Battle In the Night

"Yep…" Seth trailed off and stopped. He was looking into the trees at something, something unseen. "Kat," his voice was suddenly low, and warning like.

"Do you have a weapon?" his voice dropped even more. "Aside from your bow."

"I am currently looking at a patrol of enemy soldiers," he spoke slowly. "And they have already spotted us."

There was no response for a moment. Then an arrow launched from the trees headed straight for Kat.

Instantly they were surrounded by a group of maybe twenty or more warriors all wielding weapons. "Somehow I think the answer is no."

(Not really)
Seth pulled his dagger out and faced the people around them. "You take the ones on the left, I'll take the ones on the right?"

As soon as Kat had her weapon out, they attacked with absolute viciousness and fiery. Seth seemed to disappear in the sea of bodies that appeared.

A woman suddenly appeared in front of Kat. She was holding a spear with the tip pointed to the ground by her foot. Her hair was long and white, and her eyes were a dark purple. She was wearing metal armor and a deep red under shirt. "Hello darling," she said in a sickly sweet voice. "How are you this fine day?" The enemies around Kat backed up and formed a circle around both women.

"Lovely, such wonderful manners, you should learn something from this girl Seth," she looked past Kat. Seth was being held down by almost six people. One of which had a dagger to his throat. He still was fighting them.
"You know, I like my manners just the way they are thank you very much," he panted. "What do you want Kara?"
"See what I mean, you could teach him a few things," the woman, Kara, sighed placing her free hand on her hip. "Doesn't even ask how I've been for the last few years."

"You I don't want to fighⁿt," Kara replied. "But I am with the other people here. Now Seth on the other hand, I have a bone to pick with." She walked past Kat and over to Seth and crouched next to him. "You may go, I have no problem with you."

"You I don't want to fight," Kara replied. "But I am with the other people here. Now Seth on the other hand, I have a bone to pick with." She walked past Kat and over to Seth and crouched next to him. "You may go, I have no problem with you."

"Oh honey, I'm not giving you a choice. Take him back to camp, I'll deal with this one," Kara smiled, almost psychotically, at Kat. Seth was pulled to his feet, fighting the whole way. Once on his feet he kicked the legs out from under one of the people holding him. Twisted himself around, slinging two people into each other. And pulled himself free of the people holding him. Not giving them time to recover and grab him again he jumped over to Kat.
"We're no match for them here," he panted. "We have to get back to camp and get help."

He glanced back as they ran. "Unfortunately," he replied after a moment. "She was my old General. Until me and fourteen others went rogue on her and backed out."

"A few minutes tops," Seth slid to a halt and leaped into a tree. "So we're gonna buy ourselves some more time and screw up the trail."

"Absolutely not," Seth turned to look at her. "If we did that we would be asking to die. She might catch up to us yes, but I would rather have her catch up while we're together, than while we're apart. If she catches up and we aren't together she will not hesitate to kill us."
