“Over there” someone screamed, waking me up -Did someone found me?- i mumbled, as i try to remember how to actually be alive (Yeah, I’m not a morning person), It took me a little bit, but i’m finally awake enough to hear them, there are 3 at the entrance, all men, and i can’t detect any other human nearby, they are panting, -Why?- they don’t seem to be aware of me being here, maybe they just took cover from the storm, here in the cave, just like us.
They don’t seem to be coming any time soon, so i will go ba-. Wait, they are moving, they’re coming. I have no idea if they’re enemies or not, for now i will crawl to the roof and wait…..
While i’m here i’ll also extend one of my tentacles to observe them. They’re not walking in formation -Not enemies then?- they do have weapons tough -A warrior, a thief and a wizard uh- they don't seem to be stopping any time soon
-Shit, i think the wizard noticed something is wrong- the other didn't, so they just ignored it. -Phew, that was close-
This went on for a few minutes, until they reached a point where they were able to see the light from the campfire. They assumed a basic line formation and got their weapons ready.
They keep closing the distance, i will just retract my tentacle for now, there is no point in using it when they are so close….. they found the campfire “Such a lucky day” said the thief and pointed at her, i’m starting to dislike this idiots already, the warrior took a step forward and looked at her, they’re smiling and that odor, they got fucking horny!, that’s it, i’m murdering this suckers right here and now!
- Silentium- I chant in a low voice, making sure they can neither hear me nor scream for help, I start with the wizard, tying him up with 2 of my tentacles, the thief turned around in a instant -How did you know?, wait, you can’t hear me, right?- the warrior also turned, ha! they both look fucking terrified!, as he turned around, i decided to momentaneously cancel my spell, aaaand they didn’t notice even though they just talked to each other, okay I get it, you’re idiots.
Wherever, spell is back on and i start descending from the ceiling. they aren’t worth any time so i just swallow my prey whole and then look at the other two (I swear that if they don't shit themselves right now, i’m gonna be pretty surprised ‘cause sure as hell they look like they’re gonna do it), aaaaand they didn't shit themselves, Bravo, go you!. Anyway, i just trap both of them, and swallow them.
I stay still for a few seconds, that was quite heavy for a “little night snack”, until i heard a mumbling, “Scolopendra?” she says, her hand is moving, i go to take a closer look -Good, i didn’t wake her up- i walk, making a circle with my body around the campfire and her, then i rest my torso on the floor and take her hand -i’m right here- i say, she smiles, with my free hand i touch her cheek and say -Good night Liliam-. -I Should get some sleep too, tomorrow will be a long day-i whisper to myself as i close my eyes.
