Judith didn't even need to scream at her children to come inside of the house. She leaned down and they ran into her arms for safety. Judith let out a heavy breath when their bodies collided with hers, she wrapped her arms around them tightly then disappeared into the house. "Hide under your beds and don't come out until I come back or one of the others," she whispered to them. Judith kissed both of them on the forehead quickly then hurried them into their room. "Please Sophie, listen to me this time. I wouldn't know what to do if I loss you or your brother." she said, Judith watched for a moment making sure that they hid then she closed their bedroom door behind it.

It was an odd feeling that overcame Judith and what she was thinking was a little bit silly. She walked to her room and began to change into something more proper for fighting. She would only trip over herself wearing this damn dress. Judith slipped on a pair of trousers, they hung from her waist. Then she slipped on an almost over-sized blouse. She slipped her feet into a pair of boots and quickly tired them up then grabbed her bow. What am I thinking? she let out a heavy sigh. It's been so long since I used the damn thing. She almost looked at her bow as if it were a foreign object. She wrapped a belt around her waist and hung her pouch of arrows on it. As she stepped outside she tied her hair up into a messy bun.

"I'll help as much as I can," she said and smiled at Abel. "I may be a bit rusty but I started training with the bow with I was ten." Judith had continued training for a bit but after she had Sophie and Vaden she stopped. She had used it a few times for fun afterwards but she had not trained seriously for five years. Judith stepped down from the porch and examined the creature. She had seen other things in the forest before but nothing quite like this. "What is that thing?" she asked and looked back at Abel.
