Chapter 17: Mission For The Night Successful
Chaos ensued after that!
The children screamed and ran taking off into the woods. Even in the darkness, the look of surprise was evident in the men's faces as they stared at the children who ran as fast as their tiny feet could carry them, heading straight to the woods just as I had instructed them
"Well, what the fuck are you all waiting for?" Finch yelled, veins protruding from his lungs as he yelled in anger, "GET THEM!"
The children screamed loudly, their sound filled with terror as they ran. The sound also mixed with the voices of the guards who appeared from every corner. Unsheathing my sword that was around my waist, I raced forward. I leapt in the air, sticking my foot on the wall as I did a little run and then leapt from it kicking one of the guards right in the face. The moment my feet touched the ground, I didn't waste any time in jabbing my dagger in the throat of another guard.
From the corner of my eyes, I saw one of the guards running after the children, his arms outstretched to grab one of the smallest kids who was a little girl holding on to her brother's hand tightly. Without hesitation, I twisted and threw my dagger at him.
The dagger spun in the air a few times before it landed on its target. It hit the guard squarely in the back, causing him to fall down to the ground. The boy, bless him, didn't bother to stop to see what had happened, he grabbed his sister and continued running.
Immediately the guards noticed I was unarmed they advanced with eager smiles on their faces, probably thinking I would be easier prey now. One stepped forward, giving me a kick to my stomach. I was quick to block it but the impact still made stagger backwards. I was lucky I planted my feet to the ground or I would have fallen down. I made a move to get attack when I notice a flash of silver from the corner of my eyes. Instinctively, I leaned backwards, the sword passing between me and the other guard. Grabbing the guards arm, I pulled him closer to me. Shifting my stance, I used my strength to lift him up from the ground and slammed him down, hard!
His body hit the dirt with a thud and I grabbed his arm, twisting it to the side till he let go of his sword. I immediately picked it up turning to face the other guards who were now advancing towards me. One advanced forward, aiming for my chest. I side stepped, narrowly missing the attack, I then knelt down on the ground, turning with my sword as I made a sweeping arc which sliced through the guards legs causing him to fall down while howling in pain.
Fucking cowardly cunt! I thought to myself as I stared at the guard who was still howling and clutching his leg, the cut I had made was not even that deep!
