The Forest has eyes

Ha! I actually hit him and that one wasn't enchanted. Uh oh, I think I pissed him off…perhaps I should have thought this out more, but I have to finish this. Crystal thought as she prepared for her next onslaught.

She was right, it did piss him off. He had walked right into her trap and now he cursed himself. He reached down and pulled out the arrow. Blood flowed profusely from the hole. He furrowed his brow with the pain. He was feeling faint now. He hadn't recovered from the incident earlier with Twyla or his sun sickness. Now he was under attack from a foe he couldn't see. All he could think of what that elemental witch his hand mentioned earlier. But he couldn't leave and he didn't know why. He stood completely still in hopes to hear where the nest attack would come from. All he heard was a breeze rustling around his feet.

I know this is only going to anger him, but this is the only way I know how. Crystal thought as she knocked 2 arrows, both which she had enchanted to go where she told them to go, on her bow and took aim. She stood posed as she conjured up her vines once more to entrap the hunter. Those would hold him long enough for her to talk to him.

D was feeling dizzy as the vines started moving towards him again. He tried to jump out of the way but he was too week to get more than a foot off the ground and they climbed up and wrapped around his legs keeping him locked in one spot. That's when he heard the twang of the bow string. He couldn't go anywhere to avoid it. The arrows went right where she had told them to go, one in his right shoulder and one in his lower back. His lip curled with pain as they struck him. The vines wrapped up his body and took hold of his arms and wrists. They held tight as he weakly tried to pull free from their grasp. All that did was start to cut into his paler than normal skin. That's when he noticed the arrows were also draining him of his strength. His wound on his stomach wasn't healing as fast as it should and he was making things worse by trying to pull free from the vines that bound him. He was dizzy and his body started waiver, his mind was beginning to fall in and out of darkness. He had lost too much blood already. He was still trying to pull on the vines that were pulling on him when a voice from his left hand rang out.

(D, stop fighting her. She means you no harm. If you stop she will ease up on you. D, D listen to me this time. Stop this, she wants to help.)

That wasn't how he understood it. He had walked into a trap and this person wanted to see that he didn't walk out of it. He was sure that they didn't know they were about to get their wish. His body couldn't take much more as he finally went to his knees. He was in horrible pain and the though the sun barely illuminated where he was he could feel the heat taking its toll. His back was searing with pain where the arrows were, there was something on them that made his back feel as though his back was on fire. With his fists clenched once more he tried to pull free again. The vines only tightened more. His eyes were dipping in and out of focus and his body was shutting down from the pain in his wrists and legs and from his back and stomach.

Crystal couldn't believe how long it was taking. The vines were enchanted to not break when pulled on and the arrows with a pain enchantment that rendered the person useless. The thing was she wasn't expecting him to actually fight back. She surely couldn't let him go now because he would definitely come after her to kill her for this. She held tight to the enchantment and waited for him to finally succumb. What she didn't know was the heat of the day was added to his torment. She finally got what she wanted, he was down on his knees…but still fighting. Why won't he just stop? She didn't release the power on the vines as she approached him.

That was all D could take right now. He shook his head to try and shake off his rapidly approaching darkness but it didn't work. He went down. Pain shot through his body as he landed on the hard vines. His body couldn't take anymore.

(D, D come on buddy. Stay wi…)

Was all he heard before his mind plunged into the dark realm of unconsciousness.
