The Huntress

A troll wearing a kilt

A wonderful way to end the day. With a blissful nightmare. I was in the forest. It looked familiar. It was nighttime. I decided I should walk around. That's when I started wearing weird noises. So I did the most reasonable thing. I followed where the noise was coming from. I saw an old cabin. It wasn't big like the ones at camp. But it looked strong enough to stand for a few more years. I started walking towards it then stopped when I heard those weird noises. This time it was louder. I quickly ran and hid in the bushes. That noise, it sounded like growling. I looked around the house and saw weird looking creatures. How did I not see those in the first place. They looked like hybrids. Others looked more hideous. They surrounded the cabin. I don't get it. What's in the cabin? Why is it important? Why don't they just barge in and get what they want. They stood around the cabin as if there was an invisible wall. That's when I heard a voice. I looked around trying to see where the voice came from. It was really hard to see since it was dark. The voice came closer. I thought they'd figured out my hiding spot. But they were just passing through. The voice was deep and hoarse. I looked our again and saw where the voice was coming from. It came from a- no way. It looked like those trolls in the stories Dad used to read to me. Looked like a male troll. But you could never tell the difference. He looked so ugly, as if he face was burnt then moulded again but the sculpture didn't find time to finish. He wore a viking hat and a... kilt? And giant boots. I wouldn't want for him to step on my toes with those things. Another monster came over to him and bowed. "Commander Zogark", the monster said with his head lowered. "Any word from the Queen", asked Zogark. Alien-ish name if you asked me. But I don't think he cared. "Yes. She says the time is near. We must attack immediately", replied the monster. "Excellent. And any word from the spies in the camp", asked Zogark. I could feel my heart beating in my throat. Felt like it was going to jump out of my mouth. "The girl arrived recently but she hasn't settled yet". Zogark found this funny. "Very well. Be gone and recruit more of our monstrous friends, Ecaflip", Zogark wavered his hand, motioning for Ecaflip to leave. "Get ready Blaire Levesque. We're coming for you".
