It has been four days since I last been anywhere near that base, for good reason of course. With the increase of angels on the watch around the forest and other places I had to be even stealthier. Finding paths and blind spots on the constant patrols,I then use these things to my advantage. Now I am currently in one of these said paths, that leads to a certain area of berries and other fruits. I can't get any meat nowadays due to the fear that if I fire any gun it shall alert everyone. So my diet consists of nothing more than fruits and eggs, not the best but it works. Using this passage is normal for me and normally no one is around. Normally I don't hear the sound of marching feet in this particular area, so when I did hear it I was confused.
Looking at the direction of the sound I saw a lot of angels just walking through. In front of them however is a familiar look that I saw only once before. I believe his name was Wodahs, and right now his 'patrol' is heading straight towards me. With no other option I climbed a nearby tree. Looking down I see his men and women moving through and the amount of twisting heads mean they are looking for something or someone. Most likely me, I mean they do have messenger angels to keep up on the news and receiving orders. Waiting for them to pass by I then look up above and saw a couple of people flying up above. Oh thank the lord for trees and foliage, may you live long and flourish. Finally the sound of feet marching is silenced and I then lowered myself back to the ground. I do wonder how he is going to take the news, oh well.
POV change...
Safety at last, finally we reached home base. Here we are heading out to potentially get destroyed by some ambush of the demons, all to scout ahead for potential danger. Instead we all lived and we only had to investigate two things, a weird tall person and secondly a battle. I am still confused about the tall guy but hey at least I made it back. Looking up to the gates I noticed the increase of guards around the area, did we get attacked or something? The gates did open and we went through without a problem, but still the amount of guards all over the place is sorta unusual. Last time this happened was when some demon scouts found the place and harassed us. The paranoia was high that day. Our head angel Wodahs did however summarize the situation.
"Four days ago the base was breached by one person, and somehow snuck all the way into the castle." That was most uncommon for the amount of guards around the area would have made any attempts to sneak in be impossible.
"Once the person got in, the intruder then stumbled upon the main hall and confronted our lady Etihw." Okay now how did this person live after trying to fight our lady.
"The fight was described by a patrolling guard, here is her words, 'Lady Etihw got slapped so hard across the face that the intruder escaped.'" All I heard was a phrase uttered somewhere to the right of me, and it fit the situation. "She got wrecked."
Back to our main gray hero...
Oh would you look at the time, the sun is gone and the only thing seen up above is a moon. Stretching I then continue on my monotone gathering of wood, also checking behind me for any followers. Paranoia is getting to me but so far it seems to be helping. Once I got back to the cave I looked at my work and the practice dummies set up front. Climbing up I then slink into my dark confines and place the wood down. Now to silence my weapon I put a lot of stuff on every hole to hide my gunshots, after that I then unplug some holes and continue on with the night. Laying down close to the fire I then try to sleep. Note I did say try, for I am still awake. The usual position I use to sleep isn't working, maybe I need to bore myself even more. Getting up I head to the wall and prepare to get out. Climbing up I peek over the top and saw a female face, with dark hair and horns above her head. We were both surprised, for I jumped back and she let off a tiny yelp of surprise. I landed with the grace of a bird, then immediately rushed to grab a weapon on the side. Grabbing the rifle I hustled over the top and looked over to see the intruder.
The female demon was in the middle of getting up, with experience I quickly got out and landed behind her. She was smaller than me, wearing all black along with some surprisingly silent shoes, I still had the advantage of having a weapon out. She didn't say anything and I didn't say anything. Stepping away and then around her I see that she actually closed her eyes and tensed her muscles. Staying quiet I then stood right in front of her and waited. She finally got the courage to open her eyes, and immediately flinched back when she saw me. Composing myself I then open my mouth to speak. Unfortunately I got interrupted by a barrage of words.
"I'msosorrythatIfollowedyouaroundIgotlostandsawyousoIthoughtthatheymaybeyou-" breath here "-wouldbenicebecuaseyoulookednicejustwalkingaroundthewoodsandall." She finally stopped talking and I then replied to answer that sentence. Yes I answered the sentence with a single word. A word that is a question but have found itself being used in many situations. Yes I am talking about this word "what?" and it fits.
