MAYA.
Four wasn’t bad to be honest, but trackers were incredible fighters. I reminded myself myself no matter how incredible a warrior was, it would only take a knife to the heart to end their life. There was no mercy we would have on them. We were going to fight and they would die. I grabbed Tianna’s head with both hands and gently lowered my forehead towards hers.
“Whatever happens out there, make sure you survive. Please!” I begged. She nodded. Her eyes were already filling up with tears. After that, we started walking outside. My dagger was carefully concealed in my dress at a very good position.
While my injury would serve as a distraction to make them think that I was harmless, I would spring up on them and tear anyone in my way to pieces before they knew what was happening. And I also knew that I was going to be in a world of hurt because of my pain. I just had to go through it and endure. We had barely taken a few steps when I saw a silhouette slowly walk down the entrance of the cave.
It was a big silhouette, which told me just how big the person we were going to face was. He was burly, and that was a very bad beginning to a fight like this. The man stopped when he noticed the two of us standing there. Even though his face was hidden in the darkness, I would have sworn he smiled when he saw us. We must have looked like two helpless people with no hope of escape.
Yeah, we were surrounded, but it would take a lot from them before they could do anything. The man slowly crouched and started to approach us menacingly. My hands tightened around my blade as I glared at him.
“There is no need for this. We can just not fight. You can take me back to your Pack but you’re going to leave her alone. We don’t need to shed blood.” I said, trying to get to a compromise even though that would be unreasonable for them. I knew that no matter what I tried to tell them, they would still try to fight. The man stood straight and replied.
“The instructions were clear. You both are coming back with me to the Pack, dead or alive. It is your decision to make me know if you want to die or leave. You’ll end up getting killed either way, but if you want that to happen right now, I will be glad to help you with it.” I nodded, knowing I was right the whole time.
“Then fighting it is. Trust me when I tell you you’ll die if you go on with this.” I said, but he simply scoffed and replied.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“Let’s find out. You think I came alone.”
“I knew you came with three other trackers.” He didn’t look so pleased when I told him that.
He snarled at me. “You think you’ll be able to fight with that on your leg? You have a chance to cut the crap and surrender. ” He asked, pointing at my bloodied ankle.
“Let’s find out.” That was the moment the other trackers started to walk down the elevated platform that led to where we were standing right now, about to face off each other. I felt the adrenaline run through me as the man yelled at them to attack.
While Tianna charged forward and attacked the first man, I stayed back. The two other guys ran towards me from both sides and swung their class towards me in an attempt to have my head off immediately but I ducked and avoided the blows, making them cut through the air.
Being on the advantage now, I stuck out my blade at the man on my right and punched into his left chest, making sure it went in enough to get him in the heart. He cried out and fell on the floor right away, before falling down, dead. The second man slowly backed off but he wasn’t giving up. I could see the resilience in his eyes. I smiled while looking him in the eye.
“I could do that to you too. Mind coming closer?” He yelled at my attempts to mock him and approached angrily. I did as I had warned him but this time I’d driven the knife in his cheek, knowing him out for a while before I went for the chest. While trying to finish him off, he began to struggle and seeing my vulnerability, he kicked my leg and I crashed to the floor immediately.
My dagger clattered across the floor as I lay down there , screaming. It was too much and I couldn’t handle any of it. That’s when I heard Tianna let out a muffled cry.
“Shut up!” The terrifying, burly man yelled before I heard a resounding slap. He has caught her. This was the end! The man, after he was done, knowing her down, started to approach me.
“I told you I was going to get you.” He said before his eyes went over the two of his men who I had killed. He was shocked by the sight for some seconds but he did well to hide it. After that he came close enough.
I was still screaming due to the pain which had reduced now. He leaned close to grab me but I suddenly jutted my hand straight at him and grabbed his shirt. I held him so tight that he couldn’t escape, and when the shirt tried to tear off, I grabbed his wrist.
“Tianna, run now! Don’t wait for me!” I yelled at her. Thankfully she didn’t wait to hear me talk to her again. She grabbed the bag and ran out of the plan. The man was livid as he stared down at me.
“What are you doing, leave me the fuck alone!” He yelled but that was a great moment for me. Seeing him struggle was a very satisfying moment. I couldn’t help the small smile that crossed my lips.
“I’d be damned if i did.” I chuckled through the pain as I grabbed him even tighter. With a surge of anger, he gave me a deafening blow on the face and that knocked me out for a few seconds. Seeing that I was helpless, he turned me over, without minding that it hurt so much.
“I will make sure you suffer for this. And just to inform you, I have another guard out there. I’m sure he must have her by now. You think you’re smart but I have already planned out everything before coming here. You’re fucked!”
That was the last thing I heard before another strong blow descended upon me.
And then, there was darkness.
