Infernal
Chapter4
I walked up to the women and glared up, "Excuse Miss, I would Like to go across the bridge, if that is not a problem with you?"
The woman laughed, "Child, I am Jane, Jane Little, And you may not cross this bridge without money!" I Shoved my hand into the pocket of my vest only to find a empty wallet. "Err," I gave out an awarkward laugh, the women smiled, and grabbed something from the floor the bridge, a long staff. Eek, She swung it high and hit me hard over the head, I fell into the water, gasping for breath.
"I guess I'll swim!" I began to swim to the other side, Eventually getting out to find the Giant behind me, "What IS your problem?" The giant shrugged, "Where are you going child?" The giant asked,
I shook my head "WTF? why the hell do you want to know, you just tried to kill me!!!"
"Aye, but I would like to join you on your way my courageous friend!"
"Huh? Wahhh? Hey, you aint following me you strange mother-" She smiled and reached for me, "No way my friend, No way are you grabbing ME!"
"I will follow you Ruby, I am sorry for the inconverance, I had to put you to this test to see if you have determination and will to not fight those innocent and to get the other side!"
"Test? Fight? what?"
"Come now!"
"Huh?"
"Just come child I am no danger, Furry may come too!" She smiled down at me,
"I am Jane as said before!" THe giant, I mean Jane, gestured for Furry to come over to us, and as she did Furry came to join us at the other side. Smiling Jane Lead on, I gingerly followed behind with Furry, I had no idea what was going on. She lead us into the deepness of the forest opposite the one we were in. She lead us down a muddy dirty road.
"So, Urm-How did you know our names Miss Jane?" I asked politely,
she grinned "My dear- It is a extremely talent, I know all of the woods and everything that enters I know what they want and they're names!"
"Err, Furry?" I looked down to the red fox next to me,
"Mistress, This women is the guardian of the forest, she can protect it no matter were she is, she is a friend, she must be taking us to friar Oka's Church..." Furry trotted along, grumpily.
"Oh kay-" We walked down the long grubby road. All the while I wondering "What if she kills us? She is most definitely strong enough!" Half an hour went past and we arrived at an clearance. A church stood before us, a tall cream colour church, covered with mould and lime stone. A bell tower was towered above us at the top of the 100 foot church. Jane went down to the door of the church and bowed, then dragged the stone temple door. "Come, come!" She called to us, we ran over to her. I looked around in case the sheriff was around or his guards! Jane closed the doors behind us just as I ran in. I slipped to the floor with a thud. My head at a mans feet. I slowly stood up, looking at the hooded man, he was large and frightening, despite only been 4 foot tall, a foot shorter then me! I took a step back and bumped into Jane, who smiled down at me. I gulped, "He-l-l-o!" I grumbled "Hello..." said a voice behind me, not Jane's, a happy, not so booming voice, "Hello, welcome to the church!" smiled a man running in front of us, grinning like a chesure cat, I smiled gingerly and waved. "Oh hello Ruby, you wont know me, I was friends with your father, yes lovely man, he was, I guess you've met friar Jack, changed hasn't he, I know you know him, he's old now and getting ready to settle into a town house down in London!" The man said so quickly I couldn't understand a word he said.
"Hunt for them in the forest I will go into the church with Albert and Jame, GOT THAT YOU SNIVERLING BRATS?" I heard a man bellow "If you find her, beat her and strip her! Ruby Hood!"
