Evangelina POV
I backed up quickly and side stepped to his right before jumping backwards as his arm swung around trying to grab me, my hat flew of landing at the woods edge. I kept dodging for a few minutes before he managed to release the hold on the machete as he swung at my legs unexpectedly. I yelped loudly as the cold blade sliced my left leg deeply just above my knee. We both looked to the wound and then he stared at me awaiting my reaction. I grinned widely before reaching in my satchel pulling the 7 inch long dagger out and balancing it gently in my right hand. I swore he smirked and then lunged again. I could feel the wound pounding with pain and the warm blood cling to my jeans making them heavy.
I dodged and skipped away leaping towards the woods before backing around and twirling around knowing if I entered the woods I would lose, he knew them more than I ever would. I ran towards the stone pile and I heard his heavy footsteps following. When I reached them I climbed up looking for him in the shadows. There was no moon making it hard to determine where abouts he was.
Suddenly a hard hand shoved me forwards making me shriek lightly as I went tumbling down the pile and landing in a painful heap at the bottom my feet touching the cold lake causing a echo of ripples to branch out before fading. My head was pounding painfully making it hard to breath as I untangled myself as my left foot was spread into the lake and my right was crumpled under me from where I tried to catch myself, my left arm was crossed over my chest and my right was holding onto the large boulder. Taking a deep breath I heaved myself up quickly as I remembered what was happening before looking around for the dagger. I had lost it.
Groaning I jumped up swaying slightly before spinning looking for Jason, I saw him stood at the top of the rock pile holding my dagger as if saying 'you want it come and get it!' I scowled and started storming back to my cavern hearing him follow I went a little faster. When I was a few feet away I finally noticed my face seemed numb, reaching up I searched my face lightly before gasping, above my right eyebrow reaching to the middle of my hairline was a gash and it was bleeding badly. Trying to stem the bleeding I used my cardigans sleeve to block the blood and I finally felt how numb my body was and where it wasn't numb it was VERY painful. Limping to my fallen satchel I grabbed it and stumbled into my cavern lighting as many candles as I could before falling to the floor and leaning against my bed facing the door.
Pulling out the mini medical kit I emptied the contents on the floor next to me before I groaned and got back up trying to find a mirror. I paused at hearing footsteps enter the cavern, turning slightly I held my finger up in the '1 minute' gesture before grabbing a mirror from the bathroom and falling back to my place where the medical kit was laid out. Setting the mirror in front of me so I could see my head wound I started cleaning it ignoring the annoyed giant standing in the corner.
When I admitted it needed stitches I searched for a little sewing kit. As I spotted it though I started to feel dizzy, cursing I noted how much blood I must have lost, my leg had clotted by now but it was bleeding a lot, my head started bobbing in a attempt to stay awake but it did nothing as my legs lost feeling. I started to crumble to the floor groaning at the pains that had awoken in my body. I finally collapsed gasping and trying to focus on something. Coughing from the dusty floor my eyes flickered unconsciously before everything went black.
Jason's POV
The strange girl had passed out from what I assume was blood loss. This made it easier to kill her. I went and stood over her with my machete ready but I couldn't kill her. Sighing I returned my chosen weapon to the sheath and leaned down picking the girl up bridal style. I trudged to her bed and put her down gently before examining her wounds. After searching I fixed her up for now bandaging her leg after cleaning the wound and applying bits of medical tape along her head wound holding it together before placing a large plaster over it. I stood back looking at her and thinking.
She was different her innocent face and beauty did make me stop from killing her straight away but I convinced myself it was to make sure she was alone. But when I found she was indeed alone it couldn't help but ask why? She was attractive, must have known the stories of me or she wouldn't have had weapons. But she didn't run, scream and cry begging mercy and THAT was what made me stop, she fought back laughing as though it were a game. She didn't cry when she hurt herself and treated me like a person, not the monster I was. Nodding to myself I tried contacting mother but got no response, sighing I picked her up gently and wrapped her in some of the blankets on her bed before returning home to the mine shaft. She would be mine. And she would never leave, my good girl...
