Well, this is the second fanfic I have wrote. My first got all positive reviews so I'm hoping this will go the same way. So without further rambling let the story begin!
------------------------------
"Hey get up it's your shift." One of my sisters said to me shaking me awake. The night shift, the time when the worst monsters tried to get into our little fort. Protecting The rogue Encampment was our day to day job for the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye. At least ever since we fled from the Rogue Monastery. I stood up and quietly thanked my sister for waking me. Quickly picking up my equipment, and taking my place at the entrance of the camp I relived the previous guard and took my post. After a few minutes of watch, a small red skinned devilkin swinging a torch with some guts tried to rush in. "Rakanishu!" it shouted before I charged my arrow with ice and launched it through it's skull. It quickly dropped to the ground. "I hate the night shift." I muttered to myself.
After what seemed like forever Kashya, our strong and noble commander, shouted an order for the whole camp to hear. "ROGUES LINE UP!" Taking this time to be used as a break I slung my bow over my shoulder and walked to the center of the camp. Taking a place in line I waited for my orders. "This man here has killed Blood Raven. One of you will be chosen as his mercenary." I looked at this man that Kashya said killed the corrupt one known as Blood Raven, that at one time was one of our strongest sisters. Looking at him I suddenly wished I didn't. He looked tall but was horribly hunched over, so that his hands nearly brushed the ground. His arms looked longer than normal and where lined with strong looking, but wiry muscles. His hands where defiantly much bigger than normal. He had some thin leather armor covering his chest and some thin dirty pants. Their original color long worn out. His large finger nails where long and sharp. He was filthy, covered in fresh and drying blood.
Taking a look at his face I was surprised to see a cloth covering everything below the eyes. But his eyes where a bloody red. They seemed to glow, but I couldn't tell if it was from the fire in the center of the camp, reflecting off of them or his eyes them self. Long black dirty hair fell to his shoulders. On his back was a strange weapon two large blades with a handle in the middle connecting them both. His raspy breathing could be heard even though he was a few yards away. Kashya didn't seem too happy to let one of her rogues go and kept sending a cold look in his direction.
He slowly walked up to the line and walked down it. As he went around to the back I couldn't help having a thought go through my head. "Great a pervert. I just hope he doesn't chose me." As he came back around he took his original spot and scanned us. "Like that one." The man rasped. Lifting a muscled arm to point at me. I mentally cursed and prayed he wasn't pointing at me. "Dianna step forward." Kashya called. I stepped forward and looked straight ahead. "Yesssss." The man rasped again. I closed my eyes and shuddered. This wasn't going to be good.
I tried to listen as Kashya gave orders to the other rogues to get back into position but those red eyes kept distracting me. After she gave her orders she walked up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "May the Sightless Eye watch over you." She said, "May the Sightless Eye guard you." I replied. Then she stood in the middle of the camp, like many times before, and watched as me and the strange man walked out of the encampment, and out of it's safety.
As soon as we where out of ear shot the man spoke again in his raspy tone. "Magic you use, yes?" I nodded at this strangely worded question. "Show magic, you will?" He asked. I nodded and shot an ice arrow at a nearby zombie. "Ahhhhh, pretty, pretty cold rain." He muttered staring at where the arrow went, his eyes unfocused. I shuddered I didn't like the way he spoke. I just found it very creepy. "Speaking for bad rogues?" He asked training his red eyes on me, their sharpness back once again. "I've been told only to speak when spoken to sir." To this the man made a sound like he was choking. "Name sir, no, name Evilenko." I shook my head. Even his name was strange.
He started walking again not bothering to say any more. After some time of traveling while avoiding most monsters we entered Dark Wood. Evilenko looked up at the sky. The moon was full and it was in the middle of the night. "Sleep now we will." He said. Taking a large hand he dug into the ground next to a large rock. Making a deep trench in a few minutes there was now decent cover from onlooking monsters. "Down rogue, monsters leave thing they can't see." He rasped. I sat down but stayed on full alert. After an hour after Evilenko's eyes closed mine slowly started closing. If he moved I would be instantly awake. Nothing is more alert than a rogue... At least... that's what I told myself.
Something was pressed over my mouth. My eyes snapped open and was staring straight into the red eyes of the man. I tried to push him off me but as soon as I moved he slid under me. He wrapped his arm around my arms and held me still. I tried kicking but it was having no effect. I was panicking and needed to get free. After a minute passed he let me go. I quickly moved away got my bow and got an arrow ready. His back was turned to me and he leaped from the hole. Standing up to take a shot I was surprised to see Evilenko take out his strange weapon and spin it a few times then leap at a large, shaggy yellow haired beast. It's giant arms and body and short muscled legs didn't match with it's small, neck less head. Treehead Woodfist was this beast's name. The first slash Evilenko took against the beast had no effect, and he was swatted away like an insect.
Recovering I shot arrows as quickly as I could. As it turned to me I shot an ice arrow at the beast, slowing it down temporarily. Taking this chance to attack Evilenko raised his weapon above his head spinning it quickly. Then he took it in one hand palm up letting it spin on it's own momentum. The two blades hacked into the frozen flesh cracking it and splitting it. The beast's arm tore off and fell to the ground. Taking a very short second to look at the wound it roared then it attacked with renewed rage. Curling it's remaining hand into a first and punching Evilenko hard enough to lift him off his feet and sent him spiraling into a bush. Then the monster turned and locked eyes with me.
It charged towards me with pure killer intent. "If I die I will die fighting." I thought letting lose a barrage of arrows, yelling as I did so. The arrows only angered it. About a yard from me it stopped. A small bit of metal caught the light from the front of it's chest. Then with a fierce cry the metal moved quickly upward. The beast gurgled before the metal turned to the left and out. It was the strange blade. Then two large hands clasped around it's head. Ripping it to the right where the remaining flesh was the head came off. Treehead dropped to the ground and there was a bloodied Evilenko looking down on the carcass.
With out a word he took the blade and hacked off it's limbs. Disgusted at the sight of this I turned away. "rogues no like fresh meat?" He asked. I turned to answer and saw him lifting a part of the beast under his mask. Sickening crunching and gnawing sounds was coming from beneath it. "What are you?" I asked backing away. A sound of a bone splintering and crunching and raw meat being torn from the bone. He just turned his head and asked again. "Rogues no like fresh meat?"
