“I noticed she’s had plenty of time to talk to you,” Hellboy grumbles as they start to walk back down the hill to the encampment.

“She needed a friend to talk to,” Abe replies with an elegant shrug despite the respirator around his neck. “She’s very distraught. Your words hurt her deeply, Red. You should talk to her.”

“So what am I supposed to do?” Hellboy demands. “She won’t let me get near her. Every time I do get close, she just takes off. She won’t even look at me.”

“You could start by apologizing,” Abe suggests as he picks up a long stick.

“For what?” Hellboy asks the merman in surprise.

“For your callous behavior,” Abe reminds the demon. “For your lack of sensitivity. Would you like me to go on?”

“No,” Hellboy growls.

“While I can’t say I know exactly what you’re going through,” Abe says as they near the camp. “I do know that Liz is very hurt and sad that you wouldn’t take her fears into consideration.”

“What does she have to be afraid of?” Hellboy asks, stunned.

“You,” Abe answers as they walk past the first tent. “And please don’t ask me to explain that further.”

Hellboy stops and watches Abe as the merman continues towards the center of the camp. He hears Blue send out a silent call for everyone to join him at the fire. Still perplexed, Hellboy finishes his journey into the middle of camp and takes a seat across the fire from Liz.

He sits there staring at her, barely hearing Abe’s debriefing at first. Instead he hears a voice that he’s been trying to ignore for over a month and a half. A voice that lives inside his head has been insisting that he just take Liz, make her his by force if necessary. It’s the voice of Anung un Rama.

“I have found the creatures we’ve been looking for,” Abe starts, startling Hellboy out of his reverie. “It’s as I feared, we’re dealing with trolls. While trolls can be hurt, the only way to kill them is for them to be caught out of their den when the sun rises. Since that’s not due to happen for another few hours and the sun will only be up for about an hour, our task will be a difficult one and must be perfectly timed. They’re located with the missing children in a series of caves just over the hill behind us. The children seem fine from what I could tell through the mountain, but there are more than we expected. I counted at least thirty-four heart beats, not the twenty-three that we originally were led to believe.”

“How many trolls are there?” an agent in the back questions.

“I was not able to ascertain that,” Abe replies.

“In English,” Hellboy snarls.

“I don’t know,” Abe responds.

“So how do we get rid of the trolls?” John asks.

“With this,” Hellboy answers while patting the Samaritan.

“As I stated before, they cannot be killed by anything but sunlight,” Abe reminds the demon. “We’ll have to chase them out of the caves and keep them out until the sun comes up. As I stated before, this will not an easy task. However, they do feel pain and they hate being burned by fire. That being the case, Liz, you’ll be the one in the forefront of this operation. Now, there were only a few trolls in the chamber with the children when I was there and the children seemed to be sleeping. This actually makes our job easier since we won’t have to worry about the children being under foot when we go in.”

Abe takes the stick he picked up earlier and starts to draw a map of the caves in the tramped down snow and mud under his feet. For the next hour or so they plan their attack and gear up. Once they’re ready, they start trooping up the hill on foot since it’s not possible for cars to go any farther up the mountain.

It takes them about another hour before they reach the entrance to the cave. After checking the occupants of the cave with a wave of his webbed hand, Abe sends out a silent command and Liz and Hellboy lead half a dozen agents carrying flame throwers into the cave. The rest of the agents and Abe are stationed outside the cave entrance on either side of the opening to prevent any of the trolls from going back inside.

Once through the opening in the side of the mountain, they enter a small chamber with three corridors leading off of it. They know the one on the right houses a herd of goats presumably for their milk and meat, the one to the left leads to the children and the one in the center leads to the main living area with a sleeping chamber on the far side of that for the trolls. One agent takes up his position outside the goat’s den to keep any of the trolls from hiding in there after a quick check to make sure there’s only livestock in the cave while Hellboy and John head to the left and Liz leads the last four agents into the heart of the mountain.

Hellboy and John step through the entrance of the cavern and are confronted by three rather lumpy looking beings. The tallest of them still misses the five foot mark by several inches and they have thick torsos, legs and arms and abnormally large hands and feet that have nails in desperate need of a manicurist. Their heads seem a bit small for their body size and their noses are long bulbous things that look like someone welded potatoes to their faces. A crown of gray lanky hair sits on top of their heads and their bodies are covered by thick matted fur. Their color is a mixture of browns, grays and greens and the only clothes they are wearing are shorts that are only being held up with one strap that loops over one shoulder. These three are obviously females since they have breasts that hang down like a pair of old tube socks filled with wet sand from their chests. The sight of these things makes John and Hellboy’s dicks shrink to the size of kumquats as their balls crawl north, threatening to become internal organs.

Hellboy does a quickly look around and sees the babies are all sleeping together on a bunch of pelts in the center of the room. From the smell of the place either the kids or the pelts need a good airing out at least. From what little Hellboy knows about babies, he’d say they seem ok. None of them look starved and in fact, if anything, they look like they might be a bit too big. After determining that the kids are fine, he turns his attention back to the trolls who are looking at him curiously with beady looking eyes. They completely ignore John and his flame thrower.

