A/N: Lots of fun!!! Yay!! Killing Skraelings with a pencil!!!

Disclaimer: Ya, I don't own it. Too bad. All I own is a nasty headache, sore throat, and a fever, and here I am at S.O. ...

We were woken from our brief catnap in one of the houses in the town by the hurried preparations of the defenders. Yes, we were napping. Why not? We knew exactly what was going to happen, and when.

"Uh-huh-huh..." I whined upon the jostling I received from Jessica. "I don' wanna get up..."

"GET UP!!!!!!!" She roared into my ear.

"Okay, okay, okay okay... Jeez." I muttered.

"You won't believe what it takes to make you wake up." Rachel told me.

"Yes I will. I've been informed of it several times by various people." I replied.

"Well, anyhow, the killing is about to start." She said.

"The KILLING??? Why didn't you tell me???" I shrieked, instantly wide awake.

"Sadist. Because you wouldn't have heard." Jessica said.

"Would too."

"Would not."

"Would too."

"Would not."

"Would too."

"Would not."

"Would too."

"Would not."

"Would too."

"Would not."

"SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!! She's a sociopath, not a sadist!!" Rachel yelled at us.

"Would too." I finished. Jessica glared at me.

"Come on, vamnos!" Rachel announced.

"Where?" I asked.

"Top of the wall." Jessica said, exasperated.

"Why was I not informed of this?"

"You were sleeping, intelligent one." Rachel said.

"OH... Top o' the wall then." I acquiesced.

"Gee, you think?" Jessica ridiculed.

"You're making fun of me." I accused as we went out the door. Two men standing guard by the corner jumped at our sudden appearance.

"Yo." Jessica acknowledged them.

"What are civilians doing still here? And youngsters at that?" Guard No. One asked Guard No. Two.

"I have no idea." Guard No. Two replied.

"Then question the civilians!" Guard No. One told No. Two.

"We can hear you, cretins." Rachel told them.

"What are you doing here?" Guard No. Two asked us.

"What are you doing here?" I asked in an annoying singsong voice.

"We're the guards." Guard No. One said, looking faintly confused.

"Well WE happen to be Dungeon Mistresses." I said, being overly dramatic.

"It doesn't matter. Ely, stop arguing with the guards. Guards, stop interrogating us before I, um..." Jessica trailed off, trying to think of something to do to them.

"Take Rachel's example and throw a book at them." I suggested, withdrawing my SAT Hot Words book out of my backpack and offering it to her.

"Oh, that's right. Only it wasn't SAT Hot Words, it was Timeline." Rachel reminded me.

"WELLSEY IS MY FRIEND!!!!!"

"You had to get her started." Jessica accused Rachel.

"But, but, it's, it's, TIMELINE!!"

"HE'S MY KITTY!!!" I shrieked. The guards were, at this point, edging away. I grinned maniacally.

"Ely, quit scaring people." Rachel ordered me.

"But it's fun."

"Yes, well, there is a slight problem." Rachel pointed up at the wall, where Axis was throwing a torch over the wall, illuminating the Skraeling masses. "They're going to attack."

"COOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!" I started to hyperventilate, and brandished my pencil. "I get to kill de EYES!!"

We ran up the steps to the top of the wall.

"Ew, Ely, you know what happens when those things get killed." Rachel said, panting and glaring at the stairs.

"What was that again?" Jessica asked.

"The only way to kill them is to stab them in the eyes. And when you do that, their eyes explode, and you get covered in blood."

"They do not explode."

"Okay, so they don't exPLODE, they still spurt blood."

"Cool by me." I said.

"Ew, Rachel's right about you being a sociopath. Ely, Squeaky, what has happened to you?"

"Middle school cynicism." I replied. Jessica scowled.

Suddenly we realized that we were no longer alone on the walls. The other defenders had come up and were giving us a wide berth, glancing askance at the oddly dressed teenage girls in their midst. One, apparently braver than the rest, started to approach us- probably to lecture us once again about being on the wall, when the first of the Skraelings appeared. With a yell, I jumped on it, plunging the pencil into its eye and becoming immediately drenched with blood.

"Yeek!!!!!!!!" I screeched, jumping back and examining my bright red hand and apparently ruined shirt. Jessica and Rachel looked at each other briefly.

"Ely, we're, um, going down to protect ourselves from you. Goodbye." Jessica told me. I ignored her, shaking uncontrollably and muttering about my pencil (the mechanism has never been the same...) Battle on the wall had begun.

A/N: Yeah, it has been an awfully long time hasn't it... sry 'bout that, I have to type everything at school because I can't post from my computer. And y'all know how school is... darn it all. That is also why this chapter is so horribly short. I thought I should be a good person for once and post it anyways.
