Chapter 8 - I will do it myself

I had to do something, I had to save them, biting a finger of one of the guards holding me, he let go of me allowing me to half-moon kick the other two as soon as I was free, I glanced at the middle-aged man who insulted me earlier, and the princess, who seemed to have heard everything, heading towards the balcony in the throne room, I whistled, calling Aga and jumped off, grabbing on to him before the Soldiers could catch me

Now it was confirmed, the king wouldn't be of much help I had to do it myself I had to do it on my own, going back to our Village, I took the skull hilt sword and made Aga sniff it, now we would be the predators of the forest, he managed to sense their tracks as both of us followed it, on reaching a lake we stopped and I washed my hands and body, all that while scanning around for possible threats, then I heard footsteps, quickly climbing on Aga we hid on top of a tree

Whoever it was had been following us for a while and with my rage right now, I doubted I would let this person live if he or she didn't give me a good possible reason to, timing my approach, I lunged at the person on the horse making us both fall to the ground, I was stunned by the sight that greeted me

"Princess, what the, why, what are you doing here? " I stuttered not believing my eyes,

" I came to help", she said and

" Who said I needed your help" I replied, curtly, locking her neck with my elbows,

" They are my people too and I want to help rescue them," she said with sincerity, seriously I couldn't believe it, I thought the royals only cared about themselves, letting go of her, I got off her

"Why should I believe you?" I questioned, but the solemnity in her beautiful gaze had not faded,

"Whether you believe it or not, I don't care I just want to help save them" she declared "Fine" I agreed

just as I was about to walk away from her, I heard the sound of throne arrows directed towards her, but by reflex, I caught it from her breathtaking face

"Elves!" I shouted

Just like that, five armed elves pounded on us, I was prepared for an attack, and evading the first swing of his sword, I punched his helmet along with his head, then kneed his abdomen, with a kick he was hurled away as he fell on the other three soldiers in line, the bowman didn't cease fire but as he was about release another arrow, I rushed behind him kicking him in the back, he was quick but I was faster, so before the armored soldier could aim his bow at me, I had pointed his first arrow at him,

"I wonder how much poison it will take to kill from the eyes", elves usually dipped their arrows into poison for effective kill

" Wait!" I heard a shout from one of the Soldiers who appeared to have laid down their guard and held up their hands in surrender

" Don't, please" I wondered why they did that and removed the soldier helmet, bloody hell, what an ungodly beauty, her red hair was what greeted me first falling beside her beautiful green eyes, and long ears with her small lips, snapping out of my thoughts

"Why did you attack us?"I asked, scowling

" she's human "Elves and humans were never on good terms, they hated each other "Why are you here?", I asked with clenched teeth,

"We are tracking the Barbarians, your creature can trace a scent right" one of the soldiers asked,

" what are you trying to say" I inquired narrowing my eyes at the fourth soldier

"why are you tracking the Barbarians?" the fiery redhead girl asked

" they invaded my home and took my people, I have to get them back "

"then why don't we help each other, you help us track them down and we'll help you get your people back " they offered

it wasn't a bad offer but the question was could I trust them,

"Why should I believe you?" I frowned at the red hair girl we elves have a belief, that betrayal and lies are worse sins that are punishable by death, we give you our word we will help you" a soldier replied, I didn't know if I could trust them or not but right now I had no choice
