Chapter 1
Hidden Face
"So you're telling me that you sent our only healer to scout up ahead when I know this place like the back of my hand!" Dylynx said, his voice rising higher each time he spoke. "For fucks sakes! First, we had the goddamn Gnome end up teleporting himself out instead of making us a portal, then I find out the damn rookie of a Paladin decided to be a rebel and leave his training before he even learned how to at least heal himself, and now I find out that you sent our only healer to go up and scout ahead when she can barely even watch her own ass! You guys are lucky I had the spare potion or that girl would probably be dead by now! Of all the people I have been grouped with this group is by the far worst, I mean c'mon its common sense not to send your only goddamn healer out to wander-"
Keith looked over at the Death Knight who was obviously becoming quite annoyed as she sat with her eyes closed, her eyebrows twitching every now and then. Rubbing his neck he sighed and knew this was going to be a long day, if he didn't snap he sure as hell knew she would. She's gonna end up strangling the guy...he shuddered at the thought of her strangling Dylynx as a Death Knight. Even as a Rogue she still scared people shit less whenever she lost it, he said in his mind. He remembered when she had almost killed two men, both of her race but of different classes, one being of a Warrior like himself and the other a Druid; it had taken three people to just pull her off of the Warrior and five to hold her down till she calmed down.
Deciding to speak up he pulled on his plated boots, standing up and said, "Dylynx I would shut your mouth if I were you," before walking away.
He disappeared behind some trees and began making his way back over to the camp, the Draenei following him. Looking over his shoulder he saw an apologetic look on the Draenei's face. "I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it," he said, stopping and allowing the Draenei to catch up. "You'll know what to do now once you go home."
"Yeah," the Draenei said softly.
"Don't let Dylynx put you down," Keith said putting a hand on the Draenei's shoulder, squeezing slightly. "You'll get to use to him soon enough…maybe."
The Draenei nodded slightly. "My mother is going to have a fit once I get home, she'll find out I snuck out without finishing my training."
Keith patted his shoulder, walking away. "Bet she'll be proud though to know that her son is one hell of a good fighter on the battlefield, even though he left his diapers too early."
The Draenei snorted, hefting his battle mace across one shoulder. "She thinks I'm a Healer."
"A Healer huh? I'm sorry but I can't imagine you healing anyone," a grin crept on his face. "You can't even heal yourself."
The Draenei smiled slightly, "For a Human Keith you aren't as bad as I thought you would be."
"You ain't that bad yourself…" he looked at the Draenei waiting for his name.
"Alkan."
"Alkan." His grin grew wider. "Yeah, you're not that bad either, for being an ugly bastard anyway."
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that last part." The Draenei said.
XXXXXXX
"Da name be Sahee," the female troll said softly, she gestured to the male Troll who sat beside her. "This is Krylo."
"Liam." The Undead mumbled.
"Gyum," the male Tauren said looking up from his lap.
"Urnoh," the Orc said nodding his head
"Trin," he heard his brother say. "And that's Zane."
Hearing his name he raised his head, staring at the small group of Horde through the dark cloth he wore over his eyes. His captors decided to separate him from the rest of the group, tying him to a tree closer to the camp, to close in his opinion, since they felt he would cause more trouble. Resting his head against the tree he turned his attention elsewhere, his eyes scanning the small camp before they rested on a figure that shifted slightly. Tilting his head slightly, his ears twitched to the sound of a voice, the figure groaned.
"Think its waking up," Urnoh said uneasily.
"Even if it does they only gave it a small potion. I'm guessing it was a healing potion of some type but it won't do any good if that thing is really injured." The Undead said, seeming perfectly calm. "So it's dead either way."
"Shhh!" Krylo pointed to the forest. "Over d'ere. Somethin's coming back."
They fell quiet as he saw the two figures appear from the forest. He sat straight as the Human and Draenei only took one look at him before they crouched down near the figure. He watched the Human's face closely as he looked over the figure, the Human grimaced; he spoke to the Draenei in Common, his voice sounding concerned as he looked up at the Draenei. He cursed under his breath for not taking his studies with the Common language seriously, only understanding certain words here and there as he tried to listen. The figure cried out in pain, startling the Human and Draenei. He guessed the Human found where she was hurting the most since the figure curled up into a ball and was hiding its face in the bedroll whimpering.
