Love is War

Chapter 64

Once I gained my confidence that I can shoot them down, I quickly pulled the trigger shooting each one of them two bullets per person to ensure that they are dead. I quickly changed targets once I am done shooting the other one twice.

I did this quick and what I planned is very disappointing for me, because I did not land a single headshot even just one, all of them landed on their bodies. They lose their balance because of the force of the bullets.

I ignored my hands shivering while I point the gun, and I thought that if do this quickly, I will not miss. Turns out that, I am wrong, I am really hopeless with guns. Since it is useless in my possession, might as well as throw it, because it will be just another drag for me.

I threw the gun at my side and I started running, and kicked the first soldier that I came across with that is trying to stand up, hard. That will render him unconscious. I did not waste my time to get to each one of them.

“Alexis, it’s me Nova!” I shouted at her because she might shoot me accidentally. It’s better to avoid that scenario and regret it later. I shouted with the loudest voice that I can resonate and I think, that is enough to reach her.

I faced this man that already lifted his fast, as if he is ready to fight me fist to fist, I almost bursts out of laughter because of cute the struggle that they are doing but that’s good. He threw the first punch at me and I quickly evaded it, and when I rise up, I threw just one simple left jab to his face.

It was a clean hit, and when I put away my fist away from his face, I am surprised to see him unconscious. He dropped on the ground and then the gunshots started, I rolled on the ground to quickly get to cover. This is bad, because there are many eyes in this place at once. Meaning that there are many people that can tell the Shinigami our location, damn!

I am still pretty far away to Alexis; I need to muster my courage. I scanned the area in front on me while I lower myself even more as the bullets that’s been fired at my location, is gradually demolishing this stone. It’s tough but I need to escape here once and for all.

There are many demolished rubbles in the area big enough to hide my body, and I ran towards it, and I am planning to go there one by one until I reach her, this is not risk free, and I am completely aware of that, and all that I need to do is that I must be careful.

I ran as fast as I can towards the next location and the bullets are just like kids, chasing me in game of tag. If they catch me, then I am it, or rather dead. I planted it to my brain making sure that I will not forget this. I reached the first location towards Alexis in one piece, and it seems like that Alexis is not returning fire.

Well, I cannot blame here because they are throwing their heavy firepower towards us, so I cannot blame the- I was shocked when I heard a loud gunshot behind me, as for me I don’t know what is it, as I am very busy to get the perfect timing to run towards the next location, is it some kind of a new high tec weapon.

My curiosity, won’t allow me to move on, as long as I cannot identify that thing that caused that loud sound, so I crawled towards the edge of this giant rubble.

To my surprise I saw the others not holding any gun that caught my attention, and they are still firing right at us, with all the ammunitions that they’ve got. But right before I return to hiding, my eyes widened when I saw another red after image before I heard the gunshot and caused a huge c***k on the ground.

It is the Shinigami, he is really using all of his soldiers as his eyes, there is no place that I can call safe as long as they can see us and it does not matter if the Shinigami, is seeing us directly or not, because he keeps finding ways.

What really shock me is the realization, that his bullets are faster that sound, thus I named it sonic bullets, well because they are faster than the speed of sound that’s all, it’s not literally sonic waves, it is still bullets made out of the metals... e whatever.

What is more important now, is that I must get out of here fast... no, not just me, we must get out of here fast. I remembered to inform eagle about this so that he will be wary upon being sighted by the Shinigami. I grabbed my radio and I must finish this quick.

“Eagle, this is Nova, be aware, don’t get in sight of the Shinigami’s position, he is more dangerous than we thought of, his current location right now, is the highest point of this docks,” I told the pilot directly and honestly, I lost track of time and I don’t know how long that we had been here.

I must act fast before they reach us, after that, I ran immediately, and almost instantly that I got out of that place another bullet from the Shinigami hits that location and completely demolished the giant rubble.

Just seeing that crumble into pieces sends shivers to my body, I don’t know what it feels like to be hit by one on those things, I wonder if it is painless, because death is fast, but still I have no intentions to find out, and I don’t know why I did that.

“Alexis move!” I shouted again towards her while I continue to run, to inform her that the Shinigami is at it again, firing his fearsome bullets towards us, I already informed her about this, so if she is hearing me right now, she knows the context of my message.

Fortunately for me, even she is not hearing my voice right now because of the commotion that is happening behind me, the Shinigami is focused on me so I can still surely know that she will be safe, and besides she is not firing, then that means the enemy will assume that she is not there anymore, or am I the only one that’s been assuming that she is still in there.

I am not sure, but I will not shout to her again or do anything that will give up her location because that will only endanger her life. I did not last long to the boulder that I am hiding at right now, so I sprinted again towards the next location.

The next location is very hard for me as I saw that it was very far away from me, and this one’s level of being risky is at the max, but still early bird gets the worm, I know that idiom is very out of the blue, I did not prepare myself to run towards that next location, and I ran at different directions, so the chances of the bullets hitting me is not high.

Also, I need to be wa- ouch! I stumbled on the ground when a bullet from above just caused a c***k in front of me and with the currents speed that I am running at right now, I cannot reduce my speed that instantly.

That’s what I am thinking just now, the Shinigami might predict my movements again because one of his people might told him the exact layout of the place right now and told him the pattern of my movements right now.

That broke my right sheen and it is very painful, I gritted my teeth as I pull out my legs from the c***k and started running again and with each pressured force applied to that sheen caused me indescribable pain, but I trained myself to endure this kind of pain.

I wanted to scream because I am still running at the same speed with all these injuries I sustained and I will be out in action for a very long time, if I really manage to get out of this place alive. Broken bones are the worst injury that I suffered.

While I am running towards that next location, I pull out a handkerchief that I brought with me, from my pocket, and immediately placed it in my mouth, so instead of screaming, I can just put the pain in this handkerchief by biting it.

That’s what I do, each time I feel pain, and that way, I can avoid screaming out loud. Enduring this pain exhaust my mind and my body at the same time which is not good, then I reached the location, and immediately hide and there I did not stop running because I will only stop once I get to Alexis, that’s my goal right now, I don’t care how many enemies are waiting for me to come out right now.

It’s all the same, as long they can’t land a bullet on me, I mean it’s all okay because once I stop moving the toll of this pain will take over me and I can’t move anymore as the pain will overcome me. I really hope that Alexis is still okay, because she is the only one that is driving me right now.

Two more left and lucky for me Alexis’s location is not that far way from here now. That’s why, despite this suffering that I am going through right now, I can still manage to endure. I really hope that all this pain will be worth it in the end.
