"What the hell?" I muttered just before I slammed into the ground. With a groan I rolled to the side narrowly missing a crude sword that tried to take my head off. 'Great, first I get sucked into a portal and now something wants me dead. Guess it is just another day on the job.' I thought to myself.
I twisted behind the creature and rammed my elbow into his back. As he fell to the ground I smashed my foot into the back of his neck, effectively snapping it. Turning around I saw there was plently more of his race.
I hid behind a fallen tree and watched as they made their towards a small group. 'Man' I thought grabbing the crude sword off the ground and running towards them 'I am gonna get blood on my new boots.'
As I got closer I noticed the group was doing much better than I had thought they would be doing. Jumping up I sliced the nearest creature from the neck down to his hips. Turning I swung the blade into the side of another, pushing it in as deep as I could.
Ducking a blade, I dropped to a knee and pulled the sword partly out to block a down coming blade. Kicking up into it's chest I knocked him back and into another of his comrades. Pulling the blade out I wipped it backwards neatly decapitated a creature.
Smiling I picked up another blade and blocked a fatal blow to one of my new allys. Sliding the other blade around I sliced his throat. Twisting back around I kicked another creature away, as I stabbed another running towards me.
The man tried to get up only to cry out in pain. Dropping the sword I threw my arm around him and helped him stand. Still holding him I realized that he had a wound from his chest to his stomach.
Slowly we made our way towards his group. Suddenly I stopped moving and kicked backwards. A creature grunted and fell to the ground, but his blade managed to nick me across the back.
"Let's go my new buddy." I told the barley awake man. Walking a little faster one of his fighting friends noticed us and made his way over. "Who are you?" The new man said in an odd language. "Yeah, you take him." I said pulling the injured man's sword out of the scabbard.
He yelled something else but I wasn't paying much attention. With a flick of my wrist I opened a deep wound on the back of a creature and blocked a side blow from another enemy. Blocking a side swipe we locked swords. He snarled and pushed harder against me.
Smiling I ducked under our blades and let his slide free, plunging my sword into his back. As he dropped to the ground I noticed an archer aiming for one of my new ally's to my left. The creature smiled and moved the man in range.
I threw the sword at the archer, but it was too late, he had already fired. Switching the sword to the other hand I moved towards him as fast as I could. I grunted as my hand closed around the arrow.
Turning back to the fallen archer I stabbed the arrow into the nearest enemy's neck. Stepping on the creature's chest I pulled the sword out and ducked my head as I stabbed the enemy coming up behind me in the stomach.
Turning I noticed that only a few remained, and were being quickly elimated. Looking around I noticed most of my ally's all had long blonde hair. Twisting I brought my sword up only to find one of my ally's.
"Would you come with me, please?" He asked pleasantly. I nodded and tucked the sword in between my belt and pants. I pulled a handkerchief from my bloody boots. I smiled as it was clean of blood and dirt and followed the man.
I winced as wrapped my bleeding hand. 'You getting slow,' I thought to myself. 'If the arrow graze's you this deep.' "You fight incredibly well, for a human." He said as we came to the edge of a forest. "Are you not human?" I asked, seeing about a good four or five dozen tents set up in and around the edge of the forest.
He laughed, "Of course I am not, I am an elf." I nodded and we made our way towards the center tent. This one was wider and taller than the other's. "A human woman?" I heard a familiar voice ask.
I smiled, "Hello again Giles." I said as we entered the tent. My smile widen as Giles spun around, his jaw dropping. "Nice outfit, G." I said taking in his tunic and tights. He frowned, "How did you get here? Only Buffy, Willow, and Zander knew I came here." He asked walking over to us.
"Funny story that is." I said crossing my arms. "I was fighting a vamp when a portal opened behind us. I dusted him but was pulled into the portal. Saw your buddies here fighting and decided to help 'em out a little."
"Your hurt." He said nodding to my hand. "No, just getting slow." I said with a smile. "You of all people are not getting slow." Giles said taking a look at my hand.
