1 Chapter 3: Strangers in the Woods
One of the figures gave a yell as he ran out with his sword. He wore a hood which almost completely covered his face. He wore rugged clothes, very similar to Colby's. The other, Marcie sensed, was an elf. And she was right. He had long, blonde hair, wore a long cloak, and had a bow and arrow. The man with the hood charged at Colby, who immediately engaged in fighting. The elf and Marcie both shot their arrows at the same time, but both dodged each others arrows just in time.
Marcie noticed that the elf had two swords strapped to his back. She quickly jumped and retrieved one of them. But this elf's senses were also very keen, for as soon as she turned to face him, he had his sword drawn, pointed right at her throat. She quickly used her sword to knock his away and they too began to fight.
Meanwhile, Colby and the hooded figure were still fighting. 'Damn, he's good' thought Colby. Finally, she had him pinned against a tree. Breathing hard, she asked him, "Had enough?" "Not yet," he replied, pushing her into another tree. "OW! Marcie! Help!" Marcie had been fighting still with the elf, who was also very good at swordsmanship. Seeing that Colby was in trouble, she knocked down the elf, ran up behind the hooded figure and hit him on the head with a stray branch. As he fell to the ground, Colby yelled, "Behind you!" At this, Marcie turned and hit the elf with the branch, who was coming up behind her, causing him to fall to the ground too. They had been fighting so much that neither girl noticed how amazingly good-looking both men were. "Uh-oh..," said Colby as she pulled back the man's hood. "What is it?" asked Marcie as she was inspecting the elf, whom she had knocked out cold. "Ummm…I don't know, I just have a bad feeling that we shouldn't have done this. Still inspecting the elf, she said "Well we didn't have a choice, they came at us first! It was self-defense!" cried Marcie. "I know but…uh-oh, this one's waking up," said Colby, pointing to the man. He was tall, had the same length of hair as Colby, only darker. "Let's get them both inside. Here, help me with him," said Colby as she lifted the man up. Marcie ran over to help her. "BUT I LOVE YOU!" the man cried out. "I think I liked him better knocked out," Colby told Marcie as they helped him into the house.
