from fleeing.
"Come with me boy" he said "I can hide you until the sun falls" "Then lead you out of the city myself"
I looked at him. Tears in my eyes. Wondering what he qas doing. Was he going to help me? I knew not. But I had to follow him. I had little choice in the matter. Then he gave me a wrap. He covered me in it and said to stay low. That he would lead me from the church and to a hiding place. "They will not find you there." He said
But before we left he had me hide in an alcove under the stairs. And told me to stay there until he returned.
"I shall lead them elsewhere" he said "Then take you from the church." "I shall tell them you escaped through that window. "
Then he pressed his finger to his lips as he hushed me again. Then he winked at me as he left me there. Thw space was a dark littlw spot under the stairs. Amd no pne wouls even think to look there for anyonw as it faced away from all passageways. There was a large stone statue next to it and that was all. I stayes there as the guard instructed. Just breathing there in the dark. Then halting my breath when I heard voices and people walking up or down the stairs.
"Escape" I heard from afar "Escape!"
The near quiet was then broken by the sounds of guatdd running through the church. I huddled down as some passed where i hid. Back at forth, up and down the stairs the men rushed. "Out side!" A voice shouted "He is outside"
Then some men paused near the stairs. Then one of the priests was speaking to them. I then heard the brutish man that hid me where I currently was.
"He went out the window" he said "But the fall would injure him" the priest said. "I saw a cart pass through as I looked for him." "He most likely jumped into it. "
The man was lying to save me. And I was quietly thanking him as he did. Blessing his kindness.
"Well find him Gorham" the priest demanded "He should have not been placed in that room"
Then Gorham summoned His men. Telling them to search the village. Saying that I could not have gone far. And to check feed wagons in the vicinity. Then he cleared his throat roughly. Then said to the priest that they would find me.
"He cannot exit the gates without being seen" he said "We shall find him eminence" "Good. I cannot have such sin infest this place" the priest stated.
Then the men disbursyd and all grew quiet. I was now keft there in the dark. For several.hours. I wanted to go, to flee. But the brutish guard Gorham insisted I not go anywhere until he showed. So I did as distrusted. Stayed under the gloom of the alcove under the stairs. For many hours. I actually dosed off after a while. Then sometime later I awoke to a voices again. I almost gasped as I heard them close. I feared someone would. Find me there. That they would see the dark alcove. And seize me there. Then a light flickered on. Glowing some feet from where I sat in the dark.
"How could he have eacaped?" The one said "Sinners have the aid of the devil" "The demons of sin must have guided him to escape"
It sounded like one of the priests speaking to someone else. Then they acknowledge someone else coming towards them.
"Ah. Gorham. What say you?" The man asked
It was the big guard who was helping me. He had come to tell the priests his findings.
"He is gone" he said "The south wall shows signs he was there" "How so" came the priest "A tree along the wall has broken branches around it." "And there waa this"
I did not know what he was showing them. But he seemed to get their confidence in his tale as the sighed.
"A shred if his garment?" The man said "Yes" Gorham stated "It was obviously ripped from him and he tried to cross the wall "And there are four prints on the other side"
The priesya insisting I was guides there by demons.
"He is long gone by now" the other man said "I have my men searching the edges of the forest beyond. " "But I have doubt we shall find him" Gorham added
The priest hopes the forest would eat me alive in hate. Then Gorham said he would inform his eminence. Then left the men
The two men then broke and left thw area. One went up the stairs. I sighed. Feeling a cramp in my stomach. I was hungry. But I knew not how much longer I was to stay there. And my lower back ached from the hunched position I had been in.
"I should try and leave" I said to myself "He may have forgotten about me"
So.i began to creep from the alcove. Then I heard footfall again. I cursed it and crawled back into the spot. Whomever it was slowed hia steps. Then stopped entirely. I felt my heart begin to beat harder. My breath was heavy. And I could not stop it. Did someone hear me? Was I to be found?
"Boy" came a whisper "Boy. I am hear"
My heart was pounding as he spoke. But then I rralized it was the guard, Gorham. So I breathed in a sigh of relief.
"Come boy" he said again.
So I stepped out from my hiding spot and into the dimly lit front room near the stairs. I saw the man who was helping me. His garments had changed and. No longer in his uniform. But standard garments. He let out his hand. I stared at him for a moment. His look seemed utterly hamdsome. I did not know if it was the lighting of his change of wear or just for the fact that he was helping me. But he looked wonderful to my eyes.
""Come. Follow me boy" he said
At that moment I would have followed him anywhere......
