Anthea could hear the jingling armor before there was an imaged put to the sound. With the shouted warning from the man, and Elle of all people leaping to action, Anthea was rather pissed at herself for not sensing the bandits above. Quick as lightning she flung her dagger at one guy, getting him right in the eye. Retrieving her dagger she wiped off the blood on the man’s corpse. “One down, four to go. I would advise you dogs to scatter!” Anthea said angrily to the group of men. From behind her, a tree trunk of a man grabbed her and held a knife to her throat. This just made Anthea even angrier; there had to be something wrong with her today, she would never get taken by surprise like this, and to not even notice the presence of some stupid mediocre thugs… She had to have a fever or something.

With a quick twist of her body she was able to get out of his grasp. “You smell like a week old chamber pot.” Anthea said to the man as she drew her sword. If a look could kill, the thug would be dead with one look at Anthea’s face; the icy glare she was giving this man would make children cry. As she swung her sword in the man’s face distracting him, as she tossed her dagger at the man advancing on Elle. She got him right in the back, as he fell face first into the ground with a loud thunk.

“Nooo! You killed my brother you bitch!” The man yelled his face turning red, as he ran straight towards Anthea mace in one hand. She couldn't back up more for a huge tree was behind her. “Shit.” She said under her breath as the man came running like a ram at her. He swung his mace just missing Anthea’s head by a few centimeters, as she ducked down.

 The tree behind her now had a big gouged out spot in its trunk. She was lucky she was agile and quick, or that would’ve been her head, smashed like a melon. Crouch down under the man who was recovering from the shock of the fact he missed her, she drew her dagger from her boot and jabbed him in the leg, only to find that it was wooden. She looked up at his face, as he smiled down at her with an evil grin. He grabbed her by the hair and began to strangle her.
