A/N I just thought you would like a break from cliffies. I have written FAR
FAR FARRRR past this point (its almost 9 pages past this on Microsoft
Word).
Fey awoke with a small shudder. It was late and she wondered what made her wake up. She took a look around and noticed a small shrub that wasn't there when she went to sleep. She had read about this little trick in her books about thieves, and only the smartest used this one. Her eyes widened as she kept still. Grapefruit stirred and woke up. He climbed up near her face. If only I could let him know, he could wake Pete or Joel or Christielia. As if reading her thoughts, Grapefruit silently got up and walked over to Joel's bedroll where he lay down as if to go to sleep over there. She saw some rustling in the woods as the shrub moved over towards Christi's bedroll. She noticed the tiniest bit of movement in Joel's bedroll, then Grapefruit returned, with something in his mouth. It was a note and a necklace.
The note said in a rushed scrawl: Fey, these are Bandits from Corus, I think they mean business. The necklace will help you run away without making a sound. My black cloak is beside you. Put it on, and run to the stream. I will take care of these Thieves then meet you over there. If anything goes wrong, bring Grandda and Christi to a maid in the palace called Salma. She will know what to do. If you understand what I ask of you, send Grapefruit over with a wild flower. You have a pretty smart cat with you.
~Joel
Fey was thunderstruck. She sent grapefruit over with a flower and a note which said:
I will fight. With the necklace and the cloak on, I will fight.
Just then, the Bandits sprung from their hiding places. One attacked Pete as he struggled to wake up fully and get out of bed. They cut him down. Another went to Christi. Joel went to save her as four came onto Fey. She hadn't put the cloak on yet. She drew her dagger and narrowed her eyes. No one would do this to her friends and get away with it. StarShine and Grapefruit came to her aid, making all the noise they could. Joel was distracted by this and got knocked to the side. He didn't get up fast enough, and they released their wrath on Christi. It was a horrible sight. Joel looked broken and aged, then as he remembered about Fey, youth and anger filled his eyes, now a deep blue. He ran to attack the men who were upon as she received a deep cut from a long dagger. She cried out as StarShine trampled the man. Joel then seemed to grow, but only in appearance. She somehow knew it was the same old Joel, but the Thieves were scared beyond belief. They ran out into the forest, and Joel turned to her, his green eyes full of concern. Fey was losing blood fast, and she fainted. The last thing she saw that night, was a beautiful pair of deep green eyes. Why do they keep changing? She asked herself as she fainted.
