Once again holding her breath, Angel prepared for the worst. What she saw was nothing like what she expected. It was a good sight. What she saw was a man. He was a man, but not one of those that followed them. From what she could see, He was physically something she could imagine a person would dream of. He was impressive in build, had long, dark hair, and a soft beard. Assuming he was one with the other party, she remained in her hiding place. A hand grabbed her arm, making her jump. They arm yanked her from behind the tree. She tunred to face her aggressor. He was a very handsome man. With deep, penetrating eyes. Angel had never fallen victim to a pretty face and she was not about to start. She wrenched her arm free from his grasp, causing him to throw a surprised look. " I'm guessing you freaks don't speak English, but maybe you'll understand my tone." She glared at him. Through gritted teeth she ordered," If you touch me again, I am going to hurt you."
Still not responding, he stared at her as though she had six heads. Finally, he opened his mouth. " Lady, are you mad?"
Shocked he could actually speak, Angel replied, " Ummmm, no. Actually, I'm quite sane. Or at least thought so until today."
" I do not know what you mean." He stared at her intently.
" Ok. I can see you don't understand anything bud, but I can't just stand here and explain it to you." She tried to walk away.
He stopped her. " Where do you think you're going?"
" Excuse me?" She looked as if she were going to strike him.
Once again he backed away.
" First of all, I need to find my sister. Second of all, I have these big, ugly-ass things chasing me. Bye!"
" Your sister?"
" Yes, my sister. Do you have those here? Families? Are you all inbred?"
" Yes, we do have families here. Now if you're through with your
raving- "
The loud crunch of underbrush cut him off. Three horses, carrying the same beasts came barreling in their direction.
The man pulled her to the side, out of sight. She could tell her meant to leave her there while he went to fight. Though his intentions seemed noble, she was no pansy. She fought her own battles and the thought infuriated her that a man thought otherwise. Running from behind the tree, ready to battle she yelled. " Alright sucker, come get some!" She nearly ran into one. As he reared up, she put her hands in front of her as if to shield herself. " Shit!!" Something extraordinary happened. The creature flew nearly fifty feet back, through three tree saplings. She looked at the creature, and then at her hands. " What the hell?"
