As we continued to go further into the woods, I could still hear that voice calling out to Shan-Yu.
From what I could hear they sounded upset and afraid.
Shan-Yu was so busy hurrying me along that he didn't realize that I nearly tripped a couple of times keeping up with him.
Finally we reached the middle of the woods, it was dark, and the only sound that could be heard now was the rustling of leaves in the trees around us.
Shan-Yu stood absolutely still and looked around. Almost as if he was expecting to be attacked.
Letting go of my hand, he reached behind his back and held onto a large, sharp, and unique looking sword.
I gasped as someone began to walk out from behind a tree.
Shan-Yu put me behind him and readied himself for the attack.
"Woah boss, it's me!" Said another Hun. He had a long face, similar grey skin, and long black hair.
"You idiot! How many times have I told any of you not to sneak up on me?!" Said Shan-Yu with such anger that it scared me.
"Sorry sir, but when we couldn't find you we began to worry.... Uh boss I thought you said we weren't taking any hostages."
"I'm not his hostage" I said trying to defend myself. But Shan-Yu cut me off.
"Nevermind that! What's the damn emergency?!"
"One of our men has been injured sir. He tried stealing for us and was stabbed!"
"Show me now!"
All 3 of us quickly ran off to see how bad the injury was.
And I began to wonder what I had just gotten myself into..
(Hello everyone!!
Happy new year!! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. You try finding time to write when you have a two month old keeping you busy all the time lol. But I have plenty of ideas for how I want this story to go. The only issue I seem to have at the moment is coming up with ideas for names for the 5 main huns. The one with long black hair, the archer, the twins, and the other one with the funny hat. If you guys have any suggestions for any of them let me know and we can get the rest of the story going.
Thank you for the love and comments. See you on the next one.)
