Judith didn't raise her head when Rhyldrin returned home to a house full of enemies. She didn't even look as he was tied up then seated beside her. Judith was wondering if there were any possible way to get out of this. She would have to wait for a great opportunity, then she could see if she could flee with Rhyldrin. It was only natural that she wanted to save him. He had done the same for her many times already and she owed him quite a bit. Though she would be branded a traitor and would be hunted by both Dark Elves and Light Elves. The thought of living a life without a home or security frightened her. Judith brought her head up finally, she leaned back against the wall behind her and let out a sigh. She felt Vrine clinging to her stomach, she hoped that they would not find him. It would break her heart if they took him from her. She could only imagine how cruel they would be to him.

Brishen brought his neck back and forth cracking it. "You should watch what you say," he hissed at Rhyldrin. "I can very easily take your life. It would be very easy to bring my blade across your throat." he patted the blade that rested on his right side. "Maybe I will do that to my sister first, you can watch her die." Brishen spoke as if he were bored. "She had caused quite some trouble for me and I'm not too sure if she can be trusted anymore." he threw back his shoulders shrugging. "I'm sure that the others will understand it if I say that she was a traitor." Ulric seemed uncomfortable with that idea. "That would be a waste," he said and looked at Judith. "I can imagine much more interesting things that can be done with her." Brishen looked at him. "I already dismissed your suggestion earlier, Uldric." he barked. Ulric's eyes met his and for a moment the room fell silent. It seemed as if they were about to kill each other. They obviously didn't agree on some things. Uldric broke the eye contact. "That's a pity." he mumbled.

Judith's skinned crawled at what Uldric could be suggesting. Though she assumed that it wasn't nice things. Uldric had been a womaniser ever since he discovered the opposite sex. He had been friends with Brishen ever since they were little and Judith had dealt with his comments when she was young. Once when she was practising behind her home he had approached her. Judith was seventeen at the time. When she turned to take another arrow from her pouch Uldric stood near her holding it in his hand. He swung it back and forth, his eyes looking in to her own. He smiled and when he spoke she felt nervous. "Practising, Judith?" he asked and stepped closer to her. "I can think of much better things for you to do right now." then he had grabbed her wrist bringing her body against his. He threatened to hurt her if she screamed so she stayed silent. "I've been keeping an eye on you," he mumbled his face very close to hers. "You know that everyone is jealous of you. You're beautiful and every man wants you. Including me." his breath was hot against her face. "Stop, Uldric." he laughed at what she had said. "I know that deep down you want this too," he hissed. "I said stop," she attempted to pull herself away from him but he tightened his grip. "I'll hurt you if you don't let go of me," Judith's voice shook as she threatened him. "What are you going to do?" he teased. As their lips almost touched she brought her head back then slammed it against his. "You little bitch!" he roared. Her free hand dove in to the pouch of arrows and she stabbed him in the side he let go of her as he felt sudden pain. Judith had fled from him and told her father, Uldric was punished for what he had done but it didn't change what he wanted. He still wanted her and every time Judith caught him looking at her it sent chills down her spin. Now he was trying to convince her brother to give her to him as a toy. It made her sick to think about what would happen if Brishen allowed it.

Judith looked at Uldric, his eyes were filled with an unsatisfied hunger. "If you touch me then I will break your hand," she hissed at him. Brishen raised an eyebrow at his sister surprised at her sudden comment. He had never seen this side of Judith, she wasn't the one to make threats. "Watch it," he barked. "If you don't behave then maybe Uldric can have you." Judith looked at her brother, what was he thinking? He had threatened to kill her and now he was threatening to give her to Uldric. Perhaps death didn't seem that bad after all. It was better than becoming Uldric's pet. Though maybe if she had an excuse to hurt one of them then she could flee. Judith had not gotten in trouble for hurting Uldric those years ago, if she was threatened by either then she could do anything to defend herself. She would ever bring a blade to her brother's flesh if needed. He didn't seem to care for her so why should she care for him? He only saw her as a nuisance.

Brishen cleared his throat and brought his attention back to the Dark Elf. "Now," he paused for a moment and brought his sword out from where it slept. "I'm thinking of taking care of you now, considering what happened last time." he tilted his head as he observed Rhyldrin curiously. "Maybe I'll cut you up and let you bleed out." he smiled.
