463 Pia 2

*Boom!* Boom* *BOOM!*

The sounds of Mano and Cohnal fighting drew Saavi and Celaena towards the center of the estate.

Once they followed the noise, they found themselves in the middle of mayhem. They could see unidentified soldiers everywhere. Killing was happen at every turn while servants and clan members tried to escape.

Debris, blood, and corpses covered the ground as shouts and scream litter the sky.

"Who are we fighting?" Celaena turn to look at Saavi, who couldn't make sense of which party is which. They couldn't blinding start attacking soldiers without knowing who they were fighting, could they?

"Ugh, this is no good-ha!" Saavi blocked an attack from a servant with an spear in his hands.

They tussled for a few moment before Celaena lent a helping hand by hitting him over the head with a rock once there was an opening.

The servant fell to the floor in a death heap.

"Well, that was fun-watch out!" Celaena yelled as she quickly froze two more servants in place as they tried to attack Saavi from behind.

Surprised by the sudden attack, Saavi hesitated for a second which could have been the end for her if the attack went through.

"Thanks…"She breath out, patting Celaena on the back before hitting the two servants over the head, knocking them out.

"We need to keep moving. If we stay here, the attacks will never end."

"En…" Saavi searched the area for a path away from this mess, "...there!" She pointed to an alleyway that was blocked by a couple of boulders from the damage structures.

"Once we get through there, it should quiet down and I should be able to get my bearings."

They ran towards the dark opening, all the while pushing and fighting attackers away from themselves.

"Argh-ha!…"

"Aaah!"

They reached the alleyway just a the rest of the side buildings collapsed, blocking the entire entrance from everyone else.

"Phew…cough cough!" Celaena patted her chest then placed her hand in front of her face to stop the dust from entering her lungs.

"Let's take a break before continuing on." Saavi leaned against a wall with her arm over her face.

"En."

They had ran straight down the alleyway without stopping once they saw the building was about to collapse. With only a few feet from the exit they caught their breath before peek out around the corner.

"Is the coast clear?" Saavi asked as she wiped her face free dust.

"Erm...no, there seems to be a group of soldiers down this way."

"What? This way too?" Saavi moved over to her side to see for herself.

Peeking over, she could see the soldiers down the way, but she also noticed that they were fighting someone.

"I think their opponent is a maid." Celaena filled in.

"…." Saavi didn't respond as she eyes were glued to the maid's figured. It seem familiar somehow.

"Hey!"

The closer Saavi got to the group the better she could make out the figure of the maid.

The group of soldiers had drag Pia all the way back out of the alleyway, where she fought off their hands to run, only to be captured again.

This time they huddled around her making sure she couldn't get away. 

Fighting with all her might, Pia was exhausted from running all over the estate and now fighting with trained soldiers.

Her moves had soon slowed down and her body began getting more and more bruises from their hits.

The males pulled at her clothes causing tears and rips to appear every so often.

Every time more of her clothes would rip, shouts and cheers would be heard.

She knew she was in a dire situation, but she couldn't think of how she could get herself out of it. 

When her shirt was almost off her body, she looked up to see furious eyes staring back at her.

"Saavi?" Pia's voice was but a whisper, however, her expression caused some of the males to look behind them.

"There another one...When did you get here?"

"Want to join in some fun?"

Two soldiers, at seeing Saavi approach them, laughed and leer at her body.

Saavi was silent as she looked at her mentor, who face was bruised and obviously exhausted, but was still putting up a fight. She lost all her reasoning.

The two soldiers, who were standing in front of her, reached out to grab her arms to drag her over to the group.

"Aaaaah!"

A high pitch wail was heard as one of the soldier dropped to the ground nursing a broken arm.

"You!...bitc-cough cough!"

The other went to slap Saavi in the face, but instead received quick jabs to the throat and nose.

Noticing the commotion, the other males stopped messing with Pia and all turned to look at Saavi.

Getting a better look at Pia, Saavi saw her ripped clothes that were barely hanging on her body.

"You mother*beep* *beeeep* *beep* *beep beep beeeeep* *beep* I going to beat the *Beepbeep beep* out of you!"

The leader of the soldier looked at Saavi then at his two men wailing on the ground in pain.

"You have a dirty mouth...I guess we need to teach you some manners…" He looked to his right, sending four of his men to her.

"Okay, little missy. Come her-"

"Punch yourselves in the face." Saavi spoke softly, but the harsh command was still there.

The four soldiers swiftly punched themselves hard in the face.

"What the…!?" A look of shock was on the leader's face before anger set in, "Are you idiots! Why would you listen to her!"

Another male ran out with his sword in hand.

Saavi looked his way, "Chop off your own leg."

And just as swiftly as the first four, the soldier cut through skin, muscles, and bone in his own leg with one clean swing of his sword.

"AAAAH!" The male fell to the ground, crying out in pain as blood gushed from his severed leg.

Now the rest of the soldiers were scared. They backed way from Saavi, like she was their worst nightmare come to life.
