“Ogres?!” She squeaked as she ducked down even though they wouldn’t notice her if she was quiet.
“Okay, try not to get smooshed!” She said in a hushed tone before slipping off the log and went to find somewhere to hide.

The Witch didn’t get very far, a whooshing sound hit her ears coming from behind her and she barely had time to dodge a javelin, she watched it with wide eyes as it zoomed past her head and it the ground a few feet away.
“Wow… that was a close one! Ha!” she said shocked.
She went off running now. “But you missed- AHHHHHHH!” she yelled.
She had ran right into netting that had sprung up from the ground in front of her, it wrapped around her making her fall to the ground.

From her hiding place, within a thick leaved bush, Thumbelina felt the ground tremor as the woman fell. With wide eyes she peaked out of the shrub. She saw the javelin sticking out of the ground not too far from where the woman was ensnared. Not for the first time she wished she could have been born a ‘big person’. She hated feeling helpless; a feeling she encountered far too often.

The net was hoisted up into the air by at least 6 feet, it seems that a few of the Ogres had already been setting this up before she even got their, two of them came out of the trees holding onto rope that was connected to the net she was in, then more came out of the trees.
They were all at least 9 feet tall, had thick hide covered in dark warty bumps and was wearing smelly skins, their hair was long, unkept and greasy… there looked to be 8 of them, at least what she could see…
The Witch didn’t even struggle with the net she was in, instead she just looked around at all the Ogres, everyone of them either had a Javelin or a Greatclub in their ugly hand.
They were all yelling triumph and grunting, some were even growling at het, they were not the brightest creature in this land obviously… though when they wanted to they could form words… if you can call it that…

She watched silently as the reeking creatures hoisted the woman high in the air. At that moment she wanted to come up with something fiendishly clever to free her and save the day.
Had she tried anything she would surely just get stepped upon. If only she could climb the tree then she might be able to cut the rope. Alas it would take her hours to climb the tree, if she could do it at all, and then how would she cut the rope once there?
Thumbelina sat and nibbled her lower lip.

“Congratulations, you seem to have caught me,” the witch said to the Ogres coldly.
All the javelins were pointing at her, occasionally poking her. “Stop that!”
“We haf gotcha! Yo’ kin not git away!” one of the Ogres spoke.
“Yo’ kin not helter-skelter ennymo’e!” said another.
“Stoopid wimmen tried t'steal fum us! An' thunk she c'd jest git away!” said another Ogre.
“Return th' weapon yo' haf stolen an' yo' death will be quick!” the first Ogre said, and he poked me with his javelin.
“I’m sorry… I don’t speak nor understand stupid…” the witch said to them.

Thumbelina stared at the scene. The ogres were… talking, not very well but still. The sound was loud and hurt her tiny ears. It sounded like they gargled sharp implements for fun! For a moment she wondered what was so important that a person would steal from them but then decided to ask later… if they weren’t smooshed or captured.

“For one thing it belongs to ME! You just happened to have found it when I lost it! And for another, I said STOP poking me with those javelins!” she yelled at them in annoyance.
A few of the ogres laughed menacingly at the witch’s displeasure, one of them tried poking her again but this time she reached her arm out of one of the netting holes and grabbed onto the javelin, it instantly went up in flames burning the ogres hands making him drop it and yell in anger and pain.
All the others yelled in anger as well and were about to pierce her or pummel her with their weapons but just before any connected to the witch she disappeared… though it was more like her body became part of the wind and just dissolved into it, the net became limp like it held nothing anymore, all the ogres looked dumfounded, they looked at the netting wondering what had happened.

Their laughs were deep and gravelly and echoed through her tiny head. She tried to cover her eyes but it helped little. Until they stopped laughing. When the javelin went up in flames and the woman disappeared into the wind. All was silent.
“Oh.” Thumbelina said surprised and unsure how else to react. “She was a witch then.”

The witch formed back a ways away from the ogres and took something from under her cloak behind her back, it was a whip, but it was not any that you have ever seen before, it was steel and the top was a shaft like that of a sword and the bottom whip par had spikes on it, the end had a small hook.
The ogres growled and roared in anger once they saw her and then even more once they saw the weapon in my hand.
“If you want this… you going to have to come any take it out of my dead hands, my ugly friends” the witch said while grinning and flicking her whip once, it made a load crack.

She stared dumbfounded at the group. Thumbelina had never seen any sort of magic before and the sudden reappearance of the mysterious woman with the whip was incredible. She guessed that it was what she had stolen from the ogres by their reaction to her using it.
It was truly fascinating for the tiny creature to watch.

The Ogers didn’t waist any time in trying to do just as the witch had said, one came at her with its greatclub at the ready, it swung and the witch ducked under it, just as another ogre through its Javilin to the witch, missing her and hitting the ogre with the club in its chest, it hit the ground with a thud and the ground shook, the witch rapped her whip around the lags of the other ogre and whipped it off its feet making it fall hard on the ground, making anything that was not connected to the ground pounce, including the witch, she whipped the ogre into the air and swung out around her like it was a rag doll hitting at least three of the other ogres that were in its way, making them fly back from the hit and making the ground shake again every time the Hit the ground, the witch through the ogre high up into the air and let it go, it flew over the trees and out of sight but there came a loud thud and the ground shook again.
“Two down… 5 to go…” the witch said with wicked smile, she then beckoned the rest to her.

Thumbelina clutched the shrub as the ground shook due to the ogre. The quake caused her to loose grip and she fell with a thud into the dry leaves below. With a groan she sat up and rubbed her head.
“Let’s not do that again.” She said to herself.

The Witch dogged swings of clubs and flying javelins, one great club was thrown in the mists of them and she almost didn’t see it, just in time she became air like before and it went right through her landing Very close to Thumbelina, the Witch quickly turned around to make sure it didn’t land ON the little women.
“Watch where your throwing th-!” she started to yell but one of the Ogre’s had grabbed her from behind caging her in his arms, making her unable to move her arms, her feet were far off the ground and she struggled with the ogre.
The strength of the ogre was crushing, she could barely move her arms and it was not enough for her to use her whip, another ogre was going to skewer her with its javelin but the witch did what she did before by making herself become air again making the javelin go through her self and hit the ogre that was holding her, she fell to the ground and then shot a fire blast at the other ogre and it literally went up in flames.
“And then there were three…” she said as she quickly got up ready for the next one to take her on.

Bushing herself off she stood just before the witched fell close to her causing the small woman to fall again. With a small squeak she looked over at the woman and was shocked to see the javelin go straight through her into the ogre that had been grappling her. From the shrub beside her she pulled of a huge, for her, thorn in case she one got close enough for her to at least distract one for the witch. Quietly she moved through the plants until she was quite close to one of the large smelly creatures. He took a step towards the ‘big’ woman without seeing Thumbelina. She darted out and plunged the thorn into one of its huge grubby toes before she hurried back to the cover of a nearby shrub.
