[Arianne]

"You can't be serious!" I balked and looked at David.

He just turned and looked at me for the longest time with narrowed eyes and said with a laugh," Don't worry about it. We'll do the fightin, you do the healin."

I turned to Alice to help convince the idiot in front of me to turn back and go back to the guild but she had found a sudden interest in her daggers. David's grin widened, indicating that he wouldn't be turning back no matter what happened.

He was probably one of those guys who thought that they could easily kill monsters just because they were above the normal level. He was strong , but there was something about him... , no, the both of them that I found rather intriguing.

I know I lied about my level, but these guys aren't normal. They could be atleast Gold ranked from what they have shown so far. I thought to myself while casting a suspicious look at their direction. Both of them were right now, consulting each other. Battle tactics maybe?

I sighed, drawing their attention and said "Well whatever you say. Let's go. Just don't make me fight"

I bit my lip and waited. David gave me a small smile and said " Well, off we go then."

10 minutes later, we were still moving towards the stronghold.. The path was supposed to be straight, so why was it taking so long? . I was getting a bit irritated. I wanted to quickly get stronger and meet my saviour once again. It was only because of him that I was able to escape alive from the hellhole I was living in. Oh! I wish I could just see him once more and thank him for this second chance. 

My life had been a living hell unit THAT person saved me. It was not like I had any feelings for him. No, nothing of the sort. I just wanted to thank him from the bottom of my heart for saving me . I looked towards the two siblings who had suddenly stopped. 

"What's wrong why did we stop?. " I asked curiously.

"Ssshhh!" Alice hissed and David covered my mouth while hugging me close as if he was hiding. I could feel my cheeks becoming warm.

I looked up at David . He caught my gaze and whispered, " We reached the stronghold. "

He let go of his hand and I slowly peeked towards the direction they were staring at. It was a dome like structure. More like a house in the shape of a dome. There were 4 guards . Two of them, standing on a lookout at either side of the entrance and two keeping a lookout from the roof. The two on the ground were obviously bored as they were strinking up conversations with each other.

"So, whats the plan?" David turned to his sister.

Alice was deep in thought for a moment and said." I'll take care of the sentries on the ground with Step and Devil's Assasin to kill them quickly. Dave , use Double shot and kill those two on the top. Arianne..." 

She looked at Arianne and said" .. Just stay put"

Both of us nodded our heads in agreement to her plan. David immediately started nocking his arrows. He probably only about 30 arrows left in his quiver. He raised his bow and aimed at the sentries at the top.

Alice nodded her head and used Step to head towards the sentries on the ground. David released his arrows and calmly took out the sentries on top without even twitching an eyebrow. The two bodies dropped to the ground in front of the other two goblins. Shock registered on their faces but before they could do anything, they had stopped breathing and their heads slid noislessly from their shoulders.  

To be honest, I couldn't quite wrap my finger around what had happened right now. Sure , they killed the goblins but it was rather ... too quick. I widened my eyes in surprise.

Both the siblings ran back toward me and started discussing the next plan of action.

"What now?" David asked. "The front door?"

"Nope." Alice said, with a wry smile. 

"The roof."
