She shot another man who was nearest to Lucian but farthest to her. Her eyes were determined to take all of them down and thanks to the hellish training Damien had given her, not a single shot was missed.
How happy he would have been if he would have heard her pronouncing his name properly. Oh great! Now I am missing him when so many men are ready to attack me. She muttered in her head as she took another aim but this time it was not simple.
All of them had already started walking towards the tree with an intention to kill her. She could feel their bloodlust had risen higher and soon she would lose her life.
She tried her best to concentrate and once again shot the one who was spouting nonsense at the start and looking at her with lecher eyes.
This time, the shot missed and instead of hitting his vital parts, the gun hit his side abdomen yet the blood started flowing speedily standing his shirt red and he glared at her.
She failed to understand he was so worried about the gunshot or his shirt when she saw him flaring up.
But others were faster than him now. Soon they all overtook him to reach her when Lucian finally came back to his senses and attacked the shot man.
“Fuck! They are attacking from both sides. I think it is planned in advance!” shouted another as they lost two of their comrades while they were not able to kill any of them yet.
“So what, we are still 5, outnumbering them by almost thrice.
Make pairI will handle the girl with Miren while both of you go and attack the man again.
“Tsk, you are noisy!” she muttered as she shot another one but this time, his comrade pushed him away and the bullet was only able to graze his hands a bit.
“This woman! You are surely going to pay.” he muttered as he caught the pace and ran towards the tree but it would still take a long time and a patient moment to climb the tree.
And that would be the perfect moment for her to shoot. They realized that they had fallen into her trap, the moment they let her climb the tree.
He raised his head and glared at her only to see mockery in her eyes as if she was looking down on them which was enough to infuriate him.
She was nothing but a young girl! How dare she think that she was higher than them.
“Just you wait, bitch!” he roared as he tried to shake the tree but it was too strong to be swayed easily.
She trembled for a second before holding herself properly and shooting another with a gun. This time the shot was on the centre of head since she was only able to see that part from the branch but it guaranteed death as soon blood started to flow out of his head.
While on the other side, Lucian had already got hold of the two men fighting with him. One had already fallen on the ground while the other was holding his last breaths while covering his wounds from his hands but this was not enough.
After slashing the neck of the other, he walked towards the tree with an attempt to kill all of them when another one was shot and the aim hit at his neck. He fell on the ground and cried the most but soon, his body started to give up on his struggles and his body fell limp on the ground.
“Are all of them done?” she asked as she scanned the surroundings. It would be a lie if she would say that she was not scared and could handle more. Only the last bullet was left. And though she had more to fill again, she was sure if she would take so much time, they would already pull her back on the ground and kill her after beating her and take their revenge.
Just when she thought that all of them were done and was going to ask him to scan the area properly, a knife flew in the air towards her. When she felt the sound of the wind cutting, she tried to move away but there was not much space and it was already too late.
The knife grazed her shoulder before hitting the branch behind her. She looked in the direction where the knife was thrown but only the darkness of night mocked her eyes.
“Stay there, I will go and look!” Lucian who was still on the ground and had already beaten the rest ran towards the direction before staring at her one more time when she nodded giving him assurance.
She had thought that it would only take a few more minutes but it had been several minutes yet he did not return, making her anxious.
In the meanwhile the sound of crying and shouting increased from the house.
She knew that it could be a trap for her. She knew that the sudden loud cries just when he had left was too much of a coincidence.
She even knew that there could be many more armed men inside the house who were already prepared for her.
There might be a chance that they were already keeping an eye on her all this while that was why they thought it was a perfect opportunity to lure her in and kill her.
But was she safe on this tree? Even if she was, then for how long?
If Lucian did not return soon then they could come here and drag her out of here. After all, she only has one bullet left. How long could she survive with it?
“Please.. Save me!”
“Cry”:
“Sob sob”
The sound of the cries and pleads increased once again and she cursed under her breath as she started getting down from the tree slowly.
“Damn it! Let’s see how strong I am now!”