“Ok, um, ‘ladies,’ the party’s over,” Hellboy announces. “It’s time to leave.”

“Vad sa du??” one of the trolls asks.

“Care to run that by me again?” Hellboy demands.

The trolls look at each other in confusion and start speaking to each other quietly and quickly.

“Um, Red?” John softly calls, catching his partner’s attention. “I don’t think they speak English.”

“Think so?” Red questions before turning back to the trolls. “HEY! Any of you speakaze de Englaze?”

“I don’t think they speak Spanish either, HB,” John points out. “They’re probably speaking some Scandinavian dialect.”

“Well, that’s just great,” Hellboy gripes. “Now how do we get them out of here?”

“You can always do what you do best,” John suggests.

“Oh, yeah,” Hellboy practically purrs as a grin stretches his lips. “The direct approach, I like it. Good idea, squirt.”

“You’re welcome,” John replies with a small shake of his head as he starts to maneuver himself between the trolls and the children.

Hellboy steps up to the cluster of trolls who are still talking amongst themselves. They ignore the large red demon which suits him just fine as he grabs the biggest with his right hand, the middle one with his left and the smallest one gets a tail wrapped around her fat ankle just before she’s yanked off of her feet. Once he’s got a firm grip on all of them, he heads for the exit, ignoring the screaming, yelling, hitting, kicking and biting.

The biggest one finds out really quickly that The Right Hand of Doom is impervious to troll teeth as she breaks a couple of the few remaining teeth she has on it. As they start to go through the opening in the wall, the two trolls still on their feet grab for the edge and hold on as Hellboy attempts to pull them out. A couple quick blasts from John’s flame thrower causes howls of pain but it also makes them let go. The one being dragged along behind the others has her nails scraping through the dirt as Hellboy continues his trek out of the caverns.

John stops and stands guard at the nursery as the agent across from him watches Hellboy leave with his ‘prizes,’ a blank look on the man’s face. Without even a shrug, the other agent goes back to watching for trolls coming out of the main chamber even as Hellboy has to struggle a bit to get his trolls outside once they figure out where they’re being taken. The fight is brief but loud and in a matter of moments Hellboy is back out in the fresh, cold air with the trolls.

Once he’s outside, Hellboy continues down the hill a bit where he’s met by agents that have ropes tied to very sturdy trees. Hellboy keeps a hold on the females as the agents tie them to the tree, making sure that they’re facing south-east. Once that’s accomplished, Hellboy heads back towards the caves to see if Liz needs any help. Just as he reaches the entrance he’s all but trampled by trolls and agents as they run for their lives. Then Hellboy feels the unmistakable heat of Liz’s fire.

While Hellboy leads John into the nursery to deal with their trio of trouble, Liz leads the remaining four agents into the main chamber. When they step into the large cavern the first thing that hits them is the smell. Unwashed bodies, wood fire smoke, burnt meat and the reek of an uncovered latrine all mix together into an eye watering, gag reflex inducing stench. As they fight back the nausea and blink the sting out of their eyes, the sound of grunting nearby drags their attention towards the middle of the room.

They look towards the noise and the first sight is a large fire sitting in the center of the room with a large cauldron sitting on it with something thickly bubbling in it. Since that’s the only source of light, it takes them a few moments to discover where the grunting is coming from. When they do find the source, they instantly regret it.

“Oh man, I could have gone the rest of my life never seeing that,” one agent mumbles.

“I could have gone a couple of life times never seeing that,” a second responds.

“I think my balls just became one with my liver,” a third adds.

Liz remains quiet, though she can see the third guy’s point since her vagina feels like it’s trying to glue itself shut. They watch in fascinated horror as three troll couples go at it doggy style. A collective shudder runs through the humans before they settle down to business.

“So, do we get the ones sleeping or the, um, ‘lovebirds’ first?” another agent asks Liz.

“You guys go get the ones sleeping, I’ll take care of this lot,” Liz answers as she starts to circle around the half dozen trolls that haven’t realized they have company.

Liz watches as others disappear through an opening on the other side of the large cavern. She figures this room must be about half of a football field in length as she looks around. As her eyes adjust to the low light, she sees there’s crudely made furniture throughout the room including a long table. She thinks something is wrong with the table until she realizes it’s a fourth couple going at it with the female bent over the table. Another shiver runs down her spine as she turns her attention back towards the fire in the center of the room.

She feels the heat of the fire, the raw power. The couple closest to the flames gets hit first by the sudden flare up and their howls and screeches fill the room, echoing off the walls of the large chamber. Despite the noise and the now gag worthy smell of scorched troll, the others just keep right on at it. After a few moments, to Liz’s disbelief, the first two start up again.

While Liz is still figuring out her next move the first of the trolls that had been sleeping comes staggering out. He’s muttering something as he staggers bleary eyed across the room. He trips over one of the couples, knocking them apart in the process. A fight breaks out between the two males just as several more trolls come stumbling out of the sleeping chamber.

The new arrivals catch sight of the brawl going in and immediately join in fray. In a matter of moments a huge fight consisting mostly of female trolls is going full tilt and all but one of the amorous couples is involved with the tussle. The couple at the table is completely oblivious to anything going on around them as they continue to grunt away.

