Author's Note: Hey peoples! I just wanna say I finally worked up enough courage to post this story! And please be nice, it's my first kind of story like this. I'll be very sad if I'm flamed. Constructive criticism is okay I guess. As long as you don't flame me and totally ruin my story for me. And sorry it's short. It is a prologue after all. The rest of the story is longer than this. Promise! Please review!
The Last Mission: Prologue
I watched patiently as the human set up his camp. He had just gotten a fire started, and was throwing more sticks into the pile. I crouched lower to the ground, and silently crawled closer towards the unsuspecting human. Not wanting to blow my cover yet, I suddenly drew back when the human looked over his shoulder.
"Hello?" The human's strong male voice beat into my ears loudly. I sensed fear in the human, and smiled. This is what I lived for: causing fear and havoc to other people. I crept closer to the human once he turned back around again. I pulled the black cloak over my head to cover my leaf-shaped ears, and pulled a scarf over most of my face, save the eyes.
I reached over to grab an arrow from the quiver, and readied it in the bow. Carefully aiming between the collarbone and shoulder bone, I let the arrow fly. It pierced the human right on target, and he cried out in pain. I suddenly sprang up from the bushes where I was hiding, and pulled out a silver dagger.
The dagger met the man's throat before he could even react. After a short gurgling sound, and a stream of blood, the man fell, dead. I sniggered and wiped my dagger on the dead human's cloak. I circled the fresh campsite and found what I was looking for. I picked up a small tan bag, filled with golden coins, and safely put it in a knapsack. I also took some valuable jewelry, and some food for the journey back home.
