I’m Dedicated To You

“Yes my father is the gang leader,” Louis says laughing maniacally but I used that medium to gain an upper hand in the game since he is so full of himself.

“But you overlooked one thing,” I say looking around to see if any of his father’s men were around already but I noticed that they are not so, I think that should buy us some time.

“And what’s that, “Louis asked and I looked at Clara who was weeping beside Collins when I noticed that she was not going to help. I made eye contact with Ben and he nodded his head understanding what I was trying to say.

“That I am a crazy maniac”, I say, swinging my leg and giving him a kick in his mouth that got him rolling on the floor. I used that opportunity to pick up the gun that fell from his hand.

“Ben take the kids out of here”I pointed the gun at Louis that was on the floor.

“What about you?” he asked and I told him I will be after them and my grandfather’s reinforcement should be here soon.

“Did you think you guys could escape from here?” he asked, spitting out blood.

“My kick must be really strong that it even make our powerful leader’s son be spitting out blood and what you don’t know is that my intelligence is stronger than my kick” I started hearing footsteps coming from the woods towards the lake and I quickly knocked out Louis before he can call out to them and I quickly fasten my pace to meet up with the other kids dragging the absent-minded Clara along.

“You have to wake up yourself Clara, we have to get out of here alive, “I say, dragging Clara along with me.

We kept running through the woods to lose the gang members following us but I saw that they were already catching up with us because I could see them already.

“Clara runs along with the rest I will try to distract them”I pushed Clara to run along and I took a different route making sure that I caught the gang members’ attention I saw that I did so, increasing my pace.

“Look there is one over there”. I increased my pace when I saw them running after me.

I kept running through the woods but I later got exhausted so I decided to hide.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Looks like our young prince is fond of hide and seek but you have to get out now because we don’t think we can play with you anymore,” one of the men says. I tried looking for a possible way out from where I was hiding but when I sighted the people chasing I saw that they were just three.

Since they weren’t much in number I decided to fight it out with them and I don’t think it should be that tough to take them especially since their stand doesn’t look like they have much experience in combat.

“Hey are you looking for me?”I snorted, coming out from where I was hiding.

“Wow, the mighty prince decided to honor our presence, “one of the men said and the rest burst into laughter but before they could get themselves I quickly launched an attack on one of them.

“Sorry I didn’t mean to, “I say chuckling and I could see the men red with anger but before they could come close to me I threw sand at them.

“You cheat” they screamed but I laughed at them.

“I am sorry I am just a filial grandson because my grandfather always says if your chances of winning your opponent are slim it is okay to cheat”I immediately took to my pace when I saw that they were still grunting in pain with my petty attack.

“Search for him”I heard behind me and I quickly fastened my pace but I was already exhausted from all the trouble I had to go through so the men were already catching up to me.

“Aren’t you tired Young prince?” one of the men teased when he saw me panting heavily.

“You should just follow us. I am sure you are very tired and the boss won’t even deal with you”.

“Are you trying to coax a small kid?” I tried looking around if I could see something to distract them but I found none because we are on a mountain and I can’t help but blame my weak stamina for not being able to withstand all the struggles.

“Hey leave my big brother alone”I saw Gee looking fierce as ever and also her little friends behind her.

“Little girl did you think you guys are going to be able to escape from here”.

“We don’t think we are going to be able to escape from here,” Gee says “but we already escaped from that taunting hell” she immediately throws something at the men while they wonder what it was the girls quickly signaled me to run and when I did I saw the men surrounded with ants and I got amazed because I haven’t seen so many ants like that before.

“What did you throw on them?”I asked the girls while running into the woods.

“That’s a secret and you owe us one for saving you, “one of the girls says. I noticed I didn’t know her name so I decided to ask.

“What’s your na….” but I was interrupted by the sound of a gunshot and I felt something dripping down my arm and I looked at the source. I saw a marksman on the mountain. He must have sighted us from there.

“Big brother you are bleeding”Gee shouted but I quickly covered her mouth so she didn’t attract too much attention.

“Let’s quickly get out of here, “I say with so much difficulty because my hand is bleeding a lot and it’s hurt.

They supported me in walking because the gunshot already affected my mobility and we tried to walk faster even though I am making them lag.

“I think they are following us, “Gee says and when I looked behind I saw that my dripping blood must have given us away.

I almost fainted because of the pain but I was quickly supported by the girls.

“There is a cave over there, “one of the girls with hazel eyes says pointing at a cave and I shake my head at them signaling that it’s a bad idea.

“The worst place might be the best place sometimes”I was dragged to the cave and they got me seated.

“Big brother stays here we are going to get them distracted to buy you some time,” Gee says and I saw her tearing her almost torn skirt making it even shorter.

“Miss Lydia always does this to stop our bleeding when we are out of supplies” she gave me the clothes and placed my unwounded hand in them so I can suppress the bleeding.

“No matter what happens make sure you stay here before help comes,” she says and I saw her and her friends about to leave.

“Make sure you come back little girl,” I say with my hoarse voice filled with pain.

“I am going to come back big brother, that’s a promise so, you better stay awake,” she says with tear-brimming eyes and I hear her fading footsteps before I lose consciousness due to pain.
