Judith had not ran too far, she hid behind a tree and watched her brother and the Dark Elf fight. Her hand still clenching her side, she had been blinded by fear so badly that she had knocked in to a few more trees after the first. She felt like an idiot. Her ears perked up as she heard voices, some fellow Light Elves had arrived. She watched as Brishen was wounded, her eyes became consumed with tears. She feared the worse for her brother and for herself. Then the Dark Elf was captured. She could not imagine what they would do to him. He had admitted to being the killer of their king after all. Her brother was bleeding when he began to approach her. Her heart pounded nervously in her chest, he was going to punish her for this. Despite being older than him she feared him. He was taller, built bigger, more stronger and had been trained better. As a child he would hit her and tease her constantly. Judith wondered why she still worried about him and called him her brother. She cried out as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her out from behind the tree.

"I'm not going to forget what you did," he hissed and squeezed her wrist. "You shouldn't be playing with Dark Elves, Judith. When you were a child it was understandable. You were a child, you were naive and didn't understand." his other hand went to her face, he turned her face forcing her to look at him. "But now? You're an adult. You have seen what they are like, you have killed them as well." he muttered hopefully under his breath. "It seems that even that can't make you see how your behaviour is unacceptable. They have killed us-"

"We have killed them, too!" she spat, she began to cry out of frustration. "Before the war. Before the death of our king. We hunted them like they were animals. We hated them because of what we were told as children. Mother and father taught you to hate!" she was screaming now, she pulled her face away from his grip. "You never allowed yourself to think twice about what you were told. I'm was not naive. You were!"

Judith flinched as she felt her brother's hand meet her face. She brought a hand up to her sore cheek, though she didn't feel surprised. He let go of her wrist and grabbed her by her hair. He walked, forcing her to come with him as he held her tightly. "When we get back," he growled. "You will regret what you have done." she began to sob.
