'Why now? Of all times why did they have to pick today to ambush the Nourasian city?' Molly thought as she had been sneaking under several bushes to try and get away from the tridents searchlights. it had been a twenty minute run and still no Krog had found her yet, but how long until the game was up?
Somewhere in the distance she heard a scream, guessing it wasn't safe to just run out into the open to find the hurt Nourasian, Molly squeezed her way through, trying her hardest not to make the bushes move or any sticks break, finally she reached a clearing, to where she found who she sought.
Percephanie was holding her ankle, and right above her head a Krog had been standing there with the knife above his head, Molly believed it was a bit unusual for an enemy not to mention a Krog to be just standing there waiting for something to happen, however she soon found out why, a part of her heel had been lodged into his stomach, and he was doing his best to get it out.
What to do, what to do...so many options Molly had in this sort of predicament, but she chose to jump up and squeeze the Krogs' wrist until he finally let go of the knife, one reason was because he must have been a juvenile, because Krogs were at least 8 feet tall, the one Molly was battling was only 4 feet...at the moment.
After the Knife was lost somewhere in the large grassy plantation the Krog hoped to his feet and ran in the other direction.
"Scaredy cat!" she called after him. "Percephanie...can you stand?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid walking will only worsen my injury."
"Then I'll carry you on my back." Molly said lowering herself on the ground so Percephanie could climb on.
"That's very kind of you...but..."
"Hey, just get on! I don't mind really." Molly said, after a few seconds of hesitation she finally broke down and crawled on Molly's back. "Why are you doing this?" she asked
"I'm not going to let Aikka's fiance die...besides if he knew I had just left you there, he'd be more angry at me then he was now."
"The Prince? Angry?" Percephanie said in denial. "A bit hard to picture."
"Yeah well, we're not on the best of terms right now."
"Why so?" She asked with such impudence Molly couldn't help but laugh.
"Pardon my sudden rudeness, but are you so naive about what's been happening over the last few days not to realize the sevarity of the situation?"
"Ok I'll admit I'm not that bright."
"Percephanie, he's furious with me because I gave false accusations regarding you and Talme."
"False? They weren't a lie." Percephanie said which made Molly cough several times
"Tell him that...in the end I just gave up and said you were innocent."
"Now why would you do a thing like that?" Percephanie said in awe.
"I don't want to talk about it anymore.." Molly said, but Percephanie pressed the issue.
"Molly...tell me or this whole conversation will turn into a sparring match, do you really want the Krogs to catch us?" Molly thought about this, she really didn't want to tell her anything, because Molly thought she didn't care, but then Molly knew Percephanie would do something as drastic as raising the alarm so their hiding spot would be no more.
"Fine, I did it because he was severing our friendship, and I could not leave matters in a state of...deep mistrust."
"I'll fix it..you see." Percephanie said with a triumphant smile which Molly utterly hated.
"Bad idea...very bad idea."
"But Molly-"
"Nuh uh...don't drag yourself into this."
"I'm already in it!" Percephanie yelled, Molly was about to retort when she heard a scraping sound from overhead, one of the Krogs had lifted up the bush roots, he could see them clearly, and there was no way they could run. "Great..." Molly said sarcastically.
