Killing the Assassin Chapter Three By Blackdawn Da'tou eventually found shelter about 100 feet away in a dirt cave under the roots of a gigantic dead tree that had been dug out by a large animal, she had no room to stand and had to walk on her heels in order to move around, though the cave looked and smelled like it had been vacant for a long time. It taking about 20 minutes to drag her large rescuer from where he had fallen to the cave and had walked back out of the cave when he was safely inside to sit down beside the stream to study and clean her wounds. She was shot four times in the torso area and was forced to extract the big, metal head bullets by hand. Her back from what she could tell was only scrapped and bruised, with a big gash surrounded by another large bruise on the back of her head, assuming the wound got there when her head smacked against her rescuer's metal mask when they hit the ground. She had cleaned what wounds she could reach with water, put some weak acting herbs on them, to keep the infections down, and had a mixture of mud and moss to act as bandages until she could get some real medical attention. After she was through treating herself, she did the same with her rescuer.
Almost a day had gone by for Da'tou and she, along with her rescuer were still living in the dirt cave, Da'tou had her back rested against the wall eating a raw fish she had caught minutes ago. The bruised muscles of her injured back spasmed from time to time from resting against the wall, but it felt good on the rest of her body to relax and heal itself, her rescuer's wounds were healing just fine but he still had not woken. The reason why she was eating a raw fish instead of having it cooked was the fact that the assassin might see the flames or even smell the smoke if she made one. So the only thing Da'tou could do, was rest against the wall picking at the little fish that would only serve as a mere appetizer and think about how she was going to get back home with her injured rescuer and get past the assassin, though she didn't want to, she would have to kill the assassin. Letting out another sigh picking out another rib bone and put it on the pile of bones. She was just about to drift off again until the snap of a twig broke the silence alerting her, lifting her head up opening her eyes and listened, she didn't move a muscle or even breathe. There were no more twigs being snapped but there instead were the faint sounds of footsteps, listening closer trying to decipher what creature the footsteps belonged to. It could have been an animal being it made noise by snapping a twig, or the assassin, but wouldn't he want to be silent? Maybe he wasn't very good with tracking on the jungle floor, or maybe he snapped the twig on purpose, maybe he wanted her to know he was coming. Da’tou shook herself out of the state and focused. The tip of a barrel came through first and it felt like her heart stopped, mentally cursing to herself. How did he find her? Her eyes narrowed balling her fists, these assassins were becoming a royal pain in her ass, and readied herself, the stock of the rifle came into view and she attacked. First she grabbed the stock slamming it against the wall, the weapon firing off two shots that painfully rang in her ears, lifting her right hand punching the nearest hand then pulled the rifle out of the assassin's hands and threw it to the side. The man cursed at her then punched her right eye and Da'tou fell backwards, more from being knocked off balance then the force, and the man fell with her in a death grip with her throat. She though rammed her talons into his soft sides making him jump back with a scream and slammed her right fist into his face, the man though only rocked on his heels and replied with a knife to her left arm. Da'tou screamed and sidled to the side getting the blade out of her arm and lifted her arm to attack him, but he was quick and started stabbing her torso, now becoming pissed, Da'tou howled and rammed her body into his and was on top of him. Her left hand holding the wrist with the hand that was holding the knife while he was holding her right wrist trying to keep her talons away from his throat. It would be an easy fight for her if he were like the other men around here, but he was buff, a guy who pumped a lot of weights as what looked liked plenty of steroids, his arms were bigger then a normal sized man's neck. An even match for her, but if she didn't watch out, maybe an uneven one, her large body frame and muscle structure was a natural trait, she hardly needed to work out but this guy looked as if he worked out for painful hours to get this big. Then finally, Da'tou was able to over power him for a second, it wasn't much time, but it was enough to grab the soft tissue of his large throat, and tear it out. His reaction was automatic, the man let go of her already gurgling and choking on his own blood and wrapped his hands around his throat, seconds later his eyes went dim and he stopped breathing shortly followed by his hands falling to his sides. Da'tou exhaled in relief then toppled beside his body, the open wounds from the knife pulsing with pain as she steadied her heart rate bringing her breathing back into a steady rhythm. This wasn't the first time this had happened, and not the first time she had killed a human, somehow, she had been discovered by someone other then the people living in town. Could it be someone from the town doing this? She couldn't imagine who would be cruel enough to hire assassins and send them after her, it had to be someone on the outside, but that also seemed like another problem, Xingasa wasn't exactly a hot spot on the map for tourism, or anything really. She found a few years back that the people living over in the next town over, only 20 miles away didn't even know Xingasa existed. The town/village she lived in was split in two separated by a river and one old board and rope bridge: On the east side was East Xingasa, the side that accepted the outside world, somewhat that is. The other side, West Xingasa, had kept their ancestral heritage and still lived in straw and clay huts and still hunted for food with no contact to the outside world, except for East Xingasa. Forcing her heavy eyes to stay open but was too tired to force them, what little energy she had gained from rest and food was spent on killing the assassin. Forcing her eyes open one more time looking at the body beside her making sure he was dead, then strained her neck and body to look at the unconscious rescuer, he was still asleep and didn't look injured. Now, like she had done many times already, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep, hoping and dreaming she could finally go back home and live her normal life. Copyright © 2003-2005, Blackdawn. |
