Welcome to the first chapter of Runaway Slave! This story will also be on Wattpad under the name of redsky7855 which will have photos and videos of certain things, if you want to check that out as well. I don't own anything except for my own characters and the beginning of the story plot. This is set during the AOE movie, but don't worry I've changed some of it.. in a way. But thanks for even checking this story out!
Runaway Slave
She bolted across the desert terrain with trembling limbs as she moved swiftly through the night, shouts behind yelled behind her as she rolled her eyes. A ray of bullets pelted at her as she dodged them to the best of best of her abilities but one pierced her right shoulder causing her to cry out. Pain flared down her arm as she stumbled before regaining her balance as she pushed herself forward with a huff.
"Get back here you pathetic worthless mutt!" One of the men shouted from behind her as another ray of bullets flew past her.
She ducked and tumbled before pulling herself upward as she urged herself faster, her body trembling at the pressure she was pushing her battered body. Her shackles restraining herself from using her long strides as she stumbled slightly but shook her head.
"Like I'm going back to that place you pig!" She screamed back as she charged forward, doing the best of her abilities to gain an advantage as the cool night air whipped at her hair.
Her eyes scanned the distance ahead of her, looking for some place to seek shelter and hide from the people advancing towards her with shotguns and whatever they had as she wasn't willing to look behind her. She pressed her hand to her wounded shoulder as blood dripped down onto her old dirty white cotton dress with a brown belt around her waist. The usual attire for a slave and gladiator of the region.
Zooming in on the distance, her sharp animal-like vision scanning the area as her eyes landed on an empty town, causing her to furrow her eyebrows in wonderment as to why it was completely empty. Why leave a perfectly good town? She ignored the tiny voice in the back of her head as she headed towards it, her feet pounding against the ground as her bare feet were coated in dried and fresh blood.
"You'll never escape us you MONSTER!" Another shouted from behind as she flinched at the term he had used as she clenched her fists as she pushed forward with a frown.
"Shut it you bloody pile of pancakes!" She snapped back, her eyes blazing with an untold anger as she gritted her teeth together as she started to near to empty town, her body tensing even more as she prepared herself for a battle that was soon to come.
She soon found herself running down the dusty road of the abandoned town, her eyes flickering from building to building as she rounded a corner as her eyes caught sight of an abandoned barn her eyes sparkling in hope before it was quickly demolished in a flash as she pushed herself forward. She quickly appeared at the barn doors as she scanned the large doors before she caught sight of a few weakened board as a smirk appeared before she reared back her leg and kicked it. The board broke with the pressure as she slipped inside, light streaming from the window above her as she moved herself deeper into the darkness the swallowed up her frail form.
She sucked in a deep breath as her chest heaved up and down in a rapid pattern as she caught her breath her body trembling as she dragged a hand through her tangled hair. Her back pressed up against something and that something happened to jolt and pull backwards as she let out a small yelp before falling backwards, blood splattering against the floor as she let out a small string of curse words as she laid, sprawled out.
Voices could be heard from outside the barn doors causing her to freeze, her eyes widening before narrowing as her body grew tense as she bolted upright, her body going into a battle stance as she went behind her and gripped the handle of her weapon, her thumb pressing against a button as said weapon transformers into that of a much larger weapon. She bit the bottom of her lip as she felt blood trickle into her mouth as she cringed at the taste as the doors suddenly burst open with a loud bang.
"Ello poppet!" The man sang with a sickly sweet voice causing her to gag as she stuck out her tongue in disgust.
"Bloody morons.." She mumbled as she stepped into view her body tense and eyes narrowed as she let out a low hiss.
Deep chuckles were heard as she watched them with calculating eyes as she stepped forward as a small grin appeared across her face as she hide her weapon by clicking the same button and hiding it from view.
"Pathetic, worthless little brat, no wonder he wants you killed!"
"Come closer and see what happens when you say that to my face!" She snapped as she tilted her head as she raised an eyebrow, keeping her emotions hidden as the men in front of her growled out.
One lunged forward as she pulled back her arm and punched him straight in the face, causing him to fly backwards into the barn wall with a 'crash'. She stepped back as her wings slowly began to slide out from the slits in her inner shoulder blades as she felt them raise as her wings slowly turned into metal. A smirk crossed her features as she shifted them causing a few to step back from the sudden change.
"Monster!" Few yelled out as they all pointed their guns in her direction as she let out a huff.
She hated people and she hated socializing with them as she watched them all lunge forward in attempt to weaken her already battered form. She swung her body around as her wings sliced through two men as she snapped her wings upright as she charged forward, her thumb pressing against the button as it quickly transformed into a beautiful scythe like sniper rifle. She raced forward, swinging her scythe to the side as she pressed the trigger and with the sudden force she cut the man in half.
(Search up RWBY Ruby's weapon but except for the main colour being red it's neon green.)
With a snarl she twirled around, raising her scythe forward as she brought it down upon a man as she pressed the trigger and with the momentum she sliced him in half. Blood splattered the ground as she continued to fight, using her weapon and wings at the same time.
Gunshots were heard as she swiftly dodged them, using her wings a shield of sorts as she charged forward again but the loud roar of an engine caused her to halt as she stepped back and swung herself sideways as she crouched down with a feral snarl, her lips curled back.
She snapped her attention towards two cars pulling forward, headlights shining through the darkness as she then turned her attention back towards the few men that survived as they all shouted in retreat and bolted.
She let out a snarl as she rattled her wings before folding them into her back as she fell onto her knees with a pained groan, she soon felt the pain full force as she coughed as blood trickled down the side of her chin. She had completely drowned out the angry roars of the two cars as she stared blankly at the wall in front of her with a glossy eyed-look.
Blood dripped down her shoulder as she finally snapped back into reality as she let out a hiss as she reached up and clutched her injured shoulder. She only small scratches from the scuffle as she dragged herself into a standing position, her body numb as her eyes trailed over towards the now silent cars as she raised a hand, dragging it through her hair as she blinked a few times.
"Well.. that just happened..." She trailed off with wide eyes but as soon as she showed emotion it quickly vanished to her blank expression as she let out a huff, letting her body collapse forward, face planting into the ground.
"Mother of pancakes.. I feel like utter shit." She groaned out as she kissed the ground before she let her wings slide back into the slits before she rolled onto her back with half-lidded eyes.
An engine revered its engine as she turned her head over towards the two cars as she furrowed her eyebrows as she let out a groan, flipping them off before letting her hand collapse onto the ground with a thump.
"Please shut it, my head is pounding." She grumbled as she rolled onto her uninjured side as she stared at them with blank eyes as the cherry red car rumbled in a sort of laugher while the golden yellow rumbled its engine.
She rubbed her temple as she pushed herself up as she flickered her gaze down to her wound as she side softly as her gaze then traveled down to her splattered dress. She bit the bottom of her lip as she reached over and yanked at the shackles before releasing her grip with a sigh as she stood up.
"Guess I'm a runaway slave.." She mused with a half hearted chuckle as she hobbled over towards her fallen weapon as she knelt down and pressed a button as it shifted back into its inactive state, and dragging it over towards the side before dropping it.
She then proceeded to drop her small backpack that looked like it had been run over a least five times. She dropped onto her butt as she blinked at the two cars with a tilt of her head as curiosity flowed through her.
She did wonder what they were, but she choice not to voice it out as she hummed softly as she finally collapsed onto the ground, her eyelids falling shut as she landed with a thud, passing out from the blood loss.
