Chapter+5

As all of them walked into the large town there where many things to look at, the houses had different colors and sizes. People where dressed different on every block, which made Spencer, James, Joseph, Vaughn, and Victor look like freaks they were huge compared and dressed in bland clothes that were dirty and smelled BAD! They received numerous stares and giggles. Spencer was annoyed. “We are not in a museum or a joker, why are they staring at us?!” Exclaimed Spencer. “We are not the average kind they have around here, just relax ignore them and please you are turning that red color again,” said James with a slight giggle. “You think you do not care, but you do once we see the king and request housing for the night you will be begging to leave,” Spencer muttered under his breath just loud enough for James to hear, but no one else. Vaughn and Victor are still mourning the death of their brother, Vincent; they were not paying attention to the argument going on. Joseph, on the other hand, was annoyed, not with the stares, but with the arguing. They had been disagreeing ever since we walked in the town. Joseph then shouted out, “Can you two shut up! You have been at each other’s throats; you might as well be worst enemies instead of brothers. You have no idea what you have!” Screamed Joseph. The look on Spencer’s and James’s face where in shock they did not think about how annoying they really were. “Sorry,” they said in a shocked not really apologetic tone. “Just try to get a long for a little while, please,” thanks to him it was a quiet walk to the castle, if that is what you want to call it. The Castle was no bigger than the biggest shack in Nazarath. They walked in and saw a big huge dwarf in a too small of a chair eating on five different meals at a time. “Excuse me,” said James in a polite voice. “Just a minute, let me finish this meal,” the king said with his mouth full. James knew that would take to long he had a huge table full of food still left to eat, so he tried again. “Sir, I am the Prince of Nazarath my friends and I…” he was cut off. “I am eating you fool shut your trap and let me finish!” Shouted the annoyed king. “But sir...” “Are you deaf?! I said shut your trap, now do as I say!” He yelled. “Sir, please,” begged James. “Squire, escort these rebels out of my castle before they are banished from my town!” The squire escorted them out of the castle. “Now do not come back till the king is done eating,” said the squire as he kicked the out. “What an arrogant, tyrant, and stupid king. He is not fit to rule!” Exclaimed Joseph. “Joseph! That is not the attitude I want on this expedition, we will find another way to find shelter,” said James in an outraged attitude. He, James, had no idea what they were going to do. Then they ran into their dwarf friend, Russell. “Hey, Russell, do you have any extra space to spare for us at your place?” “Maybe, but my mom is in enough trouble as it is, but I do have a friend who runs the local barn, you could go there. Follow me, before my mom finds out I am out of the house,” said Russell as he ran off. “Wait, Russell, your mom does not know you are out of the house!?” Spencer yelled as they ran after him. Then they all ran into a very familiar person, the squire. “What are you guys doing following this young man?” Asked the squire. “He said he could find us a place to stay,” said James. “Son is this true?” “Yes, father,” confessed Russell. No one could believe that Russell’s dad was the squire. “Wait, you are his father,” said Spencer in complete shock. “Yes, is that an issue? Son was you taking them to the king’s barn?” Asked the squire. “Ya, I was taking them to the barn I figured you could just sneak them past that oaf of a king, that was it, isn’t that easy for you,” “Does your mother know you are here, Russell,” asked the squire. “No, but I figured it would only take a minute or two,” “Go home right now, I will talk to your mother later about this, as for you five, you can stay in our house just for the night, but in the mourning you must leave,” “Yes, sir, thank you so much,” exclaimed Joseph. “You rock dad!” Exclaimed Russell. “Thanks just stop running off and go home with these gentlemen to our house and stay there, got it?” “Sure dad thanks. Hurry up guys, my house is pretty far, and if we want to get there on time we must run like orks,” just then Russell ran into the biggest dwarf in the town, 8.5 feet tall, Rolly Higgins. “Hey, short stuff,” said Rolly. “H…eeee…yyy, Rolly,” said Russell in an unconfident voice. “Hey, Russell where did you go?” Yelled an out of breath Spencer. “Hey, guys this is Rolly the biggest dwarf in our town,” said Russell. “Who are there?” Shouted Rolly in a booming voice. “Hey Russell why are you in this dark alley all alone?” “Why don’t ya ask Rolly,” Shouted Russell, he heard them coming laughing and talking. Russell was hoping his new friends would save him from this bully. “Hey, Rolly what are doing with Russell?” Yelled Spencer. “I am planning on rearranging his face to look better than it is now,” said Rolly with a devious look on his face. “Why not put him down and talk to us?” Exclaimed Spencer. “Why, no one can stop me?” asked Rolly. “Think again!” Yelled Spencer getting into battle formation. “No, Spencer, this is Russell’s fight, he must learn to protect himself,” explained James. “NO, it is fine if you help me, we can learn life lessons later,” begged Russell. “James is right, Russell, you need to learn your lesson now,” agreed Spencer. “Nice friends you got there short stuff, ready for your make over Russell?” Asked Rolly. “No, not really,” said Russell in an uneasy tone of voice. “Well, you better get ready,” said Rolly with a smirk on his face. Just then, something changed in Russell, he realized no one was going to save, he was on his own. Just then Russell Jumped out of Rolly’s hands and on to a clothes line. He pulled on it and the heavy objects fell right on giant Rolly, Rolly was knocked unconscious and Russell and the five of them ran to Russell’s house. By the time they got to Russell’s house his father was there, talking to his mother about his consequence, and the promise to help James, Spencer, Joseph, Vaughn, and Victor for the night. “Hey, mom, we are home!” Yelled Russell. “Russell! You are in sooooooooooo much trouble young man, your father told me everything that happened and you are grounded for, for….. A very long time upstairs with you!” “Hey, mom did dad tell you about his promise, bye,” Russell said as he ran up the stairs. “What promise?” Asked Russell’s mom, Veronica. “Veronica, I helped some travelers the king would not they are staying here for the night,” explained Russell’s dad, Lionnel. “Lionnel, we cannot harbor illegals! What were you thinking?” “That the king will never find out!” Suggested Lionnel. “You are crazy!” “It is too late now, they are coming just tonight, please?” “Fine, but I am not feeding them!” “Come on inside, just hurry!” Yelled Lionnel. “Yes sir,” they all said in unison. They ran inside, and each found a place to sleep. They woke up and got ready to leave when a knock came on the door, everyone froze, then the five of them hid where ever they could, most ran upstairs. “Hello?” Said Lionnel. “We are the police, we have reason to believe you are harboring illegal’s, we are going to come in and search your house top to bottom,” exclaimed a medium sized dwarf. “Sure come right in,” Lionnel slowly opened the door while Russell ran upstairs to get James, Spencer, Joseph, Vaughn, and Victor out of there quickly. “Go out the window and North as north as you can get we shall hold them off, HURRY!” He shoved them out the window once they hit the ground they went running as far as they could until they knew they were safe. “We are sooooooooooo lucky!” Exclaimed Joseph out of breath. “You…got…that…right!” Exclaimed Spencer also out of breath. They made camp where they stood setting up a fire, beds, and who had first watch they were sure that the police were still on their tail so someone always was up, that is until at one in the morning when it was Joseph’s watch and dozed off, that is when they attacked. The orks were all around them ready to dine, they were in huge trouble. “Do not kill them, I want to have them captured and tied up before any of them wake up, got it you idiots?” Explained the Ork king. “Yes sir,” they all said in loud voices, which got them the evilest look in the world that is when all five of them woke up and ran for their lives.
