Collette cried in an exasperated tone and unlocked the door. "Collette I knew it!" Radae said as gleefully as she could manage. "Radae listen to me" Collette whispered quickly as she heard the boots in the distance falter as he talked to an orc guard. She tossed up the keys to Radae. "You have to get yourself out. NOW. I want you to find Faye, and Aranel, and go as fast as you may to the Ents and tell them to goings on."
Radae unlocked herself and tried to land on her feet in a cat-like manner as best as she could. "Where do you think YOUR going?" Radae asked, as she left her part out completely.
"Im going to kill Shade, and it will probably be the last thing I do. Now flee! flee these walss as I will never!" she said, and Radae swept down to hug the miserable creature. Collette cried out painfully, and the dragon quickly withdrew her hands to find them covered in blood. "Go!" Collette growled, gritting her teeth as the footsteps were heard nearer, and with one last fleeting glance, Radae fled from the room.
Collette leaned outside in the hall (with much difficulty), and seeing Shade approaching from the distance, she realized he would die with his own sword, as she did not have one.
"Greetings Shade." she said casually.
" I shall put you back in your cell you filth" he snarled.
" Lost the keys I stole. Fancy that." Collette mused, still not looking up. Her head was reeling with ways to steal his dagger.
"You are a pitiful thing Collette." he laughed, and drew his sword, knowing her clear intentions.'
" I do not desire pity. 'Tis you who craves that. Mayhaps they will though. Mayhaps they will pity you after you suffer under your own sword, gripped by a halflings hand, a pitiful thing." she clucked, and jumped past him and eized the dagger, holder and all....
