Here is the next chapter I do apologize for the wait I recently started school. My birthday also past, but I'm glad to have this chapter done. But here is the next chapter.

Chapter 3

I groan waiting for everyone to come back out from the smelly cave.

I turned to my "babysitter" and watched as he was testing his bow to see if it still worked. The group saw I would not go in with them so one of them told this guy to watch me. The one who gave the order gave a look of suspicion before heading in.

The guy who I assumed that was watching me was a few inches shorter than me. He looked pretty young maybe in his twenties. I admit he looked handsome, and it seemed like he was good at a bow.

He must have sense I was looking at him because he looked back at me and wink with a smirk on his face. He seemed friendly and yet more like a flirt to me.

"Oh…my…" I threw hands up to my face.

He is flirting with me. Here I thought I somehow ended up in some sort of place where the men were actually chivalrous. They are just like men back at him only they wear different clothes and carry different types of weapons.

A few minutes later everyone came out of the cave with some weapons and it look like one of them had something golden hidden in their cloaks.

I was shock to see the guy in grey hand me a small little knife. He pats my shoulder as I hesitantly took it from him and walked towards another in the group.

"Do they expect me to fight?" I said, not really expecting anyone to answer me.

I couldn't even fight to save a life. Don't get me wrong I did karate for a while, but when it came to fighting I felt terrible throwing a punch at the guy. It was only one punch too.

My thoughts were interrupted by a loud yelled that came out of some part of the forest. Everyone brought up their weapons getting ready for a fight, but then stopped when the guy in grey addressed him.

He was dressed almost like the guy in grey. Only thing is he had bird poop on the side of his face. He must be a hermit or something. But he looked like a sweet hermit.

He was speaking to the guy in grey and looked lost until the guy in grey took out…a bug…and it is till alive.

"Oh…lovely." I muttered to myself receiving a few looks from everyone.

I simply shrugged knowing that they did not understand what I was saying anyway. It was not like it had matter what I said.

Both of the men in grey kept talking and after a few minutes I heard a howl.

"A wolf!" I shriek, beginning to shake in fear.

I should have known there was a wolf in this place. We are surrounded by the woods so of course wild life is around us.

I moved closer to the group at the thought of dangerous animals in the woods.

My thoughts were interrupted as I saw a big beast came flying out of the woods. The group attacked it, which I was happy until I saw what the beast look like.

I've always told Melody that there was no such thing as monsters, and now that I've seen those big monsters that were about to eat the men and now this. I take it back now that I see it.

There were more howls and I tried not to scream at the sound for fear it would bring them to our location.

But I turn to hear a bit of a snapped from the guy in grey to one of the guys in the group. It did not last long when the guy in the group said something that made him look very sincere.

One of them said something before the guy in grey responded and then the other guy in grey with bird poop on his face said something to the guy in grey. They both talked until the guy in grey with poop on his face said something that sounded final.

I really wish I knew what they were saying or their names were. I was brought out of my thoughts as one of the men pulled me with them toward behind the bush.

I did not understand why, but then I saw him get on his sleigh with rabbits. This place just gets weirder and weirder every moment. I wonder what's next a flying unicorn.

He was gone with those same beasts behind him. It was those beast that had been attack by the group not too long.

"Wow he is brave." I muttered to myself.

I was taken out of my amazement as I felt myself being grabbed by one of the men.

We were running I would hope away from these beasts. Hopefully Melody is ok or better yet safely home.

I nearly tripped, but was still dragged as we ran into an open field. I heard more howls that sounded way too close for comfort.

I felt like my legs weigh a thousand pounds as we ran hopefully somewhere safe and away from these beasts and out of this nightmare.

It seemed like hours until we finally stopped under and yet behind a log. Thankfully it was big enough to hide everyone.

My heart was still pounding hard in my chest as I place my hand over it to at least calm down a little bit.

But we were not out of danger yet. I heard some sort animal's breathing and froze at the thoughts that it was just over us.

The guy who had wink at me earlier before had an arrow on his bow on ready. The guy who I assumed must be the leader of the group nodded.

The guy with bow got out from his hiding spot and fired a shot. The animal fell onto the ground with something ugly on its back and without a second thought the group began to attack this beast.

The animal one last sound and as I moved as far away as I could from the hiding spot I saw more beast heading this way. Probably from the sound the beast had made before it died.

I looked around to see that old guy in grey was not with us anymore. He seemed like a nice old guy too. I watched as the group had ready their weapons for the attack that was coming our way.

I began to look for a place to hide until I felt myself being grabbed from behind. That was when I began to struggle at what ever grabbed me and nearly scream until I saw that it was the guy in grey.

He was alright and I'm ok at least for now. He peak back out and again in that unknown language to the others.

It was a few minutes later until these men came in one by one. The archer was the last to come in. That was when I heard some sort of horn sound loudly.

I nearly screamed when I saw a creature fall into the hidden cave underground fall in with an arrow in its back.

One of these men took a step forward looked upset when he saw the arrow.

"What could you be upset about it is dead right?" I asked not expecting an answer from anyone.

The smallest one that look like a child, and when I look at his face closely look more like an adult with big hairy feet was the only one who looked at me with curious eyes while everyone seemed to be ignoring me. I guess they gave up on trying to understand what I am trying to say or are just in a rush.

My arm was grabbed as we began to walk down what I found to be a tunnel. As we walked I expected it be some sort of big cave. I was not prepared for what I was about to see.

It looked like a castle that was out of my niece's fairytale book, but it looked so beautiful, better than anything I have ever seen. It is so hard to describe how beautiful it looks and there is no way anyone can paint this to really get its beauty. This place was really breath taking.

A lot of the guys in the group did not look comfortable being here except for the guy who was taller and the guy with big hairy feet. The group leader look furious at the guy in grey and seemed to have snapped something while the guy in grey had said something to the leader that made him stay quiet for a few minutes. It was a few minutes later we began to walk down where there was a bridge.

We probably would have gone down sooner, but the tall guy in grey had said few things to the group. After that we began to walk on down I was in the middle next to the guy with big feet.

The taller guy in grey walked up to a very handsome guy with long dark brown hair. If Melody was here she would have probably have thought she was heaven. I smiled at the thought.

I felt my face was wet at the thought of never seeing my niece ever again. I promised I would keep her safe. I wiped my face so that no one would see I was sad.

A few minutes later I heard the sound of the horn. As I looked I saw horses with men ridding our way. I was pushed into the middle even though I was a bit taller than them. I felt my heart pound hard in my chest at the thought of being attack by these men on horseback as they rode around us. We were surrounded by these men.

If this is the reason why the group leader did not want to come I can see why.

Poor Arianna still cannot understand what everyone is saying and still no sign of Melody. Anyway I'm going to end the chapter here sorry it took so long. I'm sorry it took so long I have been in school and it is going to get busy these next few weeks, but I'll try to update again, but please review.
