Same Planet but Different Worlds

Chapter 18 I Know A Place

Kaya's POV

I try to move as much as I can but it is not much at all. "Please don't do this please." I beg of him as I hear him humming out. "This is what a man is really like and I promise you this is what Flynn would have done to you eventually." I shake my head not wanting to believe anything he has to say. It's just vile and angry, so I bet it is full of lies. "No you're wrong." I snap back as he laughs maniacally at my comment. "Oh I'm not wrong.. I'll show you." I keep trying to move as much as I can before he punches me in the side causing me to gasp, begging for air to enter my body once again. "Stop.. please." I squeak out through gasps of air into my system.

"Oh but you look too good to turn down." he says to me as I shake in his hold just trying to get away, but my legs can't move, and he is holding my arms too tight, there is no way I can get away. His one hand holds my arms as the other is pulling at my pants, breaking some of the threading I had used to put them together. "Please stop.. don't!" I beg again as he keeps laughing. "I never knew how much I would love hearing you beg.. but it sounds amazing coming from you." He says this in my ear before biting it.

I squeak out and cry as he punches me in the side. "Keep begging.. come on you can do it." he snaps at me as I cry out. "Please.. help me.. Flynn." is all that I can get out as I hear a loud bash of something that is not caused by me. I feel his grip loosen on my arms before he lets go, I take this opportunity to flip around to see that a bloodied and barely moving Flynn has hit this man with a large rock. The man falls to the ground almost as fast as the heavy rock that was being held did.

Flynn reaches down, grabs my arm and pulls me to my feet. "You need to go. You shouldn't have come back." he spats at me as I spat right back "I came back to help you because you came to help me." he stares at me as he pushes me towards the exit I left from before. "You need to go.. More will come." he says before he yells out as I see one of the men on the ground stabbing him in the leg.

He stumbles and starts to fall forward as I jump forwards to catch him, holding onto him tight. "Come with me.. I can help you." I say to him as I start dragging him away, not giving him a chance to give me an answer. We can hear other men yelling as they start getting closer. Flynn tries to stand as I help him, letting him lean on me for support as we leave this place as quickly as we can. We are stumbling through the trees, weeds and bushes together, holding onto each other as much as can while still keeping a good pace.

We trip and fall, stumbling forward to the ground together as we both groan out in pain, but him more than me. He tries to stand but cannot since the double-edged blade is still embedded in his leg. "Flynn.. look at me."I say gently touching his face, turning his eyes to me as I softly say. "I have to pull out the blade.. you can bite down on this if it helps." I say handing him one of my arrows. He shakes his head. "No, I'm ok.. I swear." he says as he tries to stand groaning out in pain.

"You're not ok.. please let me help you.. you can't keep going with this in your leg." I declare with so much worry as he reluctantly nods. I hand him the arrow as he instantly puts it into his mouth. "Ok.. I'm ready.. do it." I nod my head vigorously trying to pump myself up to do this. I let out a couple of rapid breaths as I instantly grab the handle and pull it all the way out. He groans out loudly in pain as I try to quiet him down before we are noticed. "Shhh... Flynn.. look at me.. you're ok.." I say taking the bottom of my pants, ripping them off as I shred that piece into long slices. I tie them together before I start wrapping the wound, causing him to be in even more pain.

"I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry." I say as he shakes his head. "No.. Kaya.. I'm sorry.. I promised and look at what happened.. things would have better if you would have just killed me.. You should have just killed me." he states between strained groans. I find my head automatically shaking. "No don't say that.. You tried to stick to your word and for that I commemorate you.. It's not your fault that your friend didn't want to do that." I declare in his defense.

"He is not my friend.. I don't have friends any more, apparently." He snaps out in anger, but I know it is not directed at me. This is just an incredibly frustrating situation, especially loosing people you thought were friends to figure out the hard way they are not. "You have a friend in me.. Now.. friend.. let's get somewhere we can hide and rest." I state as he lets out a deep breath before nodding at me. I grab the knife and putting it in the little hole made in the stitching on the outside of my pants.

