Snippet #10408

A plume of violet smoke enshrouded the entire area as Shiek silently moved behind the man who had stepped on a branch. Lunging forward, she raised a needle to his throat and whispered to him from behind her ragged scarf. "Don't move." she ordered, loud enough for only him to hear. There were two others in the area.. a girl who seemed to be a pokemon trainer and another man who wielded a blade of some sort.

The hazy fog Shiek had created made it nearly impossible for others to see anything in front of them. Although the princess was completely safe within the misty boundaries, her haze would soon fade away, rendering her defenseless. Knowing this, Shiek grabbed the man's neck and hulled him backwards, inching away slowly from the scene and into the quiet safety of the woods. Her weapon was touching his neck at all times.

Hidden behind a tree, far beyond the perimeter of the mist, she released her strangling grip on his neck and collapsed against the trunk. The stranger was heavier than he appeared to be.
