"Hey shrimp, why don't you watch where you are going huh?"
"Ah… umm… I am sorry. I didn't do it on purpose"
"Oh really? You looked like you were really enjoying yourself! You are a pervert, aren't you. You can't lie to me little boy"
"No.o.. Really I didn't do it on purpose. I am really sorry!"
She started to walk towards me slowly and I started backing away from her. But there was never much space behind me and I soon had back to the map on the wall. The tall woman stopped in front of me, placed both of her arms on the wall to trap me while leaning so that her face was close to me.
"You think I don't know your type? This might be the first time I see you but I know how you people are. I know how to deal with your type very well. The right amount of beating usually does the trick" she said while smiling wickedly.
I wanted to cry. Just what was happening today? Being almost killed wasn't enough. Now I am going to be beaten up this woman? This day just keeps getting worse!
"I think that's enough Val! Look how scared he is! The poor kid is going to cry! He might pee his pants like the last one you bullied. I am not going to help with the cleanup if you create a mess this time"
A red haired slender woman walked my left and leaned on the wall as she looked at me. She was also tall but not as tall as Val. She was more than a head taller than me probably around 6'0 or 6'1. The top of my head was probably just below her shoulders. It was harder to tell since she was leaning. She looked like a beautiful young woman but she had mature expression that made her look older than she was.
"Fine fine…." said Val as she straightened up. She looked at me with an amused smile and said "I was just having some fun with the little guy. I mean he looked so helpless that I couldn't resist a bit of teasing!"
She was standing close to me and I had to look up quite a bit to see her face. She was just so domineering that I could not shake my fear even after she had let me go. I had always been small for my age and avoided any types of physical confrontations with bigger kids. While my height had increased as I grew up, I am still considered short for my age. Val was almost 2 feet taller than me and probably the tallest person I had ever seen or at least had been in close contact with. Her red haired friend was closer to the tall men in the guild, which made her really tall for a woman. While women in the guild seemed to be taller than normal women, these two looked like the most impressive of them all.