He stiffened when the Human looked in the direction of the Horde captives. He saw the Draenei nod and say something softly. He caught the faint word of 'Troll' and clenched his jaw as he saw the Human make his way towards Sahee.
Sahee stared up at the Human warily as he kneeled down, resting an arm on his raised knee. "Troll I know you speak Common, you spoke it when you Hexed that Blood Elf."
Sahee nodded her head slightly. The Human let out a long breath, looking away from her for a moment. "I need to ask you for your help."
"Help? Why the hell does he need help," Liam growled in Orcish.
"Be quiet." Sahee said, not taking her eyes off the Human.
"It has to do with that thing over there I wouldn't doubt." Urnoh grumbled turning his back to the Human.
"Think he'll make a deal with us?" He heard his brother ask.
"I don' know. We'll see what he needs help wit' but I t'ink your right Urnoh, it has to wit' dat t'ing. Didn' you hear it, it sounded like it was in pain." Sahee said taking a glance at back his brother. She looked back at the human, sitting straighter before asking in Common, "Why ask for my help?"
The Human looked back at her surprised, he knew they were talking about something in Orcish but he didn't understand what they were discussing. "Because you are a Shaman and I know Shaman's can heal."
"And?" Sahee stiffened slightly.
"Please I need your help to heal someone," the Human said, his eyes pleading. "I wouldn't be asking you but our Healer went off to scout ahead and the girl needs medical attention. The potion she took wasn't strong enough and she's going to die if she doesn't get healed properly."
Liam grinned, "Told you it was dead either way."
"What did he say?" Krylo asked.
"He wants her to heal the girl." His brother said, his eyes studying the Human's face. "He doesn't like to see people suffer, it hurts him in a way."
"Let her die, she isn't our problem!" Liam said, rolling his eyes.
"I agree with the Forsaken!" He said, loud enough for them to hear him.
"I'd like to see t'is girl." Sahee said, looking in the direction of the Draenei and the figure.
"What!" He and Liam shouted as one.
"Sahee, where ya goin'?" Krylo turned around to see her standing as the Human took her metal cuffs and shackles off.
"I'll be right back, don' worry." Sahee turned to him smiling before she followed the Human.
"What the hell are you doing?" He growled as the Troll passed her.
"Be quiet boy, before I hex ya ass again!" Sahee hissed.
The Human crouched next to the figure, gently pulling the figure out of the ball it placed itself in, placing it on its back before he pulled the hood that covered the figures face. He was right, it was a girl. Her stomach turned into a knot as she looked over the girl's youthful face. "She be nothin' but a child!" She said under her breath.
"What?" The Human asked looking up at her.
"I said she's nothin' but a child." Sahee grimaced, noticing the dried blood along the girl's neck.
"Barely, she seems old enough to be a teenager, maybe a young woman…" She heard the girl groan and saw her fingers gripping the bedroll, looking down at the Human she saw a face of disgust. "Who can hurt such a young thing?"
Crouching beside the young girl, Sahee put a three fingered hand on the girls head, running her hand around the girl's head till she felt the cold wetness soak her hand. Furrowing her brow, Sahee pulled her hand away and stared at the crimson color before she looked up at the Human. "You neva noticed she was still bleedin'?"
"No. All I saw was the dried blood." Staring hard at the Human she sighed, bringing her attention back to the girl. She frowned, becoming frustrated that she couldn't open the girl's cloak. The Human helped her by pulling down a metallic piece that made an odd sound. It opened and she pulled the cloak away from the girl's body. Placing her hands on the girl's neck she felt for anything that was out of place, running her hands to her shoulders, keeping one hand on the right shoulder a little longer before feeling her arms, there she froze. She stared down at the girl, puzzled, before placing her hands above the girl's ribcage on her right side, applying slight pressure. Sahee jumped back startled when the girl cried out in pain. She watched as the girl rolled into a ball gripping onto what seemed like a necklace. Shaking her head Sahee placed her hand on the girl's hip and squeezed softly, the girl winced at the pressure but didn't cry out.
