Elaine started moving more and more meaning she was on the verge of waking up. Even though they were the first humans I met after coming to this planet, I could not be too complacent. I had to make sure that nothing unexpected happens. So I ordered skeleton archers to hide in the branches of nearby trees and get ready to shoot if any efforts to free themselves were shown by my guests.
Skeleton archers swiftly climbed two different trees nearby and drew their bow, ready to shoot at anytime. I showed them vital points in human bodies and made sure they would shoot those spots first . After all the preparation was done, I was ready to greet my human guests.
" HUH!!!! ... I am not dead !!!??? " Those were the first thing that came out of Elaine's mouth after waking up. She looked confused not on the fact that she was tied but was rather surprised on being alive. Everybody would feel the same losing conciousness in middle of battle and waking up alive. She calmed down rather soon. She thought of something for a while and started observing her surrounding to find out who was the culprit that saved her and Viktor from the dungeon and tied them here.
" Hello Elaine " ln a deep voice I called out her name. First impression is the last impression thus I had to create a image of being a overpowered man that they could not resist so they would co-operate more enthusiastically.
Looking visibly confused she asked " Who is there ? How do you know my name ? "
" You are not the one who asks question." I shouted as I wanted her to think that I was angry. I could understand her confusion but I had to create an upperhand so that she would not try to resist.
After a brief silence she asked again " Where are you ? "
I was confused. I wanted to say are you so blind that you cannot see this handsome tree right infront of you but stopped. It was more advantageous to me that they did not know who I was or where I was talking from.
" It does not matter where I am. You just answer my questions and I may grant you your freedom. " I said calmly maintaining my mysterious image.
Elaine thinking I was not there tried to free her hands. Controlling a person could only done by creating absolute fear or respect. Gaining their respect in this planet after being tied up was out of the question so only fear could control them.
" Do not try to free yourself. After I question you I will set you free." Even though I would not leave them, I had to gain their trust to obtain information. If they knew they would never be free and ultimately turn into my nourishment, they would began to despair and not agree to my conditions. So I coaxed them with what they wanted the most at the moment.
She stopped for a while. Acting like agreeing to my words and again began trying to free herself. Did she not understand human dialect? Or was she so dumb that did not even understand what was going on and who had the upperhand in this situation.
Without giving it a much thought I made one of the skeleton archers shoot her thighs.
SWOOOSH.....
A arrow flew in high speed and embedded itself in Elaine's thigh. She screamed and tried to move even more. She desperately tried to free herself. This angered me. Did she not get a word I said? Or did she think I could not do anything to her ??
I made another skeleton archer shoot.
SWOOOSH....
This time a arrow embedded it self in her arms. Two arrows where shot consecutively but still her resistance did not stop. So I made skeleton archers shoot her but leave the vital points I had told them earlier. Her death should be an example to Viktor who had woken up during all the commotion but still acted to be unconcious.
SWOOOSH....SWOOOSH.....SWOOOSH
Arrows after arrows were fired. Elaine wriggled in pain and had stopped her resistance somewhere between the barrage of arrows but it didn't matter now. Her disobedience to two of my warning shots had already set her fate on stone.
After a while a porcupine looking Elaine was breathing her last breaths.
" Hellow Viktor. " I greeted him knowing that he had already woken up but was just pretending to be asleep. After some time of no response I made skeleton archers end Elaine's life.
SWOOOSH ... SWOOSH...
Two arrows were shot. One piercing her eyes while the other went straight to where her heart was. Elaine was dead.
