That Time I Got Reincarnated Into A Goblin Girl Chapter 10

“They’re here!” My uncle yelled.

“Ahhhhh!”

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

“Please! Don’t!”

“Kill them all! Leave no filthy goblin left alive!”

I could hear the shouts and screams of both goblins and humans roaring throughout the area.

“Alright girls the game has started, so you two go to my room and I’ll finish getting Illya ready,” my mother said, leading the two scared and confused girls to her room.

“You should have had them already by now,” my uncle said to her.

“I tried, but Illya doesn’t want to cooperate, it’s as if she knows that something is strange about all of this,” my mother said to my surprise. Did she actually realize that I could understand them?

“She is a child,” my uncle said. if she doesn’t want to cooperate then we make her. I didn’t inform those knights of this location just to let her die,” he said looming over me.

“I’m sorry little one but this is for your own good,” he said, shoving the bottle into my mouth and forcing me to drink it.

“Ack! Ack!” I coughed up a bit of it, but he did manage to make me drink it. I saw my hand turn a pale white and then I saw strands of my hair turn platinum blond.

“It’s okay sweety, just breath,” my mother said to me. Through the window behind her, I could see a blazing inferno of rage. The humans were burning the village down.

“You better take her back with the other two,” my uncle said to her. “I’ll lead them here.”

“Thank you,” my mother said, turning her back to him. I could see her start to tear up, and so did I because I knew that would never see him again.

My uncle left the house, and my mother carried me into the room where Sola and Tully were holding each other with tears rolling down their cheeks. I was certain that they realized that this wasn’t a game.

“Wh-what’s happening?” Sola asked, sounding more afraid than I have ever heard her before

“You girls are going to go on a trip,” my mother said, handing me to Tully. “Those knights in shining armor are here to whisk you away to a new happier life away from this awful village.”

“And what about you?” Sola asked her.

“I’m afraid that I’m too old to come along with you. They won’t let me join you three,” my mother said to us, making me start to cry. “There, there, it’s alright,” she said wiping the tears from each of our eyes.

“You three are the strongest girls that I know, and I know that as long as the three of you stay together, you’ll be just fine. I know that it is selfish of me to ask, but I do hope that you two take care of Illya in my stead, you two are the closest thing that she has to sisters. She would be lost without you. Can I trust you with that task?”

The two of them nodded their heads as Tully held me closer to her chest. Her heart was beating as fast as a racehorse, but she still tried to comfort me.

“Such good girls,” my mother said to them, taking out a bag and putting the remaining potion and eye drops in it. “In order to make sure that no one knows what you are you three must drink this potion once per year. There should be enough for three years. As for the two of you need to take to eye drops once every month. Each vile has ten uses and I have prepared eight of them. It is a common potion, so when you two are older you’ll have to work for it.”

“When they come for you, you are not to say a word about being a goblin of any kind. You three are children of the elves which were stolen by the goblins recently. You don’t know why we wanted you. Do you girls understand? She asked handing the bag to Sola.

Tully and Sola nodded their heads, and my mother smiled at them.

“Very good,” she said to them. “Be sure to use your language classes to your advantage and never speak in goblin tongue ever again. And remember you must keep Illya away from-”

“SIR THERE HE IS!” I heard a human soldier yell out cutting my mother off from what she was about to say.

“You filthy fucking goblin!” I heard an older-sounding man shout. “You sold out your kind and you still dare come back here! What is so important in that house? What are you trying to hide?”

“Argghhhhhh!” I heard my uncle shout out and then there was nothing.

“What a waste, he was willing to die, rather than tell else what is in there. No matter, men search the house!”

Dead? My uncle was…dead? No…it couldn’t be, right?

“You girls stay here,” my mother said, leaving the room. I tried to grab her hand, but I was helpless. I couldn’t do anything.

SLAM!

I heard the door get smashed open as several heavy footsteps stormed in.

“Oh, would you look at this, a hybrid,” I heard one of the other soldiers say from the other side? “I haven’t seen one of these in years. I wonder if the commander would mind if we had our way with her?”

“Eww gross,” another soldier said. “Who would ever want to sleep with a goblin, hybrid or not? Besides look at that face she’s giving you; she looks like she wants to rip it off.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” the first soldier said back to him. “Touching that kind of filth isn’t worth it, besides I do believe that we’re still taking score,” he said arrogantly, and then the next thing I knew there was a giant thud, and a sword covered in blood pierced the door!

No, no, no! It couldn’t be! She had to be alright she just had to!

“Hah! She went out without a fight,” the first soldier said.

“No fair, you cheated,” the second soldier said back to him. They were talking as if my mother’s and uncle's deaths were just a game to them!

