…The machine was closing in on her with every step she took to get away. Before they could reach her, something made the horses nervous and they slowed down. In less then a blink of an eye two massive clumps of rocks and dirt appeared and then smashed together, catching the monster in-between. The noise of metal hitting rock was like thunder, Bewildering the horses into a frenzy. Ethan clamed his horse as much as possible trying not to lose control, but Orrick was much closer to the impact.
“Stop sugarcube don’t ..don’t…”
But before he could finish, Orrick was knocked off by the frighten horse as it jumped and rode off without its owner.
“freaking sugercube!!!” moaned Orrick as he throws a lump of dirt with little force in the horse’s direction.
… Ethan had gone to find the missing girl. He was positive she was the cause of the calamity. Not even a moment after this though crossed his mind that he saw a shadow forming from the sky. It was the girl falling down back to earth probably lunched from the collision. SMACK! She fell into Ethan’s arms. It was an awkward silence as there eyes slowing met. Their faces turned red from embarrassment. Quickly, she jumped to the grow staring with her eyes big. Orrick wobbled next to Ethan’s horse. Now both the guy were locked eyes upon the girl which locked her own upon them. From this distance It was apparent she was a teenage girl not very tell and pretty slim. She had deep brown eyes and rich brown hair, with two small curly pigtails on top. She wore a green top and a brown skirt, parts of her arms and legs were loosely tied ribbons dyed green. She gave the impression of a runaway or a traveler.
“um.. What’s your name girl?” asked Orrick, still dazed from the horse incident.
“Well its not GIRL I can tell you that” snapped the girl puffing her cheeks
Sassily Orrick replied “WELL don’t We have an attitude problem”
“Shut up dude” Ethan rows his eyes, “He didn’t mean anything by it,” shoots an annoyed look at his companion.
“My name is Cheryl” she mumbled as she gets up, then noticed crest on there armor.
Panic raced through her while the soldiers look on completely oblivious.
They turned so that they could talk among themselves.
“Well…now what? we saved her, so I think we should make her give us food” stated Orrick.
“yea but think about it that thing was owned by the royal army. Their the only ones that know how to make a giant floating metal death tarp! I don’t think she would want to mess with anything military do you?”
“You make it sound worse then it is was …I mean it was only …a um . giant…metal.. death trap ..GAH ! Fine your right!” frowned Orrick looking a way annoyed knowing he lost this argument.
“I see why she wouldn’t trust the military but we have…Ohh your talking about our uniforms!!! Well that’s easy lets just calmly tell her we aren’t going to arrest her and that we’re hungry and all we ask for is----HEY!?!?!!”
Orrick had turned around to face the girl but Cheryl was sneaking away from them. She was a few feet away when she noticed they spotted her .”EEK!! and she darted off as fast as she could.
“HEY !!!!!!” flabbergasted they guys started chasing after her. They chased her without any real reason but instinct and having the most random day in either one of their lives.
