AN: Sorry for not updating for so long.
The only thing I can say is 'school should be banned!' And if not school,
then at least
HW!
Kiri's POV:
The orc stumbled in surprise, and nearly tripped over his own feet. I tried to move back and escape as he regained his balance and rushed at me, his club aloft, but my body wouldn't respond to my actions. I forced my foot backwards, trying to escape, and suddenly the spell (AN: It wasn't a real spell, by the way, it's just an expression) holding me broke and I stumbled backwards, twisting my ankle, and fell over.
The orc realized that I was unarmed as well as weak, and wasted no time in coming up to me and bashing my head. There was a great deal of red-hot pain filling her head as the truncheon descended, and then, thankfully, came darkness.
~*~Normal POV: (finally)~*~
The orc looked at Kiri's limp body with some surprise. He had never before encountered a human that had been killed that easily. It was. rather strange for a human to just-get defeated like that. It was abnormal, and Ikgnath the orc didn't like things to be abnormal. Ikgnath looked at the young human lying on the ground in front of him and tried to think.
"Ah!" he suddenly realized. "The human is trying to pretend to be dead. It thinks that Ikgnath will leave it for dead and then it can get away! Well, Ikgnath is too smart to be fooled by stupid little human!"
With that realization, Ikgnath had a slightly harder time trying to think of what to do with this human that worked so hard to seem dead. After a couple of minutes, he walked up to the girl and smashed his club against the side of her head, noting her moan of pain before she went even limper, if possible.
Ikgnath gloated.
"Hee hee. So much for stupid little humans. Ikgnath knows how to deal with them. Master will be happy that Ikgnath is so smart. Human pretended to be dead, now human really is dead. Ikgnath will take stupid little dead human to master."
And he started laughing, the sound more hideous than nails scraping on a chalkboard, and even while unconscious, this seemed to hurt Kirinde because she released several moans before lapsing completely into unconsciousness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After several hours, Ikgnath grew tired of carrying the girl, and although she wasn't very heavy his muscles were strained. So he stopped and dropped her onto the ground and sat down to rest. Suddenly he heard a strange sound behind him, so he grabbed the human and ran into a nearby cave, hiding her in as deep as he could and then sitting on her body to hide her from enemy's eyes. Ikgnath tried to sit as still as he could but the elf who had first seen him followed him into the cave and shot him directly into the heart, and killed him.
~*~Penmaer's POV:~*~
(AN: Before you ask, yes, Penmaer is the elf who just killed Ikgnath)
I had first seen that orc about ten minutes ago, carrying something slung over his shoulders-and that something looked remarkably like the body of a young girl. I say body because there was no doubt she was dead. There was nothing I could do to help her anymore, but the orc was foul and had no doubt been the one to kill her, so I decided to kill it.
As I drew an arrow out quietly the orc suddenly looked around as if he heard something, and rushed into a cave about twenty feet away. I let my arrow go to early and it missed him by several feet, yet by the time I had drawn another one he had managed to run into the cave.
Carefully, I walked up to the cave and peered inside-by the time my eyes adjusted to the light I could already tell he was there, and I wasn't planning to waste another arrow. I aimed carefully, and shot, hitting him directly in the heart. Within a minute he was dead.
When I was sure all was safe I went into the cave to have a last look at the poor young girl, and saw that she was under the orc's corpse. I carefully pulled it off of her, and heard a moan. I froze. Surely that had come from her lips?
