Sylvanas' Revenge

I pulled the hood deeper into my face and lowered my eyes. My whole body vanished in the blackness around me. I pressed myself harder against the tree-trunk.

Impatient my fingers stroke the hold of the bow in my hands. Everything was prepared. They would arrive soon.

I laid my bow aside and looked at the arrow. Its head glittered blue in the dim moonlight. An arrow saturated with poison. The plan was so perfect as I never dreamed about.

My banshees were going to take him right here. He was so dumb and would walk right into my trap. I started laughing. Finally I was going to get my revenge.

Now that I repossessed a body of my own and my will was free from Kel'Thuzad, I was going to kill him. He should suffer. I would cause him more agony than the one he caused me as he left me to the soulless Undead. He would scream till he got no longer strength to. Tonight Arthas was going to die bloody. This was my plan.

I heard them coming. My banshees accompanied Arthas. I had him right where I wanted him. He was weak. Only a handful of abominations and ghuls were there to protect him. I watched them arriving at the clearing. Arthas reined his horse in and looked around.

I laughed quietly and stayed in the shadow. He did not realized what was happening as my banshees attacked and brought down his guards.

Now it was my turn. Within seconds I stepped out of the shadow, drew my bow and shot. The arrow hit Arthas' neck and he flinched. Full of hate he looked up to me and I only grinned broadly.

'Sylvanas!,' he cried and raised his hand to where I hit him. I enjoyed his painful look.

Slowly I lowered my bow an stepped closer. He could not move. How poor. Helpless like a rabbit cornered by the fox.

'You walked right into this one, Arthas. It's time to even the scales.' A grin appeared on my face.

'Traitor!,' he gasped. 'What have you done to me?'

'It's a special poisoned arrow I made just for you, my dear', I answered. 'The paralysis you're experiencing now is but a fraction of the agony you've caused me.'

I heard him groan. As he tried to move his motionless body fell off his warhorse like a wet sack and landed hard on the forest ground. He breathed stertorously: 'Finish me, then.'

I stepped over Arthas and looked down at him with scorn. 'A quick death?,' I laughed dryly. 'Like the one you gave me? No, Arthas. You're going to suffer like I did.' I kicked him with my boots. 'Thanks to my arrow you can't even run.' Another time I kicked him into the stomach and heard him groan in pain. 'Give my greetings to hell, you son of bitch.' I drew my bow right above him and he looked into my eyes.

I do not know whether it was fear or whether he knew what was happening next. Before I could loosen the string I suddenly heard someone getting nearer. I looked up. It was a mistake, because all at once I faced Kel'Thuzad.

'Back you mindless ones!', he bellowed. 'You shall not fall today, my king.'

Immediately I turned my bow away from Arthas and fired on Kel'Thuzad. But he was already prepared. The arrow froze in the air and felt to the ground. I pulled the next one out of my quiver and aimed his retinue that pounced on my banshees.

They were to strong and killed my sisters with a single blow. The situation was hopeless. I stepped over Arthas and started running. But I would not give up that easily. For a last time I turned around.

'This isn't over, Arthas!,' I cried and glanced at him full of hate. 'I'll never stop hunting you! You and your spawn, you'll die.' I spit on the ground and looked at Kel'Thuzad before I disappeared into the shadow. I was going to return and the next time I would win.
