Kaya's POV
I keep trying to push the man off of me as he just laughs and leaning in more, I think hoping I would give in. I look over at my friends who are all on the ground looking hurt and scared as they try to help one another up, just to be kicked down. "Stop it.. stop! Leave them alone!" I yell out at them as they ignore me and keep doing it, loving that they are winning and upsetting me. I feel the tears running down my cheeks as I keep trying to fight back, but with his weight leaning on me, that is almost impossible for me.
I feel this man lean in further until his breath is on my neck as he hums out. "You smell so good, I just might have to have a taste." I try to push him off as he chuckles and bites my neck. I use my legs kicking him and stomping on his already hurt feet, but this doesn't stop him or even get him off of me. That is until we hear a scream that sounds as if it is a battle cry of sorts. Flynn comes barreling out of the dark and thickened trees, lunging out until he collides with the men around, looking as if he just fell out of the trees.
The men he ran into look confused, I think by the way they are looking at him as if they think he is on their side, and maybe he is. He wipes the blood from his face showing he was attacked earlier as the men had said. Flynn pants as if he ran the whole way here and maybe he did. He stands over the men with no fear in his burning eyes, they are only filled with anger. "You need to leave.. Leave them alone now.. and don't speak of what you have seen here." he demands from them as I feel the man hovering over me now tightening his grip on me.
He chuckles again, it is sounding forced. "Why? So you can have these women to yourself? I don't think so.. We haven't seen women like this ever, and you want me to forget about it and not take what we would be owed if we brought them back to Octavious?" he asks Flynn this as he grips me even tighter, that I can feel my cloth tearing. Flynn stares at me, showing the rage in his eyes, but I know it is not directed at me. I can feel it is not.
"Octavious will never know of them.. You hear me? You were never supposed to know.. Now let them go.. Let her go." he demands once again, but this is not convincing the man who is holding me tighter than ever now, hurting my arms as he presses harder on them into the side of large tree. "You're not going to tell me what to do, especially when it comes to a female. How do you think you can tell me what to do or not do with a female when you have never done anything with a female." he spats back as I knee him in the groin causing him to let my arms go.
I try to run from him, but this makes him even angrier as he grabs my arm and cloth, pulling me in as his nails dig into my skin until the sound of tearing can be heard. I groan out and try to hit him again. But my slaps and hits are nothing to this man. He just laughs as if it has tickled him or maybe his skin is impenetrable. "Leave them be please.. I don't want this to end in violence but it will if you don't leave them alone." Flynn declares again as the man laughs even louder in my ear making me want to hide from his cackle.
"The man who cares about how females are treated, wants to help.. Surprise surprise. Could you get off of your high horse already." he says this in the most mocking tone that I would say he is joking around if it wasn't for the glares sent his way by Flynn. I watch Flynn's jaw clench as do his fists, looking angrier by the second. "This isn't right." leaves his sweet lips still trying to defend us, like I was hoping he would. No matter what happens, at least I know that we all tried.
"Flynn, get the f*#k out of here before I make you.. You don't want to know what I am going to do to these females before I take them back to Octavious, but we will just say that it isn't going to be pretty, but I am going to love every second of it." he spats before turning around and pushing be back until my back hits the same tree again but this time around he has made sure that there is no space between us. I put my hands up as I try to push him away while groaning out, as I use what I strength I have, which seems to not be enough.
"Get off of me!" I snap back before seeing one of the men who were attacking us, flying past before hitting the tree. We freeze as we see that both the men are knocked out and on the ground unconscious as Flynn is storming over to us with so much anger in his eyes that I can't help but to be excited about this sight. I think he is going to help me. Flynn reaches out to grab the man, but he shoves his arm away, which doesn't stop Flynn, it just allows him to kick his leg, making contact with this man's hip, sending him to the side.
This doesn't stop the man, he jumps up and comes back attacking Flynn. He holds him back as they start to throw punches and kicks at one another. The man is fast and punches him, making contact with Flynn's face as he stumbles back, with the man instantly thinking he has the better hand over him. I watch in horror as his hands grip Flynn's neck while he tightens his hands, until he is having a hard time breathing. I can't let him do this, I reach down, taking a rock into my hand and hitting the man over the head as he tried to suffocate Flynn.
This gives Flynn the chance he needs to grab hold of him before he yells out in a strained tone. "You need to go.. All of you go now before the others wake up.. or before more come because I'm sure they heard the gun shots.. So hurry and go." He demands looking into my eyes before looking back at my friends as they frantically grab their things to go. "You need to go too, Kaya." he demands this from me as I nod and walk away backwards until I run into my quiver and bow seeing most are broken some time within the fighting. I grab them anyway, strapping them onto me as I turn to follow Tallulah, who has Crew in her arms and running out of the tree line.