Liz and the other agents stand near that couple and watch the pandemonium before them. The trolls are fighting like animals as they claw and bite at one another. They roll around on the floor, but, Liz notices, they’re careful to avoid the fire in the middle of the room.

“What do we do now?” one of the agents shouts over the noise of the fight.

“Start herding them towards the door,” Liz yells back. “They’re avoiding the fire, so use your flame throwers.”

The agents nod their understanding and then get to work. They start with a group of three trolls near the exit and one of the agents give them a quick blast of fire. There’s screeching and howling for a few moments as the trolls break apart.

But just like before, they start at each other again, totally ignoring the human that caused them pain. However, they’re several feet closer to the opening than they were before so the agent gives them another blast. It takes a few minutes, but the agent finally manages to herd the tumbling trio out of the main room and into the entrance chamber. A few more blasts and they’re out of the cave all together. The trolls don’t even seem to notice as they go tumbling down the hill.

The other agents follow suit and in a relatively short amount of time, most of the trolls are out of the caves and are rolling down the hill. A group of five fighting trolls remains along with the two still going at it on the table. The agents return, getting ready to get rid of the last of the trolls as Liz watches from near the table, doing her best to ignore the couple using it.

As the fighting set rolls around, they accidentally run into the table and knock it several feet away causing the female to fall to the floor. She shrieks with indignation and charges at the other five. The male stands there for a moment with his pencil sized dick swinging in the air; he seems confused that his fuck buddy is gone.

He looks around for a moment and then his beady little eyes land on Liz who’s paying more attention to the other trolls than to him. Before she can so much as blink, the horny male reaches out and grabs her. He starts trying to rip the clothes off of the lower half of her before she even realizes what’s happening.

It takes her only a second to comprehend what’s going on and fear is her first emotion that she’s about to be violated by this creature. Then anger burns in the pit of her stomach, quickly spreading to the rest of her and her hands suddenly become engulfed in blue flames. She twists around and grabs the first body part that becomes available. Fortunately for her, it’s his nose.

The howl of pain is incredibly loud as the troll starts to try and get away from her. The anger boils up inside of her and mixes with the hurt, the pain and the frustration that the past month has brought her. She’s blind with the rage of his careless words and his inability to think beyond himself. So consumed with the fiery monster inside of her, she completely loses control.

John and the other agent standing guard watch in mild amusement as fighting trolls are herded out of the caves. They’re so involved with their fighting they don’t even seem to know what’s going on. He tries not to notice the ones that have no clothing as they go tumbling by.

The sound of a screaming troll is John’s first warning that something’s gone wrong. The sudden wave of intense heat is his second warning. When trolls and humans come running out of the main chamber as if their lives depend on it, he knows that everything’s gone to Hell in a hand basket.

Without even thinking about it, he quickly strips off the harness that holds the fuel tank for the flame thrower on his back and heaves the entire works towards the outside exit. Then he runs back into the nursery where some of the children are starting to wake. He grabs the edge of the large pelts they’re sleeping on and starts to drag it towards wall that the chamber shares with the main room, hoping that Liz’s fire won’t be able to turns corners.

Since they’re sleeping on a variety of hides, John isn’t able to move them all at once and has to move them in sections. Luckily, the older kids who have already woken simply pick up the younger ones and move over to the wall before sitting down themselves. Once the children are against the wall, John grabs all of the spare pelts and throws them over the kids. What seems to take an eternity to do, in reality, only takes about a minute to accomplish. John then places himself between the door and the kids, hoping that what little protection he can give will be enough.

Hellboy is only barely aware of just avoiding being hit by a flying flame thrower as he pushes his way past humans and trolls, trying to get to Liz. He hears the screaming and yelling and knows it’s not Liz making the sounds. He continues in his headlong rush, ignoring those around him and not even noticing when he runs into the last agent leaving the chamber causing the agent to drop his flame thrower at the entrance to the main chamber.

Once he’s in the large cave, he sees Liz completely engulfed in flames and she’s got a death grip on a naked troll’s nose. The troll is desperately trying to get away, but to no avail. Hellboy quickly gets behind Liz, gently takes hold of her wrists and pulls her off of the troll.

The troll makes a hasty retreat while Liz finally realizes who has hold of her. With a scream of fury, she lets out all of the anger, hurt and frustration and takes it out on him. He lets her go and stands passively as she pounds on him with her small fists while her fire rages around them.

A sudden explosion catches him off guard and knocks the two of them off of their feet. Liz lets out one final wave of heat and flame just before she collapses into a heap next to him. He pulls her towards him and waits for the fire to die down.

When the dust clears and only a few pieces of furniture are left burning, Hellboy shrugs out of his duster and wraps it around Liz’s now nude form. He carefully bundles her up, collects her in his arms as he stands and then heads for the exit.

He carefully picks his way across the room and stops short at the sight before him. While his ability to see in the dark isn’t any better than a normal human’s, he can see with what little light there is that there is no longer an exit. Whatever exploded caused a cave-in.

“Aw, crap.”