"How bad?" Sahee heard the Draenei ask.
She shook her head and let out a long breath before saying, "Very bad but I don' t'ink someone did dis to 'er."
The Human and Draenei glanced at each other for a moment before she went on. "She's bleeding from da right side of 'er head, 'er right shoulder is dislocated, and 'er right arm is completely fractured. 'Er right hip may be jammed but 'er ribs... she may have internal bleeding if 'er ribs punctured anything. Nothing attacked 'er..."
"Then how is she-"
"She fell off of somethin'." Sahee said looking up at the Human.
"Can you heal her?" The Human asked staring down at the girl.
"Listen human, I tell ya now. I'm not at my full strength and I don' know if I only can heal 'er alone..." Sahee looked away from them for a moment before looking down at the girl then looking back at the Human. "But I promise you dat I-"
"I can help!" He heard the familiar voice of his brother call out.
"Help with what?" Urnoh asked shifting uncomfortably.
"Fuck the damn Human let it die!" Liam yelled.
"I'm a Priest," he heard the anger rise in his brother's voice. "It's my duty to heal the wounded especially as a Holy Priest."
"Fuck your duty!" Liam spat. "Did you forget your helping our goddamn captors?"
"She be nothin' more den a child mon'!" Sahee suddenly stood, her eyes red with rage.
"It's a Human!" Liam growled.
"Dat Human be a child!" Sahee bared her teeth growling menacingly back.
"QUIET!" Gyum yelled above the rest, silencing them with his cold glare. "Did you not hear her? She said it's a child, no matter Horde or Alliance a child should not suffer in such pain and die!"
They sat in silence till he finally looked away from the little group staring at the figure that sat in a defensive ball. Sighing to himself he couldn't believe what he was about to say. "What are you standing around for? Are you going to heal the damn thing or not?"
Sahee turned in his direction her eyes slowly dimming back to their original color. She nodded slightly to him before turning to the Human and Draenei who were shifting uncomfortably back and forth. "We can heal 'er." She made a gesture to his brother as he stood up nodding to the Human. "In the condition we are in, it be betta' for two of us to heal 'er instead of jus' one."
"Ok." The Human unshackled his brother and threw his cuffs to the ground, motioning him to follow.
Sahee sat down next to the girl, placing her hands on the girl's ribs gently. Once Trin was positioned beside her she nodded to him, closing her eyes she focused on seeing the girl healthy and well in her mind as her palms began to glow a faint green color brightening as it found the wound. Trin shut his eyes, relaxing his muscles and letting his hands hover over the girls head, focusing on trying to see the wounds in his mind before a bright gold light appeared from his palm. The two of them sat in concentration, their faces straining to keep the magic flowing from their hands and into the girl's body. Zane sat in awe watching the golden light of his brother's heal leave the palm of his hand and wash over the girl like a soft wave before it disappeared inside her.
He saw the girl relax under the healing magic and uncurl from her defensive ball as he saw both healers pull their hands away. They sat in silence as Sahee stood and stumbled back to the small Horde group and dropping into Kryol's arms, fatigue consuming her. Trin sat back, taking a deep breath before he attempted to stand. His brother only took a few steps before collapsing. Jumping up Zane pulled on his chains as he saw his brother struggling to get up. "Trin, get up!" He saw his brother smile as he stood, stumbling feet away from him. Grabbing his brother's arm he held him up for a split second before he sat him down next to the tree.
"You know mom would have my ass if she found out that you were watching over me…" his brother said softly, closing his eyes.
"Dad would have my ass if he saw you in this condition." He said, closing his eyes also.
He heard the Human saying something but all he caught onto was 'safe'. Opening his eyes he saw the girl roll on her side in his direction, part of her face was covered by her hair but he went stiff when her eyes began to open.
