Johh stayed in the shadows and hid in the brush. He heard the deep breathing of the Orc as it approached. He held his dagger close and waited for the beast to get close. Johnathan held his breath and stayed very still. He watched the Orc sniff the air and swing his massive battle axe. The massive male bellowed and a whole group on saddled sabertooths came out of the darkness. Johh new his job was to flush this group and hoped his father was in position. He looked up for a second at Alyx. Now he learned that the young fighter was changed against his will and not born a Vamp he felt bad. He knew these men had excellent smell and hearing. There were too many to attack. They were coming off the mountain and headed toward the main road. Johh mind raced, he knew they had hunting parties and this could be a small band and the full army still on the mountain or hiding in the forest. The band stood around the tree and from their voiced they were in a argument. He wished he understood their language. Kate hand told him to learn Orc and Johnathan ignored her advice. Perhaps Alyx knew their language. He hoped they would move on. He felt the breath of a sabor sniffing at the bush he was hiding. Johh heart was beating out of his chest. He kept telling himself, don't show fear..don't show fear.<br/><br/>In a heartbeat the large cat roared and poked his head into the bush. Johh took his fist and punched the beast on the nose. It roared and jolted his rider. The group of Orcs were in a defensive stance and looking around them ready to fight. Johh stayed very still and hoped they would move on.
