After i had met the delightful friends of kasumi, they began talking about moving again. There was no way i would trek through a forest with kids like these! They would probably wind up heading towards the fire anyway.
So i quietly slinked away, not that kasumi wouldnt notice. She wanted me gone asap!
I said i wouldnt trek with them but that doesnt mean i wouldnt TRACK them.
Sprinting ahead, i heard wings and gruff voices of men. Hunters and prey.
There was a small bat halfbreed trying in vain to fly away from the hunters. I was an assassin but i wasnt heartless.
"hey there, tough guy," i called to him.
Boy, was he surprised to see a girl like me out in the middle of the forest! I walked closer and twirled my long braid.
"why dont you pick on someone your own size? Im sure a horse is much better than a bat!" i told him.
He just laughed,"YOU are my size?! Little girl youre in over your head!"
Pulling out my pearl-gun, i got in his face and whispered,"actually, im pretty sure that YOU are in over your head."
I pryed the kid from the paws of the monster and flipped the hunter. His companion pulled out a rifle and shot a bullet at the kid. Whhat a cowardly move! He knew it wouldnt hurt me so he attcked the unprotected!
I shot him through the heart and blocked the bullet before the kid could even cower.
The others took a look at their comrade and ran for it. What cowards!
The kid looked surprised and had morphed back into his human form.
"kid, you ok?" i asked him.
Cotinue?
