[hr][hr] [h2][center][color=2e3192]Jace[/color] and [color=a187be]Janelle[/color][/center][/h2] Janelle's sword shook, she wasn't able to hold it steady for she was afraid of the bats. It would be one thing if she only could hear the bats, but now she was able to see them, and she froze up. Jace stood near her, pulling out his own sword. He started striking at the bats, keeping them at bay, but they were out numbered. There was no way they could win, even if the monsters were weak. Jace couldn't fight them on his own, and Janelle was too scared to move. Suddenly a group of people came bursting through the trees into the clearing. Several of them paired up and started slicing at some of the bats. Yelling out to each other. Jace looked at Janelle, and he came up with an idea. She was afraid, but this world was new, she had never used her eyes before, but what if she couldn't see them. She practically had a sixth sense in her ability to find creatures and differentiate them from others. He tapped her on the arm, while the others kept the bats at bay. [color=2e3192]"Try closing your eyes. It might help you if you can't see them,"[/color] he said, and went back into the fight. She just stared at him, and nodded. Janelle took a deep breath, and closed her eyes, giving herself up to the darkness once more. Her arm steadied, and she listened to the beating of their wings. Janelle charged at the nearest bat, striking at it, Jace was surprised at how quickly she had responded to his idea. She was knocking it down, quite thouroughly. [i]Wow, this just got interesting,[/i] he thought.
