Heartless

The damsel in distress

"It's operation Dawnstar all over again."

"Yeah but this time, the hostages won't run. I wandered what happened."

I woke up mid conversation. I did the sneaky thing and pretended to sleep. Their voices were hush but I was trained in the art of eavesdropping. "You know he doesn't like hostages and that old man, why keep him alive?" Again both of them wore masks.

Perhaps they had hideous burns and bruises all over their stupid faces. You never know. "Well Cane is the one who brought them in...so it's his problem." The guy took out a dagger and pointed it towards me. "But he didn't say we weren't supposed to hurt her." A shiver ran down my spine.

"Come on Cane don't be like this!" A voice shouted from afar. Followed by a few curses and then someone started to chant 'FIGHT'. Everyone ran towards them. I on the other hand took the time and found away to untie myself. There was a bottle of wine on the table near me. So I kicked the table and it broke when it hit the ground. I managed to get lose but the wine...

I peeked outside. A few of them no longer wore their masks and I must say. They where quit handsome...some of them. Ugh SNAP OUT OF IT!! Can you blame me?

I ducked behind tents and crates. I carefully maneuvered my why around them. I'M A FREAKING NINGA!! I sneaked around the camp for awhile. It was quite big with ten to fifth teen smaller tents and a large tent in the middle. "Cane, come on man, we other things to worry about." The same voice shouted.

"HEY, the girl got out!" A guy pointed toward me and some started to come at me. I cursed and looked around for safe way to get out. Guess the old man will have to wait. Wait why don't he just use his powers to poof on out?

I turned around and ran towards the trees. "She won't get to far." Someone yelled.
I kept on heading forward but I would have to stop eventually. Not mention the old bag I have to rescue or something like that. I'm pretty sure that if he learns I escaped he do it to... I think.

I stopped and took in my in my environment. The branches that reached towards the other trees, some of them were hollow and others had small but eligible hiding spaces. The tree I chose (yes very formal) was hidden by bushes. I crept inside on and brought knees to my chest. It was odd that they hadn't caught up to me yet, seeing how they are supposed to be super fast.

"Would you hurry it up we don't have all day!" Someone shouted and foot steps neared me.
I held my breath.

"Would you just shut it, I know how important this is and as far my brother is concerned...He. Can. Go carve a rock." Cane stood in front my tree. That didn't make sense perhaps it's because I only heard the last part... No it's him. He placed his hand on tree I was hiding in.

Damn it. He found me. Great...I need to think of a way to get... away. Think...
Think, think, think. SAYING think won't HELP damn it!

Ugh snap out of it. I can't talk my way out, already tried that. That's probably why I am in this situation. I am not strong enough to fight... or am I? Technically I can't get hurt so I can use that to my advantage then perhaps if I can find the booby traps or even lore him towards them I... How does that help me? I'll think about that later. Let's get this party started!

I waited until he stood right in front of me and then I jumped him. This, in my case, was poor judgment. I mean the guy is like way taller that I am and his steady form didn't budge. He didn't even move, well not until he grabbed my wrist and flung me to the ground. I should have just left Elliott. "Nice to finally meet you face to face, Cane or should I say face to ground." I smiled and then remembered that I was facing the ground and I was eating dirt.

He ignored me but kept me pinned down. "And what is it with this girl, why can't we just kill her and be done with it?" Well that would be the wise choice but since they are villains they aromatically make stupid dissensions.

His buddy shook his head like a bobble head. "No. Elliott said that if we wanted him to help us, the girl has to come with... and be left alone. Which means that no one is allowed near her expect for I, you and your brother." The other guy raised his eyebrows. Cane loosened his grip around my arm and stepped back. Allowing me to get back up on my feet. He mumbled an apology. I chose to be the bigger man/ girl and ignored him... and I might have kicked him in the private place.

Just as I was about to run again Cane the Doofus picked me up and slung my over his shoulder. "What the hell you moron, put me down!" That bustard made me a cliché. I didn't pound on his back nor did I yell 'Let go, put me down'. Oh no I did the smart thing and pulled out my gut retching scream. I kept on screaming until he through me on the ground...again. "Ow! That hurt! You know I am not some rag doll you can through around!" freaking bustard. He looked quite pissed off if you asked me... How could I tell he past the edge of mad?
Well...

Exhibit A- His nostrils are flaring. (Not very nice looking.)

Exhibit B- He was on top of me trying to choke the living day lights out of me. (Trying)

Exhibit C- His nasty ass nostrils are all up in dis bidness... (Nostrils are ugly as hell, flaring and such.)

His partner practically had to rip him away. Both their eyes where wild and infuriated. "If you know what's good for you, you will you will shut up." Now I was being carried by his friend, The Other Moron.

When we got back to the camp, I am sad to say it but I didn't make it that far, I was once again tied up. Now however I was in same room as Elliott.
Time to Escape...again.

"Ell-" I was interrupted by him shaking his head so violently it looked like it was going to fly right of. Right of!
"What...I can't hear you. Try again a little louder this time. Oh my bad you have a little something over your mouth. Yeah it's tape... burn it off won't you, you can do that right?" He frowned but only for a second and he breathed in deep and out came Flames.

It's so pretty.
He was engulfed in bright red flames. When the flames died, he was free. Unfortunately the flames reached me and I was once again engulfed by the never ending darkness. I passed out again. Dang it!
