Veronica "There is one problem with what you just said buddy." I reply flexing my shoulders, preparing for a fight. Because a fight was definitely going to occur. I wont fool myself by thinking that i would be able to talk myself out of here. I don't think this guy knows how to feel anything. Much less have a conversation. Its like he is a robot. If i didn't know any better i would say he was a one of 'the lost'. The lost are human beings that are infused with black magic or lost themselves to black magic. Which in most cases they would have sold their soul because they wanted something badly. The selling of souls doesn't only happen with demons. It did with black witches too. Except the witches would not give you ten years but a month or two at most. I cant see myself making that kind of deal. But who am i to judge? Desperation can lead a man to almost agree to anything. The lost ones only obey black magic users. And Noah was not a black magic user was he? Cause if he was, then i had much more bigger issues than i thought. Because his house would not be armed with only one black magic object. If he is using black magic then his house was full of black magic items. Making him one scary fucker. Cause you never know what toys a black magic user has in his or her corner. I need to get out of here quick before i found out. "I don't agree with that." I continue. "Master told me not to let you escape by any means necessary." He says in that eerie voice again. "Master?" Who was this master he was talking about now? And i stand corrected, he is one of the lost. They always refer to their boss or whoever summoned them as master. f**k my life. How did i end up in this kind of mess. "Yes." His robotic voice answers. "Still dont agree." I state dryly and then launch myself at him at full speed. His shocked eyes meet mine before i collide with him in full force. So he does know how to show emotion. Just not the emotion i expected. But i will take it as a win. Because that means he might also feel pain. In all my studies there was not much information on the lost. Only basics about them being robotic scary motherfuckers. Most books and people who told us information about them, usually said the same thing. Which is to run if you ever had the misfortune to encounter a lost one. Today im facing that misfortune. I will crush that misfortune and get out of here thou. Because i was getting tired of being held against my will. First Lysander and then Noah and now this dude. I have had enough. I throw a punch to his face and im satisfied when i hear a snap signifying a broken nose. A groan of pain following behind. Im about to throw another punch(maybe i would be lucky and knock him out) when im flipped and im now on the floor and the huge guy is on top of me. Before i could catch my breath two huge hands descend on my throat and start to choke the life out of me. Im at a disadvantage because his sitting on me and i cant shake him off. Flaying my hands all over, trying to get anything that i could use to get him off me. The dizziness start to set in, i could feel myself getting weak. I was about to pass out or die. Knowing my luck. It was probably the latter. Finally, i brush something with my fingers and i reach for it with the little energy i still have. It was one of my pretty swords. In a quick move i puncture it through his shoulder blade. He bellows in pain and instantly let me go. I cough and gulp huge amounts of air. That was close. Too close. I quickly get away from his reach because he was about to reach for me again. The guy didn't know when to stop. The sword was literally still in his shoulder but he was still coming after me. It was do or die today. I quickly look around for my other sword since the previous one was still stuck in him. Where is it, where is it? There, next to Noah's ridiculous gold chair. I ran for it and just as im grabbing it, a sharp pain in my stomach makes me stumble. Thankfully i still manage to grab my sword and quickly turn around and swing it. Decapitating him in one clean stroke. A breath of relief escapes me but a wave of dizziness assaults me again. Whats wrong with me? First a sharp pain in my stomach and now dizziness. Speaking of my stomach, the intense pain is back. I look down to see and notice that im bleeding badly. I had been stabbed. How had i not notice this much pain. I cant afford to slow down. I quickly look for some kind of cloth and to my luck there is a huge first aid box on the other side of the wall. I go through various items and medication. Why would a wolf even need this kind of stuff? I finally settle on what i wanted the most. The bandages. I quickly start wrapping it around myself. Managing to stop the hemorrhaging. Barely. But enough that i could get away from here before i pass out. I know it was not smart of me to go out there when i was bleeding this badly. Many supernatural beings liked the smell of blood. Some even the taste of it. Vampires being some of them. I was about to walk to my death. Honestly the outcome would be the same if i chose to stay in here and wait for the fucker or crazy pants. So yeah i will take my chances to get away from here. I quickly grab my two swords. I couldn't leave them behind. Thou i had to remove the other one from the shoulder of a headless body. No worries. My friends and i have done weird things in the name of surviving. This is pretty much nothing since im the one who decapitated him. I still remember when we were living in the streets. Many dead bodies would show up in various places and my friends and i would go and frisk the ones that are still looking a bit fresh or the ones that have not decayed much. Sometimes we would find money and other times we would find nothing. Just because of the little money we would find, we could not stop frisking the dead bodies because that little money would mean a day or week for us without hunger. Desperate times. I dont bother cleaning the sword. I quickly strap both of them onto my back. What i couldn't find thou was the knife that i was stabbed with. And i could not afford to waste anymore time looking for it. Stepping into the passage im surprised to see it empty. Not even one shifter. Where were they? Surely with the barrier down there should be some kind of noise in the house. Was Noah really a black magic user? If so, did the object i broke really not made any difference? What was that shaking sound that occurred when i broke it though? Some kind of alarm? Various questions ran through my mind. And if that shaking was an alarm i needed to move way more quick than i am rightnow. Because Noah will simply be more pissed that i attempted to escape him and if he manages to get his hands on me again, i dont need anyone telling me that i will be locked in a literal cage forever. My hands and legs tied. f**k. I start to run through the passage looking for an exit or another room with a window. Noah's ridiculous office had no window. Who had an office without a window? The vent was the only source of air. In a way his office was a prison too. I shudder in revulsion. Spotting a door to my right side. I head for it and open it quietly. A breath of relief escapes me when i notice that no one was in the room and more than that, there was a huge window a few steps in front of me. Designed to enjoy the view i presume. The bedroom was simple and not luxurious enough to be Noah's if im going by his taste in the office. I quickly go towards it and i could see the woods. I could probably enjoy this kind of view if i wasn't a prisoner. Something about seeing the woods from so faraway was therapeutic. It was still daytime. Thank f**k. If i manage to escape i would still be able to see for a few hours before many predators came out to play at night. If im lucky i might be able to get medical attention for myself. And i was in need of one badly, the wound in my abdomen was now extremely painful. Even thou the bandages were now socked through, the blood was thankfully still not leaking. Not for long by the looks of the bandages. Not to mention the dizziness being back. I pull one of my swords and start crushing the glass. Thankfully it doesn't give me a hard time and crushed swiftly. But damn was i high up. What am i going to do? I was at least four or maybe six stories up. Could i survive that kind of jump? I didn't think so. But i still had to do it. I could not afford to stay in here any longer. Noah will catch up to me at any moment. As if to confirm what i was thinking Noah bellows to whoever he was with, "FIND HER AND BRING HER TO ME!" Oh God, i was officially out of time. It didn't sound like he was near me but with how fast these supernatural beings moved. Not to mention their sense of smell. He will be onto me at any moment from now. Here goes nothing. I jump out the window, my last thought being apologizing to my friends. They won't even know that i died here. Wherever here was. Before i could go splat i swear i heard Lys say something. Or maybe i was hearing things. I could not tell at this point. My body was full of pain. And then darkness claimed me.
