Stay Home.

Remaining in just a shirt and panties, you wander to a dusty cupboard and take out a small wooden box. You open it, removing a dry loaf of bread and tear a portion off before returning the box. You then open a separate cupboard and remove a chunk of cheese before taking a plate from the counter and placing the food onto it. You then grab a mug and fill it with water supplied by a tank. Mid-way through your snack, you hear a scream coming from outside and curiously open your door to check it out. As you do, you notice a heavily armored man arriving on a horse; he draws his claymore and charges at two peasant males, slicing one across the chest and forcing the other to retreat. Scared and confused, you assume this is the product of protests made by peasants recently, and that King William has ordered for the unrest to be cleansed, but you've done nothing wrong! Within minutes thick smoke consumes the local area as fire burns people and their homes, and you sit inside sobbing and praying for your life. The front door opens and slams shut, but you are relieved to see your brother, Louis, has returned home in the chaos, but wearing padded armor and wielding a sword.
"Leiya! Thank god you're okay..." he says, hugging you. "It's Leofwines men.. they seek to pillage Londinium and kill everyone.. I've been called into service to defend by King William.. but we're outnumbered at least 3 to 1. You need to come with me; if we get civilians to the docks we can evacuate them." he continues as the front door is smashed open by the large axe of an even larger man, who screams a battle cry before charging at Louis. You shriek in terror as the axe swings into Louis' leg, almost cutting it clean off, but it is the attacker that is bested in the end as your brother strikes a clean stab through the man's chest before falling down, bleeding heavily. "Arghh.. go, sister.." Louis says quietly. "They will only keep coming, and do not show mercy.." he gasps as he appears to fall into a blood-loss trauma.
