159 The Traitor Elf 1

-------------

~ELVEN FOREST~

The moment Astrid, Jareth and Little White-Fire came out, the forest midday sun, shone brightly on their faces, illuminating them.

Astrid blinked several times, adjusting her eyes to the foreign light when all of a sudden she heard a shout, not too far from where they stood.

"Attack!!"

"Here comes trouble," she whispered to Jareth.

Jareth quickly wore his hood on, perfectly covering his face from everyone's view. "Get ready Astrid, we have to fight them and escape through the tunnel that Glacier mentioned."

As he spoke, his ears twitched and he paused for some seconds. 

"What? What is it?" Astrid asked.

"Damn it. Astrid fight with all that you have got and perhaps we would be gone before the next batch of soldiers get here."

"What?"

"Reinforcements are on their way here, Astrid, more Elven soldiers."
