In the Caves
As the battle takes place
Those in the caves sat huddled together. Some were silent, some were not. Soft sobs came from more then one. Soft chatter was occasionally heard. Sounds of the battle above could be heard. Children sat close to their mothers. The air was filled with fear and grief.
Titith and Windfola sat together. They were silent. Sounds of the fighting was constant. They couldn't block the reminder of the death above. Windfola broke the silence with a quite question, so only they could hear.
"Are you okay?" It was an illogical question to ask. It was obvious she wasn't. Neither of the pair were okay.
Titith shook her head before giving a reply. "Do I look okay to you?" she asked before continuing, "My family is up there in the fight. There's a high chance that one of them won't make it home. Fastere is supposed to be married soon. What if he dies? Or Dan? Or Lytwig? I can't lose them… And while their up there, we sit here and do nothing." She ranted.
Windfola was taken aback for a second or two before she replied, "I know. I care for them to."
"I apologize. My emotions got in the way. It was unfair to speak like that."
"Don't bother. I shouldn't have snapped. I'm just… worried."
"That makes two of us then."
"You sound like him."
"Who?"
"Lytwig."
"Oh."
The two females fell silent. There wasn't much to think about. Nothing positive at least. They were mentally preparing themselves for the worst. Hours past. They heard a horn sound, but was it friend or foe? When the final sounds of battle ceased, they allowed themselves to stand and search for three defenders. They quickly made their way over towards where they had seen Dan.
Titith let loose a small sob of anguish at what she saw.
I don't normally ask this because I find it kind of illogical but, review? What do you think happened that made them react as they did? Let me know… I actually haven't written the next chapter. I may use it in next chapter and all. Uh, yeah. Until next time..
