I could sense the bullets flying our way, and I pushed Asuka to the side. A bullet exploded into the dirt where she had been only seconds before. I told her to catch up with the front of the group and tell them what was going on since she was the fastest of the two of us. I turned to Zero, who had stopped.
"Come on Zero, let's just keep going," I called, and he ran back towards me.
I could smell blood from up ahead. Some of us had been hit. I looked up into the sky and saw an eagly falling. Abby! I caught her before she hit the ground. I handed her to the snow leapord who had come back for her, and I urged them to go.
I dodged the gun shots and tore into the trees where the cover would protect me a little bit, as the others had done. I crept low to the ground where it would be harder to see me, therefore hit me. I couldn't see the others; I had no idea where Asuka or Zero or anyone else was.
Crouching, I stelthily inched farther from the gunshots, which were still going off behind me. I was about to jump down from a ledge, when someone talkled me to the ground, pinning me so that I couldn't get up.
My attacker let out a horrible laugh. "So, you thought you could get away from me, didn't you. I have been searching everywhere for you."
I cursed to myself. I had been careless and hadn't covered up my tracks. Because of my recklessness, Kurtz had found me. Kurtz being the one man who had ever caught me, and I being the only one who had ever escaped his wrath. I struggled, but he bound my feet and I couldn't move.
"Even if you do kill me, the others will stop you," I told him; I couldn't think of anything else to say.
"Maybe," he nodded. "But I doubt that."
