One thought ran through Rain's mind at that statement. [i]You have got to be kidding me![/i] Who in their right mind would be willing to stay near a monster like that? It just possessed that woman! Who knows what it's capable of. She didn't care to hide her expression, making it quite clear that she thought she was crazy. Then there was the girl going to towards the singing and whatever that was only could be insane too. This whole place was insane, even the ogre!

Rose introduced herself, at least someone seemed to have their marbles all in one place. She then pointed out towards some vines.

[quote]"Well, that certainly looks like our best bet." She said, gesturing towards the vines."Last one downs ogre food?" She said with a playful smile. "We better be quick about it."[/quote]

"Right now, I'll take a best bet any day," Rain commented as she started climbing down the vines.

Suddenly the ogre rushed towards them at a crazy speed. How on earth was something so huge so fast? It lunged at her trying to grab her, but reflexively she kicked at the wall to push herself away from the monster's grasp. She had managed to slip out of its grasp, but she felt the vine she held onto snap and let out a breath in surprise as she fell the remaining distance to the mud with a loud slap. She laid there stunned a few moments while the ogre stupidly looked at its palm with a dumb expression on its face.

An idea popped into her head and she started covering herself in mud and then she started crawling away from the dumb giant. Hopefully, Rose would take after her example and disguise herself too. Maybe it would think that it had literally crushed her into nothing. That would be great. She headed towards the front of the stone towards the drawbridge. She was unaware of the fact that it had finally recovered enough to grab at Rose.
