Victoria jerked her head back, startled by the sudden appearance of another person. A person who out of nowhere began to hiss orders at her and asking if she had any energy bars in her pack. Who the hell did this woman think she was? A look of disdain passed over her normally pleasant features as she looked the other up and down, wondering just where she got off telling her what to do. Victoria had a nickname in school, she was called Queenie, which she despised with her whole being. Part of the reason the others called her this had to do with her name, and her short stature, but the other came from the fact that she was quite wealthy and very stubborn. Victoria did not take orders from just anyone, certainly not this disheveled woman whose eyes were now rolling back and passing out in front of her.
"Uh?" She had opened her mouth to speak but the other was already down for the count. Victoria did take notice of a few arrows being deflected by some invisible source, but had a feeling that after the woman passed out it was no longer functioning. Somehow this person had some type of power that was able to protect them. She supposed she should be thankful, but all she felt was irritated.
Her irritation faded quickly upon hearing shouts coming from nearby, she had not even had time to focus on where the voice was coming from before an arrow landed in front of her feet. Victoria took a few steps back bumping into the tree just behind her, she reached behind to hold on to it.
"P-please don't kill me!" She cried out to the figure, watching it approach. Her mind was scrambling, she knew she had to figure out a way to get out of this. She was not so naive to think that money would work, but it was the only bargaining chip that she ever had. What did she have to lose? "M-my father, he's rich. N-Name your price. You'll be very wealthy, an- and ...."
She trailed off realising that perhaps the horned creature did not understand what she was saying. To be honest all she could hear was shouting, and didn't quite make out what he had said to her earlier.
"Do you speak...English? Francais? Nihongo?" Maybe those language lessons wouldn't go to waste? Victoria's father, in an attempt to have his daughter make real friends and not to spend her time showing off to aquaintances on bookface and chirp, signed her up for almost every course known to man. Well, close enough. Although she hid it well, Victoria was quite intelligent, although she had somehow come to convince her self that being smart wasn't attractive. After college she no longer had to take silly classes, and her family thought it had all gone to waste. Perhaps not. If only they taught a course on confidence.
Is this where it ends, and I die? Alone here in some strange forest by horned native people who probably want to eat my flesh and use my bones as drumsticks? Defeated she lowered her head and raised her hands up slowly, showing that she would not fight back. What could she do? She had no weapons, she had no magical shield, or any kind of supernatural powers. It was over.
