Stranded

Chapter 11 ...

I clutched my side as I approached the village, and tore my shirt to stop my bleeding side. I disappeared from outside view as I entered the mouth of the cave. I let my eyes adjust to the darkness before I continued down the winding maze of tunnels. These tunnels get hopeless fools lost before they even reach the entrance to our cave deep within the mountain. I could hear the water dripping around me as I skillfully avoided all the traps we set for intruders. You have to know your way around these traps and winding tunnels to even reach our home. Finally I reached the main entrance and quickly made my way inside. A vast cave revealed itself infront of me and I was greeted by the same smug faces.

"How'd it go Silver Wind! Wait is that blood?" Asked one stupid unimportant 'friend' of mine, Strider, "Did you get the girl?" asked another unimportant 'friend' of mine, Swift Breeze.

"If I got the girl wouldn't I have her here with me you imbeciles!" I shouted at them

"Oh, right, right, yes Silver Wind my mistake." Answered Swift Breeze, both of them nodding with consideration trying hard not to piss me off anymore.

I just rolled my eyes at them, the nerve of the idiots...

"Silver Wind," Storm Gale, Swift Breeze's sister, called out to me, their parents are simpletons.

I looked up at her from where she was standing. She was above us all on a higher rock formation that resembuled a chair. Her jet black hair flowing over her shoulders as she wore her classic gear. A gray cloth top that exposed her stomach and cleavage and her long gray skirt with a slit cut up to her mid-thigh.

She laughed as I looked her up and down

"What, see something you like?" She teased

I laughed

"What can I do you for?"

"I see that you didn't get the girl, too bad, but we will have to try again with the cover of the night."

"No," I interjected, Breeze looked at me intently knowing I already had a plan

"That Chief's son, Jack or whatever, is a smart young guy. He knew we would try something, or maybe he didn't. Either way, he has moved the girl closer to the village. Jack must've told his father by now, so we can assume the usual lockdown. That means coming anywhere near the village is instant death, and I mean that. After all, we are outnumbered, not stupid. Well maybe a few of us are," I shot a quick glance to the 2 imbeciles in the room who looked away, "That's why we need to come up with a new plan..."
