Stalked by an Orc

Xiaoyi slowly sat up and looked around. In this cabin there were 3 beds all made of wood and had beast hides as blankets and the mattress itself. There was a fireplace made of stone and dried mud that made its way out through the top of the cabin. The doors themselves were about 10 feet tall. She could clearly tell that they were big creatures. It also made her a little nervous. When would she meet the bigger ones?

No matter what they were, that old lady could easily take her on. She looked out a window to her left and saw green fields filled with tall grasses and wild flowers that looked like sunflowers but of different colors. Along with 4 more cabins in sight. The beautiful sights quickly got over runned as a couple of green people noticed her and pointed her out to other tall muscular green people walking around. 

'I've seen enough anime and read enough novels to know these are orcs. I'm both glad and scared that I'm not dead.'

She gets up and immediately grabs her side. She forgot she was hurt due to the adrenalin again. She sat herself up on the bed and started eating the food while a couple of orcs gave her disgusted looks from through the window. 

The food wasn't anything to be excited about. It was impressive that their utensils were similar to what it was on Earth. However instead of forks they used "fiveks" as it had five promgs. The meat tasted like beef. The only issue was that there was too much of it. There had to have been 2 pounds of cooked meat on this plate.

She was able to eat about a quarter of the food but she was too full to continue. 

'They don't seem like they want to hurt me right now as the old lady said she wanted to talk later so hopefully it's safe to go back to sleep.' 

She goes to sleep so that she can recover her spent energy from when she was going through her cold hike in the cave.

After what seemed like a long nap it was the middle of the night when she woke up. She looked around and saw a small candle in the middle of the room barely lighting it to be able to see. 

Due to the candle being lit she was able to tell that the old lady and her grandson were sleeping in their beds. 

Then the thought crossed her mind. 'Whose bed am I in?' She asked herself in her mind.

She got up and quietly made her way out of the cabin while holding her side. There were quite a few cabins and even a couple bigger buildings. She slowly made her way through the village as she saw a couple orcs still awake in their cabins. 

The most breathtaking view was of the night sky. She had always seen the sky poluted by city lights. This is the clearest night sky she had ever seen. It was as if she had gone back in time to before humans made lights.

She knew enough to know that this night sky was clearly not the same one she was used to though. Should could clearly see a planet about the size the moon would be in the night sky. Along with another galaxy easily visible taking up about a 4th of night sky.

After taking in the beautiful sights she snaps back to reality.

'Am I able to wander around or should I go back?' 

As she was turning around a orc that was following her quickly tried to hide behind a cabin but ended up slamming his face into it. Some of the orcs that were awake looked outside to see what the noise was just to see one of their kind knocked out on the ground a few feet awake from the human. 

"Do you think she's stronger than she looks?" One of the orcs asked while he watched Xiaoyi walk over to the orc on the floor. 

"Nope, that idiot slammed his face into the cabin instead of hiding. I watched it." A female orc responded. "Let's go see if she needs anything."

The two orcs stand up from their table and make their way out of the cabin to see what happened. 

Meanwhile Xiaoyi was poking at the guy that just hit the cabin to see if he was still alive. He hit the cabin so hard the cabin walls are now slanting. 

"I wouldn't be surprised if he's out for a couple hours after a hit like that." She said while poking him with a foot long stick she found. 

"Hahaha, sorry about him. He hasn't known his right foot from his left since he was born." A 7 and a half foot tall orc lady said to her. 

Xiaoyi's mouth dropped as she saw how tall and muscular this lady was. If the old lady was strong this lady was like the hulk. 

"Yeah its a shame hes the chiefs son and not me." A deep manly voice said as the hulk himself stepped out of the cabin. This orc was about two heads taller than the lady he was standing next to. 

Xiaoyi's mouth that she didn't think could drop more dropped even more. This is the tallest and strongest looking man she has ever seen. 

'He could probably be hit by a truck and not be the one to reincarnate.' She thought to herself while she helped her jaw close. 

"Hello, He kinda just fell over. I think I scared him." She responded to the orcs. 

"Yeah, he was told to watch you because an elder brought you in without consulting the chief and refused to get rid of you." The manly orc said.

"He wasn't supposed to be seen, but clearly that didn't work. What are you doing so early in the morning? Your wounds didn't look good when they were bringing you in." The orc lady asked.

"Truth be told, I feel like I'm dreaming." Xiaoyi replied with a nervous look. 

"There's not enough food for this to be a dream." The manly orc said. 

"Well, where I'm from, orcs are only in stories." Xiaoyi said. 

"It's the same here. The elves were said to have killed all the humans a very very long time ago. I don't think any elves could still be alive from that era though." The orc lady said. "Come to our cabin, I promise we won't bite." 

"Okay." Xiaoyi replied nervously as the three of them started walking to the cabin across the dirt road. 

They sat down at the table next to the window where the orcs watched the chief's son slam his head into the cabin. 

"I'm going to ask you and I know you will be asked by a lot of orcs in your stay here, but do you know why it snowed, what the lights were or what the box in our head is?" The lady orc questioned.

"Unfortunately I also don't know anything. However I am curious where the other cities or towns are? I would like to go home if possible." Xiaoyi asked. 

"The good news is you probably can go home. The bad news is its probably not going to be easy. Over near the entrance to the cave we saw a metal trap caged with 3 male humans inside dead. We don't know how the trap got there but there are probably more." The female orc told her.
