[ WP ] `` Hi , my name is Geraldine , I 'll be your soldier . ''

Geraldine followed the squire as he guided her down the hallway. Looking down her chest she marveled at the gleaming chain mail they had supplied her with only yesterday. 
 
 *They sure have nice gear* she thought. 
 
 Before long they reached the Earl's chamber. 
 
 `` Sir, let me introduce you to the latest addition to your personal guard,'' the squire said, motioning her to move in front of the Earl. 
 
 The Earl looked at her squarely with only a trace of a smile in his face. 
 
 `` Hi, my name is Geraldine, I'll be your soldier,'' she said bowing. 
 
 The Earl reached to his side to pick up what would become her new sword. He offered the grip to her. She took it and held it both hands and with a sharp movement moved to stick it on the base of his chest with the blade pointing toward his heart. Blood spewed out of his artery and he looked at her in horror as he fell down. 
 
 She only had a moment to look at him, lying on the floor in a pool of blood, before she felt a sharp pain on her back. 
 
 *Now I can go in peace* she thought, as she lied on the floor dying next to the killer of her parents.
