Chapter 2
"What are you doing out here?" Thorins voice echoed over the walls of the castle. "I have been searching for you for over an hour; we are late to the calibration."
Liana turned her head to look at Thorin as he came into view. She was lying on her back on a bench located on one of the castle walls starting up at the night sky.
"I'm not going." She plainly replied then turned back to look at the sky. There was a long sigh from Thorin. "The king has prepared a fest in your honor."
Liana was on her feet at the words your honor. "My honor, no dwarf, he has done it for my father's honor in an attempt to please my lord. Not me. I was dragged alone for show, and I will not be missed."
Thorin took her by the wrist. "I have been charged to escort you to the celebration The king has asked this of me, so if it's to the celebration you are supposed to be then that it where I am going to deliver you." At that he moved to drag her inside.
This action did not sit well with Liana. She had never been one to be pushed around and she certainly didn't like being touched.
There was a low growl from behind him as the hand he was griped on to was suddenly twisted free. Turning around he was quickly greeted with a set of glowing amber eyes and fangs attached to a less than impressed Fae. In an instant he was slammed backwards into a pillar. Liana griping his chest with her claws baring her teeth down at him. Her breath was heavy on his face, as her breathing swiftly increased. Thorin quickly realized the error in his ways. He was crossing a creature he had no previous encounters with and had no clue one what her reaction would be when backed her into a corner.
"It would not be wise to touch me like that again, next time I will not be so genital." The words rolled out of her mouth in a low hiss. Her eyes spoke so much about her. They were burning with anger, but not towards Thorin. She was merely using him as a substitute for where her anger truly lied.
As she released her hold on him she turned and jumped over the edge of the wall leading down into the woods.
Thorin stood there for a few moments trying to compose himself. Never before had someone handled him in such a way. He was both angry and impressed, and realizing that he had sorely miss calculated just what she was capable of.
Liana stopped a few yards away from a guardhouse set just before the thick of the forest. Thorin watched as she crouched close to the ground and silently crept up to the outer wall of the small house, unbenounced to the guard inside. He watched as she circled the minuscule stone house. She was stalking it, she was stalking the guard inside. He had seen many animals in the wild behave like this but something that walked on two legs. She was silent in the way she moved as she inched closer to the dwarf located just inside.
She positioned herself just under the window. From the sound of his movements she could tell how he was standing and where he was standing exactly in the house. She could tell by the sound of his breathing which direction he was facing. Thorin stood back in the shadows watching, as she stalked her prey. The guard turned to walk to the other side of the tiny house to look out the window into the woods, as soon as his back was too Liana she sprang through the window opening grasping the guard by the back of the neck and slammed him into the wall next to him. Once she was satisfied that he would be out for a while she reached down grabbing his bow and quiver of arrows. Thorin couldn't help but wounded why she chose this weapon instead of the more then capable axe strapped to the guards back.
She moved through the woods effortlessly in a manner that would lead one to think she knew exactly where she was going. The easy directions came to her was unlike any other creatures. She always knew where to go.
Liana moved quickly and swiftly. The moon hung low in the sky giving off a soft glow that illuminating everything around her. She was fully aware of the dwarfs presents several yards behind her, but she did nothing to alert him of her knowing
She neared a clearing and again ducked down into a stalking position. Thorin watched from afar as she again moved around circling some unforeseen prey. He watched as she stalked forward, reading her bow and slinking across the ground till she was a few feet from a small clearing, he watched as her ears flatten to the top of her head as she moved closer. It wasn't until deer suddenly sprang from the clearing scattering in all directions that he knew what she was doing. He hadn't even seen her draw back the bow or take aim.
She moved off into the clearing to clime her kill. "Are you going to fallow me all night or do you want to come and join me?" She asked looking over her shoulder as she pulled the arrow from the bucks' chest.
Thorin moved into the clearing. The stage was a good size had an impressive rack on his head. Thorin was impressed that she was able to bring it down with just one shot. He knew many dwarves that did not have suck skill.
"Why don't you get a fire going." She smiled over her shoulder at him as she dragged the stag to the far side of the clearing and began to field dress it.
That's it for chapter 2 thanks for reading.
