Chapter 2 - Saved

A Slam!

The ogres were chasing after the remaining villagers

Roars

They smash tree to tree, removing them from their front to catch thier preys

Ogres were not mostly fast but there had reach the edge of hunger, so their speed was faster than normal

The villagers screamed as a tree was threw to their front, blocking their path

The villagers hunched together, trying to find away out of this

They was none...

The ogre had blocked their path and now surrounded them

They shiver in fear as the ogres licked their lips and came closer

They growled low... Their preys finally caught

Bang

Bang

A big ogre move forward, it wasn't as big as the leader but big enough

The other ogres seems to the waiting for the ogre to choose it's first food

It smirked and scanned the herd of little human food in front of it

It stops noticing a blonde pregnant woman, it drools hungry

The woman screamed as the ogre took her by the leg

"Sarah!" A man shouted in shock as he tries to run to her only to be held by the villagers

"Let go!"

"Sarah!"

"Hugo!" The woman shouted back

She was hung above the ogre mouth like a caught rat about to be eaten by a cat

The ogre mouth grow widen as the woman held her stomach, protecting her stomach as she accept her fate

"Hey!"

"No Eating While I'm Here"

Swoosh

Slash

The woman falls

She gets caught

Slam

The ogre falls to the ground, it's head rolling to the side

The villagers halt, letting the man go

The figure lands with the pregnant woman, steadying her so as not to shake her pregnant belly

He balanced on his legs as he huff annoyed

He helped her as she moved to stand, caressing her belly

She staggered back but she was gripped from the back

"Sarah!" Hugo shouted as he hunged his wife

She turned in tears and hugged him back

"The..thank you..." Hugo stammered out

The figure nodded as he turned to his targets

The death of their second leader made an uproar as the ogres gripped their weapons and started moving in anger towards him

He got ready to leap as his sword shinned in the moon light

"Get back to the village!" He shouted as he leaped forward flying pass the incoming ogre

His body turns in the air as we see a upside view of his legs turning, as his sword was slashed down

He dropped down, slicing the ogre head off on the way

Bang

It fell

He turned back to the villagers who still stayed

He glared

"The village is safe now!"

"Go Now!" He shouted as he launched to another ogre, blocking it's axe

He parried it and slashed it in two, he turned back to the villagers on when seeing his look started moving

They ran back to the bridge, one of the ogre noticed and tried to catch them

"Oh no you don't" he launched his sword to the running ogre while using his dagger to stab one in the head as he jumps off

The sword slash through the heart of running ogre and embed itself on a tree truck

The ogre falls but it's weapon rolled on the ground heading to the villagers

The villagers stopped as they saw the incoming weapon

They braces for impact but it never came

Bang!

They looked up and widen

The figure had kicked he weapon away as it flow to an incoming ogre and sliced it in two

The figure landed, he moved to the tree truck his sword was stuck in and pulled

The villagers finally left the scene, with the wife looking back to see him pull his sword from the truck and launched to kill an ogre running their way

She turned and covered her ears as tears fell from her eyes

Hugo held her hand, she looked up and at his eyes

They were sad but happy as well

She was save, as well as the other villagers

Their saviour was battling for them, they shouldn't let his effort be in vane

They moved to the bridge, it was sturdy and made with wood and stone

They was no print of someone running across as the figure just jumped past it

The villagers got on and made their way across

"Everyone!"

They looked up

Mira was waving at them, the chief behind her crying in happiness while her mother held him up

The villagers waved back as they crossed the bridge

They gathered around the chief as he hugged almost every single one of them

Hugo and Sarah were the last to leave the bridge

"Sarah!" Mira mom ran to Sarah who ran to embrace her

They cried in joy, Mira ran to Hugo who picked her up

"You're alive..."

"How...?" She asked

"Big brother healed her!"

"Even my leg" Shouted Mira as she pointed to her leg then to the forest the figure was at fighting the ogres

They all looked shocked then greatful

Boom!

They turned to the forest shocked

Flames was rushing to the sky as it blanks their view

Sarah eyes widen

The flames were coming from were the figure was fighting

Hugo moved to turn back,

"Stop" the chief commanded

The men turned to look at the chief

"We're worried but going back there is only going to make us a liability to him" he stated stern

The villagers calm down and stared at the flames which only grew bigger

Mira looked sad and worried as she gazed at the forest

The chief turned to the village as the villagers followed

Hugo dropped Mira as he helped his wife to walk

Mira continued staring at the forest

Tap

The elder tapped her shoulder, she looked up, her mother smiling as she opened her hand for Mira to take

She took it as she hugged her

"Don't worry" the chief said as he looked to the burning flames

"His strong"
