Before you can decide, you’re attacked

You sighed and knelt down in front of the wolf, realizing that this decision was not going to be easy. You glanced over at Blue, who was by your side. Despite his lack of features, your could tell he was just as upset as you were.

You gave him a little pinch on the cheek, which you couldn’t tell if he liked or not, and after watching him scurry out of your sight, you turned back to the wolf.

“Oh, what am I going to do with you?”

You winced, as it lunged forward in an attempt to bite you, the rope holding it back. You were sure the rope would hold, but it was still a little worrying. The wolf was so close, that you could smell it’s gross breath, a reminder that this was not Pochi.

“Hungry again? Let me see if I still have something to feed you.”

Rummaging through your bag, you looked for more dried meat, but the sound of snapping twig caught your attention.

You quickly glanced around, looking for the source.

“Blue?”

You called out to Blue, hoping he was the one that caused it. But, before you could find the source, it struck.

With a whine, the wolf fell to the ground, a strangers arrow lodged in its heart.

Quickly, you jumped to your feet, but before you could notch an arrow in your bow, another arrow came out from the woods, slicing your bowstring in half.

Holding your now broken bow, panic quickly spread throughout your body, freezing your actions. You had felt fear before, but this was unnatural, like some magic was clouding your thoughts.

Now that you were frozen and the panic had fully set in, your attackers made themselves known.

From directly in front of you, a beautiful dark elf showed herself, coming out from the trees like she was dispelling some sort of invisibility.

Her bright red eyes partially hidden by the white hair that flowed down her head, ending just before the waist which held two scimitars, sheathed in decorative scabbards.

As she walked towards you, her body spoke to you in an almost hypnotic pattern, her dark leather clothes reinforcing her curvy body and perfect skin.

Despite the intense fear and distracting attraction you felt towards her, you could still notice the lack of bow or arrows in her possession. Which was right when you noticed the other two woman that made themselves known by walking up from behind the first.

Unlike the first one, these two wore minimal designs on their clothes, only dark cloth, which did well at hiding the details on their figure. Their faces were hidden by cloth masks, but even though, you could easily tell that these two woman were dark elves as well, their similarly red eyes being obvious through their disguises. They stood guard behind the first, their bows already notched, revealing to you where the perfectly aimed arrows came from.

The main woman reached her destination, which was right in front of you. With a smile on her face, she reached forward, grabbing your face with a hand, as if inspecting it. With an elegant and playful voice, she spoke.

“You certainly are cuter up close, your poor little face of terror might even make me regret killing your little wolf.”

With trembling hands, you dropped your broken bow and arrow. You intended to say that you surrendered, but the only noise you managed to make was a quiet squeak from your shaky breath.

“Awww….what’s the matter? Cat got your tongue? No bother, I’m sure you’ll start talking soon enough.”

Turning her head to her underlings, she spoke to them in a language you couldn’t understand, which after listening to her, they quickly took your remaining weapons off of you, then blindfolded and bound you with rope.

Without a noise, you found yourself being carried off by the two underlings, your body not letting you resist, as you saw your broken bow and the dead wolf, the only evidence of your capture, disappear from sight.
