Nura silently bent over the cluster of mushroom next to their camp and began to gather. Her eye was swollen and she was hurting all over from Blair beatings but she stayed close to him, mostly because she had no other choice. She was feeling the full force of her actions and Nura didn't think, even if they left her alone with her elven friend, that she could free Nuhrive. Blair was so disapointed and angry with her, she couldn't let him down again. Hoping to please him, Nura worked as hard as she could without falling over.
But Nura paused in her work, feeling some one's eyes on her back and they were not Blair's. She looked over her shoulder to see who. Her eyes met Rogar's and she shivered. He watched her too often and it scared her out of her wits, Rogar was her other reason to staying close to Blair no matter how hard he hit her.
A shadow fell over her, Blair's, as she turned back to the mushrooms and heard some one approching.
"I'll watch over her Blair, ye can go and rest" Nura heard Rogar's voice and all the muscles in her body seem to clench.
"Nah, I'm fine Rogar." replied her brother with a surprisingly commanding tone for some one who was smaller than the man he talked to.
Nura could feel Rogar's stare as he smirked and after a silent moment, walked away. Breathing a sigh of relief, Nura looked up at her brother.
"Get on with yer work, Nura." he commanded and she did.
