Both fighters were exhausted from the fight. The rain washed away the blood as soon as it came out of their bodies. Grey looked beneath him, the puddle of blood he made.
“ What do I do now we’re evenly matched” he thought.
Just as he was about to move he felt a sudden gush of wind come from the inside. The wind was strong enough to put him off balance for a second.
“ What was that” grey said with a confused look
Jackal looked at the building in disbelief and then ran towards it.
“ oye where are you going” grey asked
“ Unfortunately I don’t have any more time to spare you”
And with those words he went invisible and left.
“ well I guess I should go back to”
Grey started running in the opposite direction.
“ However what was that blow earlier”
He looked back
“ I have a bad feeling about this” he thought
Infront of him he saw a shed with multiple military vehicles.
“ that might come in handy”
He went to the window of the vehicle and destroyed it with his elbow and opened the door from inside.
“ if what Zane told me was correct then this should..” he mumbled as he hotwired the vehicle.
“ got it” he said in joy as his cars engine roared.
He went over to the bridge he came from. As he was about to cross the bridge he saw another man running towards the bridge. On closer inspection he found out it was his commander. He got in and they went back to their hideout. They entered the shop and it made it’s usual cling sound.
“ oh welcome back how was your day…”
Old man Jenkins looked at both of them covered in dirt and bruises.
“ oh my come inside let’s get you fixed up”
They went to the back and into the secret lair. Charolette and Zane were both waiting
“ oh thank goodness your back” charolette said
“ yeah I’m back but we need to go back immediately, Zane yo-……”
he suddenly fell down but before falling down Zane caught him. He ha passed out
“ what happened to him” charolette asked in a concerned tone.
“ He still has a pulse must have passed out because of all the exhaustion from fighting”
“ will he be okay” charolette asked
“ it’s okay commanders a stubborn man he’ll make it” grey replied
“ I see” charolette said in a hopefully tone.
Zane took Draken on his back and went to his room.
“ wait were missing a person, Christina”
“ by the looks of it she probably stayed behind To let him escape”
“Im sure your worried about her lassie but it’s better for you to rest now” Zane said as he came out of the room.
“ We all could use some rest, let’s call it a day and go to sleep” grey added.
And with that they all went to their rooms. Charolette looked at Draken’s room and thought she should stay there. She went to turn the handle of the door when she stopped suddenly.
“ It’s okay he’ll be fine” she reassured.
With that thought she went to bed.
Both guns were pointed towards his head with his hands tied behind his back. He looked up to see soldiers with expressionless faces. In the distance he could see a familiar figure. Her back towards him and her long black hair covering her back. She was being escorted by some soldiers.
“Mom” Draken shouted
He tried to budge but he couldn’t. The ropes constricted his movement
“ Mom” he screamed out once more time
She looked behind her face was blurry and he couldn’t make out the features.
He woke up. Draken looked around he was in his room. His body was covered in bandages. He sat up on his bed which caused pain where his wounds were. The room was quiet and the morning light illuminated the whole. It was a calm morning but Draken had something in his mind.
“ the first ally I make and I leave her to be sacrificed”
“ You okay” Zane came in inside
“ yeah I’m ok” Draken replied
Draken went quiet for a moment.
“ Something on your mind” Zane said as he closed the door
“ Maybe I’m not cut out for this, I left Christina behind and I don’t know what’s happening to her”
Zane looked at Draken’s worried face.
“ you remember back when we were kids there was this kid who was always sick” zane said
“ Yeah his name was john” Draken replied
“ he always wanted to play with us but he was bedridden, so a certain someone decided to strap that guy on his back and played with the rest of the kids”
“ heh” Draken smirked a little
“ You know you made that boys day back then”
“ that was when we were kids, now different”
“ all I’m saying is I Know you wouldn’t leave someone behind” Zane said as he put his hands on his shoulders
“ besides that women kicked both of our asses together she won’t die that easily”
“ yeah you’re right”
“ now come on eat something”
They came out of the room and to the table where breakfast was being served.
“ oh thank goodness you’re awake are you okay” charolette asked.
“ it’s okay I’m fine” he said as he sat down
“ Well I made blueberry pancakes so eat to your hearts content”
“ bad news” grey stormed in
“ what is it lad” Zane asked.
He handed him the newspaper. As he read the newspapers his eyes widened and his heartbeat grew faster. On the main page was a bold headline.
Christina ally of the resistance
Is to be executed today at 3 pm
Everyone is advised to come.
“ f**k this is really bad mate” Zane said
“ what do we do we have to help her right” charolette said .
“ Don’t be crazy we barley made it out of there alive yesterday” grey said
“ but we can’t just leave her to die what about the orphanage”
Everyone then looked at Draken
“ Commander it’s your call”
Draken looked down at his pancakes with the blueberries to the side. The aroma of sweet syrup captivated his nose. The syrup slowly drenched down from top to bottom. He assessed the situation. He was badly injured but if he pushed his limits he could probably fight. Grey could also fight.
“ Everyone pack your gear” he said that and stoop up.
“ This is the last time we’re doing this, let’s go capture a kingdom”.
The sounds of footsteps grew louder as it came nearer and nearer to the cell.
“ get up” jackal said to the prisoner
“ time for your execution”
“ is it time already” Christina said.
He opened the gate and shackled her arms and legs. They moved slowly and slowly up the stairs.
“ something on your mind kid” Christina asked
“ what do you mean” jackal replied
“ ever since I saw you I get the feeling somethings haunting you something that’s making you sad”
“ Mind your own business, do you even have time to worry about other people your gonna die”
“ I’m a mother when I see a troubled kid I have to help him”
They reached closer and closer to the roof.
“ oye were here” jackal said
In front of Christina was a huge crowd of people. Almost everyone from the town was there. There were two guards with huge knife like spears. They made her say down on her down on her knees. A man who was also the ministry of finance came to the stage.
“ today the heinous criminal Christina is to be killed”
