Isabel first heard words. She couldn’t understand them but she could hear them. She tried to move her arms but something was holding them in place. Then her sight came back. They were in a… huge thorn bush? There was a fire, but no smoke? Was this the afterlife? Wait afterlife? Then the memories came back Nameless with tears in his eyes. At the last second he moved his blade missing her. But then hit her in the chest.

“You all can stop pretending to be asleep.” Isabel herd the movements of bodies to her right. Then Nameless walked into view. From the left so there were still other people.

“You!” screamed a familiar voice.

“Ivo?” asked Isabel.

“Isabel? Where is Elyas?”

“He is out with Moraine, bringing in the horses.” Answered Nameless.

“Liar!” Screamed Ivo. “He would never help you after what you did to us.”

“Actually he helped quite a bit after we threatened to kill you.” There was silence. Kill?

Isabel gulped down some air. “You would do that to us? After all that we’ve been through? You would kill us?”

“If you’re trying to make me feel bad it’s not going to work. The reason you’re still alive is because we’ve been through so much. And don’t try to blacken my record you cant it’s already as dark as the night.”

Just then Elyas walked in. “Isabel, Ivo you guys are all right.” He was leading two horses through a small hole on one side. He walked them over to where Isabel couldn’t see. Moraine walked in with two more.

“That’s the last of them. Ow… you’re awake. Both of you. Have you explained the situation to them yet Glorfindal?” Nameless flinched at the name. “Ahh, so you hadn’t told them your name yet.”

Ivo said in a voice hinted with anger. “Glorfindal, that’s an elfish name.”

Nameless, or Glorfindal, through up his hands. “This is why I don’t tell people my name. We have an elf hater in the group.”

“Elf hater?” Yelled Ivo. “Your type took my mom! I have reason to hate you!”

“I’m not even fully elfish! I’m only a quarter elfish. And yet I get blamed for everything the elves do! I can’t control my ancestry!”
