Freya

Chapter 3: The attack!

Tiffany and I stare at one another when the sound of the bomb reaches us. Without saying a word, Tiffany grabs my arm and rushes out from the treehouse. My scream gets stuck in my throat as the ground comes way to quickly for my brain to take in. But before we crash land onto the ground, Tiff does a loop with her hand and we land very gently on the ground.

As soon as her feet touch the ground, Tiff runs as fast as she can back to the village, still with her grip on my arm. I am amazed that I manage to follow her without falling or tripping over my own feet.

But when we reach the village, I almost wished that we hadn't come back. The village is almost gone, the remaining houses that still hasn't blown up by whoever it is that is attacking the village, either hasn't gotten a bomb thrown at it yet or it has but the bomb hasn't gone off. There are people running around with their hands above their heads, some are lying in uncomfortable positions on the ground, it takes some time for me to understand that they are not alive and that I am looking at someone how lost their life to the attacker.

"Who can be so cruel and attack an innocent village? And kill innocent people for their evil schemes? Who in their sick mind can have planned this?"

- Look out!!

Tiff screams and pull me down with her.

When I look up again, I can see a spaceship that I know belongs to the Dark Elves.

"Dark Elves. Of course, it is them. They don't have any sense in understanding that what they are doing is not the right thing. They do what they want and does not care about the consequence that comes with it."

- Why are they here? And what can they be looking for? Slaves?

I say as anger is boiling inside me.

If there is one thing that I hate more than being known as 'Nothing'is when evil show it's disgusting face and takes innocent people and turn them into their own slaves for their dirty minds and forces them to do their dirty works.

- I don't know why they are here. But one thing is sure, they are not getting away from here without a fight. Find your family and get them to the treehouse. I know that you don't want me or anyone else to give you orders, but I don't want to see you in the hands of one of these filthy creatures. I...

Whatever Tiffany had to say there gets blown away with the force of yet another bomb that explodes to close for our likening.

We throw ourselves down onto the ground again and cover our heads with our hands as the wind wave that comes after an explosion fly over us. When we look up again, those houses that was closes to us has been blown up and the remains of them is now like a burning torch that shows the way in dark spaces.

I stand up and when I help Tiff up, I get the feeling of that something is wrong back at the house.

- Come, I need to get home. Something is wrong.

- Well yeah. The village is under attack. Everything is wrong.

- Tiffany! Wouldn't you make sure that your family is alright?

- I would, but I get the feeling that you will need me better than they will. Come on!

Tiffany grabs my arm and we run out into the mess that is happening around us. We duck for weapons that is aiming for a Dark Elf, we jump over bodies that belongs to both the attackers and our own people.

After what feels like an entirety, we finally reach my home, but we are not the first one to get there. The Dark Elf beat us to it.

- No.
