The Forbidden Touch From the Abyss (EDITING)

Chapter 7

I hate him.

Jule leaned against the wall, huffing. It was a stupid plan, a freaking stupid plan. Right now Ace was making a trap, and she was stuck distracting these things to make that happen. Her being live bait, is going to get her killed. Yet, Ace believes she could do it.

She shook her head, she hated this plan. Turning her head just an inch, she got a peek of the trolls. There were five, and damn was Ace right, they were ugly. It's exactly how he described them, they have hairy warts all over their faces, humpbacks as big as a boulder, and as hairy as a bush. In all honesty, they look like they had been hit by a truck several times.

Jule turned her head back, breathing heavily. She had to face those things, and it was suicidal. Especially if they are man-eaters. That's it. Ace must not like her, he probably wanted her dead so she wouldn't have to be a burden anymore.

She sighed, figuring Ace was waiting for her to go with the plan. Since he disappeared somewhere, in the dark. With one last deep breath, Jule walked through the entry. Although it was dark, it was light enough for her to see clearly. The trolls were sitting on rocks, eating on one that looked like a surfboard. She looked away, mouth opened with pure disgust.

The trolls, they were eating flesh. They ate messily, chomping on the body parts of a corpse. Jule wanted to leave, she couldn't be their next meal. She stared at the sword in her hand, the silver was shiny, and she knew it was sharp. But she also knew, it wasn't enough to kill all of those things. She just hopes Ace would come as soon as they saw her.

They were loud, and practically giants. Too busy eating to notice she was there. She nodded, supposing that was a good thing. She didn't want to near them anywhere, but she could swear she was going to kill Ace if this would manage to work.

She almost gasped once she felt something thump her head, hoping it wasn't a troll who had noticed her. Slowly, she looked up, praying it wasn't anything life threatening. She was relieved to see it was only Ace, but angry. He was somehow sticking to the ceiling, she couldn't see how. But that didn't matter to her right at that moment.

"Your dead." She mouthed.

He didn't seem effected by her words, revealing an amused smile. She wanted to punch it right off his face, maybe then she would be the one smiling. He pointed to the trolls, who had still had to notice Jule, and waved towards them indicating he wanted her to make a move.

She wanted to laugh, she had already made a move. It was up to them to notice her, and she wasn't going to do jack squat for what he said. She crossed her arms, and gave him a derisive smile. Just to spite him. She was going to have her way, whether he liked it or not.

Just then, her smile vanished. Ace had thrown a nut across the room, and it landed on a troll in the back who was gobbling on a leg. Jule widened her eyes as she stared horrifically towards the troll, she knew right there she was screwed.

The troll stood up, knocking down the rock they use as a table, and roared tremendously in anger. She felt her lips trembling, body shaking. Damn you, Ace. The troll picked up the nut, and held it up vigorously. "Who threw this?!!" Even the voice was horrendous! Throaty, and deep.

The other trolls, looked around. Grunting rather loudly, Jule knew this was the time to run. Just as she moved her feet, they all cast their gaze on her. Jule stopped, breathing heavily. The trolls were silent, and so was she. She couldn't run, they would just go after her. She couldn't look up, they would see Ace.

So she decided to do what she thought she could do best, even if she desperately wanted to disappear. Awkwardly, she waved hi, nodding encouragingly. "Sup, uglies."
