Laurel starred in horror at Tamani. She knew he'd be watching but she never would've guessed he would come strait out and greet them or worse, interrupt them.
"What are you doing here?" David glared at Tamani.
"What am I doing here? I guard here, and what exactly are you doing here?" Tamani replied confidently.
Laurel stood up and smacked Tamani in the arm while giving him a look that said, you know very well what he's doing here. Tamani held his gaze and didn't soften. David put a protective arm on Laurel's shoulder, not that if Tamani attacked he could protect her.
"Sorry to crash your party, David but you've had your fun." Tamani's swagger overwhelmed them as he stepped closer.
"Come on, Laurel lets go," David pulled Laurel back towards his car. As David leaned down to kiss Laurel on the forehead Tamani bristled.
"I don't think Laurel has to go anywhere if she doesn't want to," Tamani said as he closed in on David.
"Tam, let him go," Laurel said in a commanding voice, she took a deep breath and said, "Shar, I know you're watching this, come out."
Shar crept out from behind a moss covered redwood. He grunted and made a gesture with his head that made it seem like it would be wise of Laurel to follow. She made her way to the edge of the forest where Shar was and then waited for him to speak.
"Come, we must let them sort this out for themselves," he said in his deep powerful voice.
Shar and Laurel strode of into the forest on the Orick property. They passed the river where Laurel and Tamani used to meet. Shar made sure Laurel followed him and run back to the boys, until they came to a clearing. Long pale-green grass wiped in the wind creating a ripple across the whole clearing. Shar motioned for Laurel to sit down on a nearby tree stump.
Laurel didn't know how to react, or what to talk about with Shar. She wasn't even sure conversation was the right thing to have with him; he had always been such a mysterious character to her. The silence seemed to last forever as they sat there gazing off into oblivion.
"So have you guys had any problems with Barnes?" Laurel asked suddenly.
"No the troll using the name Barnes has not given the sentries any recent trouble." Even when Shar spoke he sounded coarse and with no emotion.
A sound of crunching leaves came from behind Laurel, she quickly snapped around to see what was happening. A dismantled came out from behind a briar, Laurel began to cringe when two others followed the man with a dismantled face. Shar stood up and was immediately on edge.
"How are you my little pixie friends?" A crooked grin stretched across the dismantled man's face.
"Barnes," Laurel said slow low that it would be illegible to the human ear.
"The one and only," Barnes sneered.
"Hey big guy can you step aside? We kind of need Blondie and you're getting in the way," one of Barnes's minions gestured towards Laurel. "I haven't had a slave in years and trust me I could really use a health elixir made by my own personal fall faerie."
Laurel turned around and began to sprint through the clearing. She knew she couldn't outrun a troll but it was the only thing she could think of doing at the time.
"Wait for me, Blondie!" Barnes's minion began to make chase after Laurel.
Shar blocked the minion from passing him.
"Oh so you're a big tough guy now," The troll threw a punch at Shar.
Shar easily blocked it and began crushing the minion's balled up hand. The troll tried to sweep Shar off his feet with a swift kick but Shar easily dodged that. Shar then went on the offensive by punching the troll in the nose and kneeing him I the rib cage, the troll fell to the ground.
"You really think you can stop me with that?" The troll mumbled as he began to rise to his feet again.
Barnes and the two trolls jumped onto Shar, pinning him to the ground while punching and slamming him. Laurel onto the scene with horror. She knew she couldn't help Shar; she wasn't near strong enough to even fight an adolescent troll.
Five more figures sprang into the clearing. Each different in their own way, one had tanned skinned with bright red hair, another had black hair with blue highlights and blue toned skin. These were the other faerie sentries, Laurel was so happy to see them she felt a glimmer of hope rise in her. The faeries stripped the trolls off of Shar and began fist fighting them. One faerie produced a bright orange light blinding the trolls; that was the work of a summer faerie.
From across the clearing two new trolls came into view, one was up in a tree the other was sitting on a boulder each had a strange figure they were holding up. Once Laurel recognized the figures tears began to swell in her eyes and her nose began to run. In the arms of the troll in the tree David was unconscious and curled up in a ball. Slung over the other trolls shoulder was Tamani, limp.
"What should we do with these?" The troll up in the tree asked Barnes who was standing atop a faerie.
"Dispose of them; I don't care what you do with them you can beat them with sticks for all I care!" Barnes ordered as another faerie flew at him.
"You hear that Elliot we can do whatever we want with them." A smile grew on the face of the troll sitting on the boulder as he said this.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Harry?" The troll in the tree asked in a voice that seemed to giggle.
"Well, let's find out," Harry said as him and Elliot flew into the forest with David and Tamani.
Laurel collapsed to her knees, the two people she cared about most were going to be brutal killed by rolls and she was helpless against it.
"Go after them, Laurel!" Shar yelled from the brawl across the clearing. A troll punched him across the face, "Go now, Laurel!" he ordered.
Laurel began to make chase after Elliot and Harry. I hope I can save them.
End Note: I hope you enjoyed the new chapter, please review. I'm thinking about making this about three or four chapters tell me what you think. Next chapter, the beginning will be from Tamani's POV when he fought with the trolls.
