Robin's steps were light and carefree as she now led the way. We're almost there! She thought excitedly. After all that they'd been through, they were actually going to succeed!
But after only a few moments, she realized that she should have been paying closer attention to her surroundings. She ran right into what she thought to be a wall, but when she looked up, she discovered a huge man with a wide, barreled chest looking down at her. Then she saw the spear that he held in his hand.
"Uh--" She said.
"Robin?" Daniel was just behind her, and skidded to a stop when he saw the man. Daniel grabbed her arm, thrusting her behind him, as the spear swept upwards, intending to disembowel his companion.
Robin was drawing her blade, but Daniel knew that it was too small to be effective against a spear. If they'd been able to sneak up behind him, that would have been fine. But to have run into him?
The man thrust the spear at Daniel, who literally threw Robin out of the way, and managed to dodge just in the nick of time. He knew that somehow he had to disarm the guard, but didn't have the faintest idea how he was going to do it.
The head of the spear swooped down in an ark, nearly causing Daniel to lose his balance. As intent as he was on the guard, he didn't see Robin grab a torch off the wall. She brandished the torch like a sword as she thrust the flame into the guard's face. Blinded, he yelped, almost dropping his spear. With her free hand, Robin pushed the blade into his stomach to the hilt, watching in satisfaction as he dropped to the ground. His hand pressed against his stomach, the guard spasmed once, then was still.
Clearly without remorse, Robin spat on his corpse, and kicked the spear. "Pick that up." She ordered Daniel. "Without a weapon, you're useless."
He stared at her, appalled by the murderer she was becoming. He was afraid that she was no longer the friend that he'd known since childhood.
