I Knew I would Die Here

The three hooded beings came stealthily, silently, secretively. The cobblestones gave nothing away as they sneaked past a few. I saw them, and wondered, but did not realize they were heading for me. It was too late to run, and my weapons were nowhere in sight. I thought I could take the one on the left But the sword-carrier would no doubt run me through if I did. The one in the middle looked the most dangerous; for he held two swords. One of them began to laugh. The sound was chilling; my muscles tensed. Cornered, I knew I would die here. Don’t you recognize me, Sister? It was my twin and her odd friends, having fun. She had never seemed more dangerous which is saying a lot. For she has always been diabolical and mean. I knew then I was in sincere danger.
