Heyyyyy everyone. This scene is looking pretty fun!
(<– anyone get that?).Haha! Yes! I mean, I think I do, hopefully I’m right and its the movie line I’m thinking of or else that would be really embarrassing. *laughs nervously*
Holly fell asleep as soon as her head hit her makeshift pillow, in spite of her attempt to keep awake. Her sword was still buckled to her belt and her boots still on her aching feet.
It felt like she had only slept moments when a scream tore her from her dreams. “SHAPESHIFTER!”
Holly jolted awake, eyes wide. She leapt to her feet, tripped over her cloak she had been using as a pillow, and fell hard on her back, head banging against a root. She squinted up at the canopy of leaves, and tried to make sense of what was going on.
Shapeshifters, why couldn’t she picture what they where? Where was she? Who was yelling? Then her mind cleared and she remembered. Wait, shapeshifters? Here?!?! Something slammed into Holly and sent her crashing into a nearby berry bush, the thing pinning her down. She looked up and saw the yellow eyes of what appeared to be a giant wolf, then her songsword came whistling out of it’s scabbard and ended the thing.
Holly scrambled to her feet and looked around. Lagoron was firing arrows left and right with Nora behind him, Arla was shouting insults at the enemy, Jason was shoving a snake-thing into the fire, and the new guy who’s name Holly couldn’t remember in her slightly confused state was shoving a frozen bear off of himself.
Holly clenched her jaw and swung her sword. A fiery and slightly desperate tune sang out in the night, coming from Holly’s sword. The shapeshifter closest to her screamed, and Holly cut him down.
“Why do evil monsters always chose three in the morning to attack?” She muttered, ducking under a claw, “What’s wrong with starting after breakfast?! Don’t your evil plans work just as well then?!!” Holly jabbed and leapt to the side, dodging another angry blow.
