I don't blame it for what happened next. I am fearful but I don't blame it. Maybe it would have been better if my teammates never existed, at least they wouldn't have had to experience it. I believe it was a natural reaction for my teammates, if a creature that could only be described as a demon with red skin and two faces appeared and held the most important person hostage your only thought would be to retaliate, wouldn't it?
Before I could regain my composure and respond to the creatures statement, arrows had already shot towards it, and before anyone had realized it had already killed the hunters that shot at it. The knights seeing this, charged towards it with weapons drawn, they didn't stand a chance.
The creature turned around slamming the back of its fist against their swords and chopped two of their heads off, moving onto another area it punched through ones stomach, spewing blood on his allies, and threw him at the furthest knight caving his chest inwards. Following this it he chopped down on the closest ones neck severing the head from the body, and with his forward motion landed on his hands bringing a heavy downwards kick against the head of the last knight.
The scouts had already begun to run away but with his speed they could not run for long, before they had gotten even ten meters away they had died. Needless to say, the fight was brutal to an extreme, many of them couldn't let out a scream if they wanted to before death.
I was truly terrified now, slumping on the ground with defeat I waited for the demise I knew was coming. This scene had traumatised me, the friends I had spent almost the last week with had been killed in cold blood and I knew for sure that I would be next.

After the fight I returned to the person that I had held captive, they where now slumped on the ground shivering. It seems I have frightened them. I approached the person and lifted the hood from their face, underneath was a teary eyed young girl, maybe in her late teens. She had a slim face, brown eyes and crimson red hair.
"I will not hurt you, so do not cry. Lets talk somewhere else, as this area is no longer suited."
I gently picked her up and carried her too the lake, once there I washed off all the blood, and sat in front of her. When I sat down she quickly scooted herself back a bit.
"Calm down, as I have said I will not hurt you."
"Then what will you do with me?" She asked.
"I need a guide to the village you spoke of, I will provide food and warm fires in exchange for this."
"You're not going to take advantage of my body?" She asked in a shaky voice.
"I wouldn't be able to if I wanted to, you have nothing to worry about"
"What do you mean?"
"I am genderless." I said bluntly.
"..." She stared at me with suspicion in her eyes.
"Lets change the subject, my name King Crimson or KC for short, what is yours?"
"C-Cerise." She said timidly.
"Well can you tell me the direction of the village so I know where to go?"
"It should be that way." She says as she points in the direction that I had dragged the bear.
"Then I will quickly grab supplies for the journey."