We slowly stand this time, but before I can say anything he covers my mouth, then pulls me in, to lie my head on his chest. His hand leaves my mouth but before I can even question what is happening, we hear some men walking by. "I thought I heard something around here.. keep searching, by the amount of blood loss on this trail they couldn't have gotten far." we hear as he pulls me more into his frame to hide me. We are trying to hold our breaths as we hold one another. I lean my head back to look up at him as he looks down at me for a moment, before flipping us in a circle, startling me as he pushes me into the back of this tree, while covering over me with him almost all black clothes.

"Flynn?" I whisper as he softly responds with "Shhhhh." I nod closing my eyes with nervousness, just hoping we are not seen. He leans in closer before freezing in place as we hear some men walking right past us. I watch as he lifts his head to look around before standing up, "I know a place we can go. I nod with him as he instantly took my hand and led us away from this area that is already flooded with enemies. I follow behind without hesitation because for whatever reason I do trust him, especially in this moment where I feel our true colors have been shown.

He has put his life on the line for me and there is nothing I could do to repay him for that. I follow as he takes us to a small structure that isn't covering as much as I would like. I think he can see the worry in my eyes as he softly says, "This isn't the place.. don't worry." I nod he pulls me into him again, looking to the side as if he is listening for something. I didn't hear anything, but he did, so I quieted my breathing as I lean against him, waiting for whatever he heard.

That is until a blade shoots through his shoulder and right by my face. I can see the deep red blood glistening on the tip of the blade. My mouth drops open as I look up to see Flynn with a pain look all over his face. I am in shock as I see a man pop out from beside him as I instantly pull the knife from my side and stab him in the neck with it, before he can say anything or even make a sound, his limp body is dropping to the ground.

Men can hear that as they start yelling about that sound. "Come on, we have to go now." He says as I try to reach for the blade in his shoulder. "No, there is no time.. let's go Kaya." he spats as he takes my hand dragging me behind him as he practically runs.. I don't know how he can do this with that many wounds on him. Maybe it's the fear shooting through his system like it has been for me. Maybe it's just the desire to live past this night that is enough to keep us going no matter how much pain we are both in.

We run for a very long time, speeding past the hanging limbs and leaves that catch on my hair and shoulders but don't stop us. We keep going until I can't hear the men anymore, but that's what I had thought the last time we stopped. I can tell he is slowing down. I don't know if that is because he is feeling weak or because we are here.. But I will soon find out.

We stop as he quickly opens this hidden door that squeaks only slightly before he pulls me in then shuts and locks the door. But as we do that he ducks down to the ground bringing me with him as I practically sit on his lap. He leans forward I'm sure because of the pain, as I place his head on my shoulder so he can lean on me. He lets out a wavering breath along with groans of pain as I try to coo him as much as I can. "Shhh.. It's going to be ok Flynn." He leans more into me as we hear men yelling and running by.. probably hearing the door when we had opened and shut it.

"They won't find us?" I quietly ask him as he shakes his head to softly respond. "As far as I know, I'm the only one who knows about this place.. and now you." I nod as he leans on me more while we listen to the men yell and run around the building, not finding this place as he has suspected. I readjust my hold on him to be able to comfort him as much as I can.. The knife is still protruding from his shoulder, but I can't take it out without alerting the men of our location, so we have to wait.

They yell and storm all around the area, but luckily not into here. Maybe this really is just a place that only he knows about, at least for now. We wait for a little while until we can't hear anything else around. "Are you ok?" I ask him as he nods his head groaning out in pain, letting me know this is a lie, and he is just a bad liar. "Let me help you."I say as he asks, "Can we just sit here for a little longer like this? It's helping." I smile to myself because this is a comforting hold with him, and I am liking this as well.. I was just worried I was bothering him.

"Are you sure I am not hurting you like this?" I softly ask as he shakes his head with it still lying on me. "No this is.. nice.. and is making me feel a little better.. as long as you're alright with this." I keep smiling as I reply softly. "I like this too.. we can do this for a little bit longer but after that we need to get this blade out.. ok?" I say making a deal with him as he says, "Anything you want." before he wraps his arms around my back to securely hold me there.
