Crown of Shadow

Chapter 4

After the men had gotten over the sudden shock of having almost been beaten by a girl several of her opponents grabbed her arms dragging her over as she struggled.

"Welcome ot my humble camp my lady!" the blonde man blusterd, recovering from his surprise.

The woman scowled at him with venom. "I am as much a lady as you are you snake." she spat, leaving a respectable splotch of saliva on the mans well worn boot. "And you might want to have that checked out." she said nodding toward his hand with a smirk, tossing her long black hair over her shoulder, her red brown eyes flashing.

The man angrily handed Elisia to the man standing next to him and approached the woman that his men were barely restraining. "What business do you have attacking my camp?" he growled at her. The women smirked and looked away. The man yelled again "What business do you have at my camp?" the girl again turned away.

"You tell me or I will make you wish you had never been born." when again she said nothing he turned to his men. "Do what you have to to get her to talk."

Elisia in the background was trying to untie her knots unknown to the man holding her when she finally got them free. Her feet were already freed from her attempts with the knife, but holding her hands together to look as though they were still tied she waited for the right moment. Apparently so had the woman. She glanced at Elisia and her free hands and winked. She then vaulted of the ground doing a flip backwards freeing herself immediatly from her captors. Elisia bolted to the nearby trees following the women. "Go!" she shouted, shoving Elisia infront of her. Elisia was in the forest when she saw the girl fighting the men for the safety of the trees. Then Elisia turned and fled hoping that the mysterious woman was right behind her.
