People of Fae

by M.M. Gavillet

“Where are we going and who are you?” Toby no sooner finished his question when something swooped from above and curled around his waist.

  Toby felt the ground leave his feet and then found himself in a nest of tall brush. He tried to move, but the vine curled more of its tentacle around him like a snake. He yelled out and pulled franticly at the constricting vine. A hiss came from beside him. Toby turned his head and could see two red glowing eyes peering back at him.

  He couldn’t yell anymore and much less breathe as the vine curled around him.

  “Back!” The giant man’s voice commanded as he pulled at the vine with his massive, bare hands tearing apart the plant in pieces.

  Toby squirmed until he was free and jumped up to be securely grabbed by the Wes and the other Fae.

  “You have to be quiet Etherling until we are though these parts. I can assure you there are worse things out here.” The giant man warned in a low voice.

  “I have a friend with me and he may be lost,” Toby said in whisper.

  “We found him already, and he is with Zoey.” He replied before turning into the dark timber.
