By the time I got to the cliff I saw that it was the Barrels who took him. As I got closer I realized it was the same Barrels from town! They had him tied to a tree and they were whipping him, trying to get him to tell them my location. Without thinking I ran up and tackled the Barrel with the whip, he hit his head on a rock when he fell and was knocked unconscious. I pulled a knife out of my pocket and stood up, ready to fight the other two Barrels.
"G-Gabrielle?" Brendan hardly had the energy to talk.
The first Barrel came after me and I ducked, tripping him then going after the second one. I ran towards him and he barely had enough time to react, I stabbed him in the heart. The first one grabbed me from behind but I head-butted him and he fell back. I quickly turned around and stabbed him.
I dropped the knife and stood there in shock that I had just killed two Barrels.
Stephano suddenly spoke up. "Dayuuuum, are you sure you're a Barrel?"
I pulled out Stephano and gave him a big hug then gasped, realizing that I needed to free Brendan.
"U-un-tie me..." He sounded very weak.
