Lost

Chapter 19

She stares into my eyes, but they are full of hate and fear, not love. She doesn't recognize me. I hold my stare but instead of glaring, my eyes show love and hope. She can barely see my face from up there but she can see my eyes. She still doesn't recognize me but I can see her face scrunch up in confusion. Before I can try anything else she looks away.
"Take her away!" The fat jerk demands.
I smirk at the nickname I gave their chief. She struggles against them men who grab hold of her. The man who took her from me at the cave (I'll call him the short one even though he's not that short) lifts his sword. Astrid winces against the sword's point and yelps as he shoves it harder against her side.
They take her off the little "stage" and out of sight. Crap. Well that went well.
I grunt as I turn around to sneak back into the shadows. Then I'm suddenly ripped backwards by an intruding force on my shoulder. Before I can respond, the force speaks.
"Heyy ya ma-an, where a you going wih'out a drink?"
I slightly roll my eyes as I turn to face the drunken barbarian. My eyes find a red bearded man with foggy eyes and a stupid grin on his face. I don't respond right away and I see his face turn serious and confused. "I don't think I seen ya around here befo'." He leans closer and before I can blink, a figure shoves between me and the man. I step backwards. Then the figure speaks.
"Hey! Dude! Let's go! They just started a wild game of slaughter the beard in the woods! You just missed Killman chopping off Hogface's disgusting beard he treasures so much. It was HILARIOUS!" It takes me a few seconds to realize the guy is talking to me.
"Hey, do you know this guy?" The red beared man asks.
"Hey! Pepperchin!" The mystery guy turns around, acting like he didn't see the bigger dude there before. "My man! You don't know this guy? Come on everyone knows this guy! He's from the sea. This guy holds legends! He's know all over the world!" He says as he gestures to all of me.
Pepperchin looks confused but suddenly grins as he says, "hey it's this guy! I know you!" He reaches around the mysterious guy and shoves my shoulder. Then he runs back into the crowd, cheering obnoxiously and waves his beer in the air. Then the mystery guy walks past me towards the shadows behind. I turn around and follow him cautiously, curious about who he is.