She stops once she sees that I have my bag, but I am not leaving. "Kaya.. Come on lets go.. You heard him, we have to go." she demands as I keep nodding my head watching her leave with Orson, Atlas and Soya right in front of her. I look back seeing Flynn struggle as he fights off this man for us. I look at him one last time, feeling bad about him being in this situation. He looks back, I think making sure that I am leaving but seeing that I have not. "Go Kaya.. now." Flynn demands as I nod and jump through the treeline. I start to run until I hear it.. The sound of more groaning erupting loudly, this stops me in my tracks. I look back to see the other men are waking up but haven't seen where we had left from.
"Kaya what are you doing?" Tallulah whisper yells at me as I shake my head. "They are going to kill him." I say under my breath, as I feel my heart racing while my eyes water. "You can't help.. we tried and it didn't work.. look at what they did to your bow.. they ruined it.. You have nothing to help him out." she declares as I say softly. "Take Crew and get back.. I will be right behind you.. but he helped us and I won't let him be killed in cold blood for that.. please go and I will meet you at home.. but the guys and Crew new your help.. please don't argue.. just go." I declare before she huffs out and leaves knowing she has to go now.
I take the arrow out of my quiver as I hold it tight in my grip, sneaking back through the trees to get a better look. The men are circling around Flynn who still has the other man in his grip and still up against the tree. I watch as one man swipes his knife on his Flynn's leg, causing him to groan out as he let's go of the man and stumbles back with blood dripping down his leg. The men watch him stumble back until he is leaning on a tree for support.
"I can't believe you wouldn't let us have some fun.. now we will just have to try to follow the trail to find out where they reside.. thanks for making this much harder than it needs to be." The man looks livid as he instantly punches him in the face after his comment, causing Flynn to turn and spit out some blood. "They're smarter than that hence why some of us originally got caught in the traps.. they will be long gone from here and you won't have a trail to follow.. so leave them alone and forget they ever existed." Flynn spats back at them before receiving another hit on his face.
This causes him to groan out before he shoves two of the guys back, causing an all out brawl between them. Punches and kicks are thrown out here and there as I inch closer. I see a big branch that has been broken off, so I grab it and come through the treeline, getting close enough to make contact as I start swinging without hesitation. Luckily I make contact with one of the guys, sending him to the ground since they never saw me coming for them. Since he is on the ground and disheveled, I take advantage and smack him in the face with the branch, knocking him out before I reach down and grab the knife in his hand.
I can see one of the men coming for me in my peripherals as I quickly turn and throw it, causing it to hit the other man in the neck. He grabs for the knife and pulling it out but causing more blood to shoot out from the wound than when it was in it. He groans out in pain before dropping to the ground. This gets Flynn's attention and the man I have grown a strong hatred for. I watch the amusement appear across his face as he smiles largely for whatever reason, I guess liking what he is seeing.
"Oh.. back for more.. I like it." I shake my head at his comment before bringing out my arrow again, it's sharp but not exactly what you would like for a weapon in hand to hand combat, especially when you're quite literally backed into a corner. I keep backing up, holding the arrow out as he laughs and brings out an even bigger knife then I have ever had. He swipes and breaks my arrow as he cuts my arm in the process.
I scream out in pain as he swipes again cutting my stomach. "You think this is painful? Just imagine what I plan to do to you later.. it will be nothing compared to this." he spats before grabbing my hair, pulling me into him and bringing the knife straight to my throat. The cold blade digs into my throat as I whimper out in pain. He flips us around just to see that Flynn is not there anymore, he is gone and we are alone.
"Perfect.. he finally got the hint and left us be.. That's great.. now I can show you a good time." I shake my head receiving a cut under my neck as he throws me to the hard ground. I try to crawl away to my feet, but the dirt quickly slips out from under my feet causing them to do the same. As I try to grip he quickly grabs my ankle and pulls me back towards him. "I don't know why you wasted your time coming back here and trying to help him, especially since he doesn't have that respect to do the same for you. He ran to save himself when you should have done the same. I hope you know that you could have been long gone by now.. but you had to come back and look at what's going to happen to you."
I squeal out as I try to hit him but he just grabs my hands, flipping them back, making them feel as if he is going to break them with such a tight hold. The pressure is hurting my arms more than I ever thought they would. I gasp for air with my face in the dirt, not getting much but that. He twists my arms together and holds them behind my back before putting his weight on my legs. "No please don't.. please.. stop.. please." I beg as I feel the tears coming down my cheeks. I can feel that he is starting to rip my cloth that I made to cover me. I struggle in his hold, hoping for anything to happen but this. I always heard about the horror stories and just always hoped I would never be apart of them, like I'm sure everyone else had. But at this rate I don't think there is anyway I am getting out of this.
