The Attack

"Andrew, I know that your cheating." Said Craig. "Fine, I'll stop," he replied secretly pulling four aces out of his sock. "He, are those Uruk-Hai and elephant people still looking for us?" he continued. "D-uh, they've been looking for over a week. I'm just surprised that they haven't found us yet. They have our names it shouldn't be hard. I'm also surprised that they have not been stopped. How long do you figure that we have 'till we get found?" said Craig picking up an ace to give him a full house. They were playing poker in Craig's house. "Not long! I'm getting a sick feeling that the vision will come true if we don't run NOW!" was Andrew's reply. "HOLY CRAPP!!!! So am I," shouted Craig chucking his cards on the floor and running downstairs.

They grabbed their shoes and ran outside. They got their best swords from Craig's garage. As he ran out Craig grabbed a spear and Andrew grabbed two javelins. They ran down the street putting their swords in their belts. They saw no one as they turned off of Craig's street. Andrew spun his javelins to warm-up. Craig used his spear.

Anne's staff was knocked from her hand. She dove to the ground and rolled sideways to avoid a swing mid high. She grabbed her sword and blocked. Then in one motion she rose and swung. Chantal ducked and dropped her sword. She grabbed Anne's staff witch lay some ways to her side. Anne frowned; this fight was not going her way. Blocking swiftly, she ran to Chantal's side. "Wait," she said suddenly. Chantal stopped in mid swing. "Look, the Uruk- Hai," said Anne. Chantal looked up. The head Uruk-Hai turned towards them. "They're coming this way," they yelled and grabbed their weapons.

Craig dashed down the street swinging his spear. Andrew pulled up beside him. They rounded a corner. There was still no one. A car came around the corner behind them and squealed to a stop. Craig saw the driver pull out a cell phone to call 9-1-1. Craig ran harder.

Anne and Chantal turned and ran to the hedge so that their backs would be guarded.

Craig charged up the street and around a corner. They went up a hill and then down and around another corner. Andrew was in front now.

Anne and Chantal dropped their swords and got in a good stands. They prepared themselves for the oncoming Uruk-Hai. The Uruk-Hai where now two hundred meters away, and coming fast.

Around the last corner Andrew and Craig ran. Andrew was in front still. They ran at a speed that even they did not know they could travel. They ran up the path of the park and along the hedge.

The Uruk-Hai were closing swiftly with swords flashing. A hundred and fifty meters, a hundred, fifty, forty, thirty meters and still they came.

As the Uruk-Hai reached twenty meters, the one thing that the girls did not expect happened. They slowed momentarily. A javelin flew by the girls. It struck one of the front Uruk-Hai. The Uruk-Hai faltered but kept running and pulled the javelin out. A spear flew by the girls and killed another Uruk-Hai. The attacking Uruk-Hai split into two groups. One turned for the newcomers. Again a javelin flew by the girls and this time it sank deep in the Uruk-Hai that was injured. It fell dead.

The girls turned in time to see their brothers go charge by to meet the attack. The second group of Uruk-Hai moved in behind to cut off all possible escape. The trap had been sprung.

The girls turned and charged. They were several strides behind the boys. Whipping out their swords the boys met the front line head-on. The boys swung with all their strength. Craig caught one in the jaw and they herd a crack as the jaw was split. Andrew hit a sword sending it flying to the ground. The boys pressed forward to test their skill.

The girls met the Uruk-Hai that moved in to replace the injured ones. The girls knocked them to the ground skilfully as they came. The Boys momentum was weakened and their charge stopped. The girls stopped beside them. Craig's sword was broken. They stood facing outwards. Uruk-Hai surrounded them as the others formed up again with swords up.
