The only characters I own are Boo and Nevaeh.


When darkness touched innocents

Ever get that bad feeling. You know the one were you don't want to open your eyes because you afraid of what might be there when you do. Well I got that feeling right now and it's all brought on by the feeling that I'm being dragged. 'Yes I'm being dragged'.

I slowly open one eye so I could get a look at what had me. The first thing I noticed was that I was still in the woods and the second was the large beast that was pulling me be my ankle. The beast was mumbling to him self – something about brainless elves? - And he was hunched over like it was a lot of work just to pull me or some thing.

My first instinct was to try and struggle free but I didn't think that was going to work, he had a really tight grip. So I went with my second instinct which was to find a way to knock him down and then run for it! I ran my hands along the ground hoping to find some kind of rock or unusually heavy stick. It didn't take long. I rapped my fingers around a rock, the rock fit perfectly in my hand. -'It must be fate!'- With all my strength I hurled the rock at the beast. The rock tore throw the air soundlessly, complete missing it target and lading less then a yard away. 'Oh wow- I missed.' The beast stopped immediately and turned to face me, my ankle was still clutch in his hand. And I just though you might want to know that, he did not look happy at all...

"Ah, I thought you were going to be out for a good-long-while" the beast dropped my leg and took a step closer-"well I guess we will just have to fix that, wont we?" he extended he hands out to me in a way that made me think that he was going to try and strangle me but he didn't get the changes. Once again an arrow came and this time it pierced the beast in the side. 'I must have some kind of guardian angels, for that to happen twice'

The beast stumbled back but, it didn't fall this time; instead it turned ready to run but, he soon found that there was no where to run. A man with an arrow stepped out from behind a tree.

"There is no escape for you Orc. It is over!" The man pulled back on the bow to show that he men business. The Orc said nothing just crossed his arm and waited for the man to make his move. The man turned is attention to me.

"Come here." He made a motion with his head, that I was meant to obey but, I didn't, At less not right away- "quickly!" he beckoned again, after a few moments had past and this time I found myself moving. I slipped past the beast- it watched my every move –and when I reached the man he lowered his bow and the next few moments went by as a blur. Many man similar to the one I was standing next to, came out of the trees. And like an episode of cops, a few of the man ran up to the beast and wrestled it to the ground.

"What are they doing?" I questioned

"They taking him in for questioning"- he smiled and the man placed a hand on my back. "Come; let us get you cleaned up"

***

The man said his name was Orophin and that I was safe.

He took me to a camp were there were many people rushing around and they were all dressed like Orophin.

"How are you fairing, my lady?"- Orophin handed me a cup of some thing and gave a friendly smile. 'What ever is in that cup kind of look like chocolate so that's what were going to say it is'

"I'm fairing just fine thank you" I said cheerfully then, took a sip of the mystery liquid. 'Um…Not chocolate' I pressed my hands to my lips, trying my best not to spit it back out.

He gave a small laugh "here let me get you some water" he filled a new cup full of water and handed it to me.

"Thank you" I whisper. "Orophin, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes of course, ask me any thing you like!" he pulled the chair from the near by desk and sat down across from me.

"Why are you going to question that beast, what does he know that's so important?" I asked

"Well," – he began with a smile -"We want him to tell us where his allies are. So we can eliminate all threats and protected our people."

"Oh, so there are more of them." I stated with worry.

"Yes, but you have nothing to fear, you are under my protected now!" he was still smiling and it was obvious that, it took a lot to bring him down.-"now, If you don't mine me asking Nevaeh, what were you doing in the woods?" he request in a concerned voice.

"Boo and I were just traveling" I took a drink from the cup.-"by the way where is Boo?"

"Boo? You mean the boy…" Orophin seemed a bit upset and I could feel that something bad was coming.

"Where's Boo, is he here?" I jumped up from the chair and some of the water from my water spilling on to the ground .I hadn't even thought of Boo. How could I not notices a big part of my life, missing? Orophin put his hand on my shoulder, and tried to sit me back down.

"Nevaeh, listen to me. There sometimes you need to know!" he was still trying to make me sit down his hand at rest on my shoulder. I hate when people do that, if you have something bad to say just say it. There's no need to sit threw the bad news, it all ends the same.

"Nevaeh, your friend he…" I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't know how to say it, so I helped him.

"He dead." my voice came out shaky

Orophin nodded his head yes "I thought you know… you were there-"

"No" was all I could say, even if I could think of anything more.


Yup! Yup! That's it for now!
