Chapter 325 - The last one left (2)

Ed confidently smirked. "Are you saying that I just need to hit you few times and you are mine?"

Sarah solemnly nodded. She removed her backpack.

"Just a second." Sarah kept the backpack on the side, next to one large rock, and faced Ed.

He could not see her face clearly because it was dark. He assumed that she went crazy or something. But he will not miss this chance. They are by themselves, in the dark, far away from anyone else. Even without her saying anything he thought already few times just to jump on her. Like this, it will even be consensual!

"OK. You asked for it... don't blame me later." Ed hesitated for few seconds before rushing toward her, his arm reaching for her throat. His goal is to pin her down and make her admit a defeat without hurting her.

Sarah didn't move as he approached her.

Just as he thought that he will get to grip her throat with his arm, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and Sarah was on his right. Ed was stunned. 'Did she teleport, or what? I didn't see her move. And what is this pain in my right shoulder?' Confusion mixed with fear in him, as he realized that his whole right arm is numb, and he can't move it.

Sarah sneered at him. "Kick box. Shouldn't you be using your legs, to kick?"

Ed moved his leg toward her, but before his kick connected, both of his legs went numb. He fell on his knees, wondering what is going on. Sarah approached him slowly. Her eyes were cold. She hit his left shoulder and his left arm went numb as well.

"Now all your limbs are unusable. How does it feel?" Her cold voice sent chills down his spine.

Sarah went to her backpack, pulled out one camping lamp and three things that looked like high-tech syringes. Sarah walked to Ed and her palm was illuminated by the camping lamp.

"Recognize this?" She was holding one small black device. It was the same type that she had injected in her back.

Ed's eyes opened wide in horror when he recognized it. "What are you going to do with this?" It's very small, but he can tell what it is.

Sarah smiled. She enjoyed seeing terror in his eyes. "With this one? Nothing." She took three syringes. "But with these I will."

She walked to his back and lifted his shirt. Sarah took her time, her movements were slow.

"I will do what you finks did to me... This might hurt."

Ed moved his body away from her, but his legs and arms were not listening to him, and he fell flat on the ground, face first. He grunted in pain.

"Where are you going?" Sarah was exasperated. She moved closer to him and resumed her actions.

"This might hurt a bit, since there is no anesthetic…"

One by one, she pointed each of the syringe looking thing at his back and pushed a button. There was a faint "PAK" sound and Ed screamed. She waited for him to stop screaming before she proceeded with next one. Few minutes later, three streams of blood were oozing from small wounds on his back.

Sarah walked back and sat on one large rock, observing him whimper. Her expression was blank. After a long time, she spoke. "You are so weak. How did you even come to the idea to hurt me?"

"I didn't want to hurt you... I love you. I always did." Ed said through whimpers.

"Love?" Sarah was not sure she heard him right.

"Yes... I would give you anything. But you didn't want it from me."

Sarah frowned. "So, you decided to destroy a toy that you can't play with?"

"Toys I can part with... you are much more precious... that is why I was not able to come to terms that someone else has you." Ed explained himself. He looked pitiful.

Sarah observed Ed without a word. She checked the time. 'By now, mobility in his arms and legs should return.' Sarah knows by the way she hit his pressure points, it should be no more than half an hour until he can move again.

"Can you move now?" Sarah saw that Ed got startled. "If you can move, we can go a second round. Now that you know I will not just stand and wait to receive your attack, you can be serious."

Ed was not moving.

Sarah was sure that he is acting. "Come on... if you show me a good attack, my opinion of you might improve... now I see you as a wimp."

Provocation worked. Ed stood up, stretched his arms and looked at Sarah with contempt.

Sarah smiled and stood up from the rock. As soon as she made few steps toward him, Ed attacked with a swift kick. Sarah had no problems getting all his limbs numb again. After less than a minute, Ed was sprawled on the ground while Sarah was sitting on the rock, watching him with a blank expression.

"Still a wimp." She provoked him.

Ed was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

They went for three more rounds like that. Every time Sarah would hit his pressure points and Ed ended up on the ground.

"Still a wimp... useless. What's the point of all your training if you can't even hit a weak girl like me?" Sarah ridiculed him.

"Bitch!" Ed screamed.

"Master, Aiden is on Hill property and he is heading this way", Eve notified Sarah in her earpiece.

Sarah's heart skipped a beat. "How long until he comes here?"

"At this speed, two minutes, seven seconds.", Eve responded.

Sarah became anxious. This is the first time that she excluded Aiden and left him behind. She can guess that he will not be happy, but she is not sure of his current state. 'If he is really angry, he would not come here.'

Sarah knows that he found her through GPS in the promise ring. She was thinking of removing the ring, but she didn't want to put it in a location where signal could not be transmitted, that would get him very worried. Another option was that she keeps the ring somewhere else. That option would lead to the same result: he would find the ring, and flip when he sees that she is not there.

This was within her calculations: that Aiden will find a way to rush to her.

Sarah is only worried how angry he will be. She forgot about Ed who was on the ground few feet away from her.

Sarah's anxiety is increasing every second, with knowledge that Aiden is coming closer.
