Thread: To Break Down The Walls (Kravin5150 & darkangel76)

Vino watched as Kyle started to ascend up to ridge. He judged by her hesitant answer to his question that she either couldn't climb or was afraid of heights. He didn't particularly like either scenario at the moment. As she made her way up he could tell the she wasn't used to having to climb. However, she seemed to be doing alright so far. He stayed below to watch her for a minute in case she slipped up. Figuring she had a good enough grasp on it he began to climb up. The rocks were ridged and steady. They provided good footholds and Vino was at least thankful for that. He couldn't imagine what it would have been like if this were a ridge with loose rocks. He began to climb up at a steady pace, not wanting to rush himself. He looked down a realized they were a good height off the ground. A fall right now wouldn't be very pleasant. He finally caught up to Kyle but that was because she stopped. Were not at the top yet, why'd you stop? He asked as he looked up at her and realized she was trembling. He saw her hands and legs shake slightly as she held tried to hold herself as close to the cliff side as possible. 'Great, she scared of heights.' He thought to himself as he watched the girl tremble on the cliffside. Hey, it's only a few more feet. You can make it, just don't stop and don't look down. He told her as he waited below her. He hoped that she could make it up the ridge and not fall. He began to watch as she slowly began to climb with shaking limbs. He could tell she was forcing herself onward but there was no turning back now. That's it, your almost there. he encouraged her as he began to follow. He looked up to see that she had made it to the top. He let out a sigh of relief, but it was cut short when he heard her scream. He looked up in time to see her being yanked up off the cliff. Kyle! he yelled as he tried to climb up faster. Just the a group of shadows peered over the cliff. He could make out four men, all worn looking with dirty clothes and poor hygiene. They wore worn out jeans, some had shirts and some didn't. They were average build aside from one very overweight one that was currently holding Kyle. A very skinny one laughed menacingly as he jumped about. Bandits. Vino said through clenched teeth. This day had taken another turn for the worse. One of the bandits stood over the cliff, he had a shotgun in hand. By the looks of things he was the leader. He had a full beard and long matted hair. Well now, lookie here at what we dun rounded up. He said. Judging by the way he talked Vino had guessed he had more fingers than teeth. Bandits were inbreed psychos that roamed the lands robbing men and raping woman and it all ended in them killing them and sometimes feasting on the dead body. The world was a cruel place now. I sure do wanna thank you kindly for blessing us with such a purdy girl. Me and my boys are going to have lotsa fun with dis one. He said with a large smile. Sorry theres not nuff room in our group fer you so we's gunna hafta kill ya. The leader said as he pumped his shotgun and shot at Vino. The buckshot sending him off of the cliff and he fell through the air and landed at the bottom with a huge thud. His body laid there motionless.
