I don't own anybody but Amelia and Alex. You lucky people, getting two updates in two days!
Amelia turned and stood back to back with Nico.
"How do we kill these things?" she asked, watching as a massive black thing leapt into her vision. It was massive and would have looked like an overgrown shaggy dog if it wasn't for the glowing red eyes pointed her way. "And what is that?" Nico speed glanced over her shoulder.
"Hellhound," he said. He brought out a blade of pure black about 3 foot long, "Stay back," he ordered, he wielded the weapon with a frightening amount of confidence, she nodded and took in a shaky breath. Amelia blinked as the hellhound leapt at her, ducking quickly. Nico leapt into action swinging the sword but the hellhound twisted nimbly, dodging it by mere centimetres. He landed and spun, snarling at Nico savagely but it kept away, eyeing the blade curiously. Amelia was so caught up in the hellhound's strange reaction that she didn't realise the 3 strange creatures sneaking up behind her until they grabbed her, pulling her quickly down the street, back towards the park.
"HELP!" she screamed, she saw Nico turn but then she went round the corner. She grappled for anything she could hold onto but all she got was lots of cuts which added to the ones all over her. She couldn't breathe and kept hitting her head on the hard road beneath her. They suddenly stopped and she breathed a sigh of relief, she groaned and rolled over painfully. What she saw shocked her. There were three small things, the size of toddlers but very fat, there skin was green and they had tufts of white hair. There teeth were canine and their eyes were a solid green.
"What are you?" she asked, putting her hands over her mouth when she realised how rude she sounded. The three things stopped looking around and looked at her as one. She gulped as there little chubby faces leaked fury,
"What are we? WHAT ARE WE?!" Their faces went a pungent brown colour, "We are The Karpoi!" the one on the left said, there was no way to distinguish them apart from where they stood,
"Okay then… who are you then," she responded, being careful of what she did and she didn't want to infuriate them further, she didn't know what they would do.
"I am Barley and this is Millet and Wheat," the one in the middle beamed proudly.
"Why do want me?" She questioned, purely out of curiosity,
"Our master wants you; you are an important part of his plans," she gasped and double-took for a moment.
"What do you mean? Who's your master?!" her heart rate was increasing rapidly, she was starting to panic and she knew it. The one on the right, Wheat she thought, opened his mouth to explain but (Millet?) pushed him and quickly muttered something along the lines of
"Don't tell her, Master would be very angry," she was curious still and was about to say something but then Barley turned around,
"I'll make you a deal, we'll give you all the grains you can dream of ever having if you come willingly," she was confused, since when were grains a successful bargaining method?
"No, why would I ever agree to that?" She snorted, a little too indignantly to be comfortable.
"The hard way then." The three said together as if agreeing at one moment. They snarled, their canines suddenly looking very threatening, they leaped and she got ready to scream when a voice broke through her thoughts.
"Since when was it seen as perfectly alright to torment young ladies,"
Cliffhanger! Who was it? The somebody who knows who it is, here he comes! Please review!