“Hey, you snooze you lose,” the first soldier said. “Now let’s check what she was hiding behind this,” he said pulling the door open. I couldn’t see my mother's body, but I could see the streak of blood on the ground as they opened the door!

“Wahhhhhhhhhh!Wahhhhhhh!Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!” I couldn’t stop crying and screaming knowing that these monsters killed my mother like she was nothing! I wanted to kill them I wanted them dead!

“Ugh, it’s just a bunch of goblin brats,” the first soldier said, ignoring my cries. “We should just kill them and get it over with.”

“Are you sure that those three are goblins?” the second soldier asked the first. “None of them have green skin or pitch-black eyes.”

“Did you not just see the hybrid in front of the door?” the first soldier said to the second. “These are obviously her children. They need to die just like the rest,” he said drawing his sword.

“Wait!” Sola yelled at the soldiers in their human tongues to their surprise. “We elves! We elves! No, kill!” the grammar wasn’t that good, but elves also had their own tongue, so this was more than enough to make them question what we were.

“See, I told you they weren’t goblins,” the second soldier said to him. “They’re elves.”

“Just because they’re saying that does not make it true- would you two shut that brat up, or I will drive my sword right threw her face!” he yelled at Sola and Tully as I continued crying.

“W-we try, she upset,” Tully said back to them.

“Well try harder damnit or maybe we’ll just kill you like the goblins that you are!” the first soldier yelled at Tully. He was drunk on killing and it didn’t matter to him if we were goblins or not.

“What is all of the commotion?” the same older-sounding male said, walking through the door. Just like the men before us he wore a helmet coving his face, making me see them only as the monsters that killed my family! “It should not take you two this long to search such a small house. Explain.”

“Wahhhhh! Wahhhh! Wahhhh!” I cried, even more, when I saw him walk in because I knew that he would kill the three of us without hesitation.

“Sir we found a hybrid goblin woman guarding this room and we discovered these three children that claim to be elves,” the second soldier said to him.

“And that little brat won’t shut up!” the first soldier said yelling at me, which only made me cry louder. “I bet you that they are all goblins just pretending to be elves. Let’s just kill them already.

“You dare order me around?” the older-sounding man said to him, in a manner that made me feel uneasy.

“Na-no sir, I-I didn’t mean it that way, I-”

“Quiet,” the older-sounding man who seemed to be the commander that they were talking about earlier said, shutting him up with a single word. “You go regroup with the others,” he said to the first soldier. “I will deal with your disobedience later. Only a savage would get drunk off the killing of another species.”

“But sir I-”

“Now!” he said, and the man did as he was told leaving my house. “As for you three, I am sorry that my subordinate caused you such trouble,” he said in a gentler tone for some reason I didn’t understand.

“It is clear that you three are no goblins, just unfortunate souls that were taken by those filthy goblins. Though unfortunately, he was right about one thing, that girl crying is a bit much, would you mind?” he asked holding out his hands to take me.

“Wahhhhh! Wahhhh! Wahhhhhh! Wahhhhh!” I cried even louder afraid that he would crush me with his giant hands. Tully and Sola took a few steps back out of fear as well. There was no way that we could trust someone that lead the charge against our entire village.

“Oh, I must look a tad bit intimidating like this don’t I?” he said, taking off his helmet to reveal the face of a man in his late fifties which an already greyed beard. For some reason, he reminded me of a kind and doting grandfather.

“See, I’m just a simple old man here, I promise that I won’t harm her. I had a daughter that was her age once so I’m quite used to calming children down,” he said once again holding his arms out. I didn’t want to be held by the man that ordered my uncle and mother to be killed, though it would seem that the gesture of goodwill and intimidation tactic from before convinced them to hand me over to him.

“You no hurt or you pay!” Sola yelled at him, but in response to that, he just chuckled.

“Hehehe, what energetic young girls you are,” he said as he held me in his arms. Though even as he did, I still did not stop crying. “And you must be the most energetic of them all. I’m sure that your mother is happy to know that you are safe now,” he said to me. “She must have been pleased to have such a strong-willed child such as yourself.”

As he held me in his arms the cold metal from his armor that touched my skin started to become warmer, in fact, it started to comfort me. As I listened to him telling me how much mother was lucky to have me my crying started to slow down. The truth was that she wasn’t lucky to have me, but I was lucky to have her.”

“There, there, it’s alright now,” he said to me in a soothing voice that reminded me of her.

“Now girls, let’s say we get you out of here,” he said prompting the second soldier to guide Sola and Tully out of the house. They did as they were asked, and I saw that Sola tightly hung onto the bag my mother gave her.

“Alright let’s get you out of here as well,” he said covering my eyes as we left the room making me unable to see the corpses of my mother and uncle. I guess that his kind nature wouldn’t allow a baby to see the corpse of another creature.
