Why wasn't I quick enough? How was he able to get so close before I could even point my gun? I'm cybernetic, I shouldn't be beat by a human boy. I'm not good enough for Hilshire…I must improve.
"Hey Triela!"
I snapped out of it, finding myself left behind as Henrietta and Angelica had knocked down the door and had started searching the building.
"Stay focused, catch-up with the others."
I could hear Hilshire speaking through my ear piece, he was watching from a car close by, along with Jose and Marco. He was always so determined, not sure on what but I could tell he was determined on something, something about me, and there was no way in hell I would let him down.
As I began to run into the building, I lost track of the girls, I guess I was on my own for now. I walked up the stairs, with a good grip of my M1897 Trench Shotgun. Turning around the corner, I fired twice, instantly killing two men. Another came through the open door closest to me, shooting a bullet through my right arm, making me drop my gun. I quickly took out my knife and stabbed the man through the middle of his head.
There was a slight sound of a knife being drawn from behind, without a second thought I turned and swung my right foot around, hitting him in the stomach. Now I was facing my opponent, the first thing I glanced at was that familiar red shirt. It was him, Pinocchio, this was it, I had to kill him, here and now.
Gripping onto his knife, he swung his left arm, I swiftly dodged his attacks, returning with the knife I held, but he was also quick on his feet. He went to swing his knife again, this time I blocked it with my knife, his knife flung away from him and landed on the ground. This was my chance to attack, I jabbed my knife forward, but he took hold of my arm and pulled me close.
His grip was tight around my wrist, he didn't try to attack, but he did something else. He leaned forward and kissed me. I wasn't sure how to react, or what to do, I felt weak, I lost my grip of the knife. Then I felt it, he let go of my arm, I moved back, finding a knife pierced through my stomach. Looking down, I pulled out the knife, blood began gushing out, it was a deep cut, looking up I saw Pinocchio running away. I could still go after him, but, I didn't know what to do at that moment, would I kill him once I caught him again? Blood was spilling out from my arm and my stomach, I felt dizzy, before I knew it I was lying on the ground, I was laying there for a while, motionless, soon I heard echoed voices around me, everything went black.
