I'm listening to music while writing this so don't be surprised if something totally random pops up. I do that a lot when listening to music. Don't know why. I just do.
On with the show!!
Kidnapped
Chapter 14
Ulrich was lying face down on the ground. Yumi was screaming. Jared and Cosmo were laughing their heads off. Reinforcements were on the way. Who knew if they would get there in time?
Jared had slashed at Ulrich, catching him in the stomach. Ulrich already had a gash going across his right eye now. Yumi had been beaten. Bruises were already forming from five minutes ago. They were dark bruises.
Ulrich stood up again, holding his torso, like that would stop the bleeding long enough for him to get help. It just might too. He'd already lived through falling off a cliff, being tossed around through insane rapids, and having injuries on top of that.
"How many times do we have to kill you?!" Jared yelled, and fired his gun at Ulrich. Ulrich quickly sidestepped the shot as soon as Jared had pulled the trigger.
"You handle him, I'll take care of the girl," Cosmo said, moving in on Yumi.
"Stay away from me," Yumi warned. "I'm only warning you once."
"Ha, ha; I like 'em feisty!" Cosmo said, unsheathing his dagger.
Yumi ran right up to Cosmo and kicked him in the gut before he even knew what was happening.
"That was for hitting me with the van," Yumi said. She kicked Cosmo below the belt. "That was for what you did to Ulrich."
"You taking all your anger out on me?" Cosmo asked through clenched teeth.
"I'm taking everything out on you!" Yumi yelled, placing a hard round house kick on his shoulder, dislocating his arm.
"Ah! You'll pay for that brat!"
"Come and get me! I've got a score to settle with you, and then when you're down I'll finish the score with your pal!" Yumi said, kicking Cosmo in the face.
Meanwhile Ulrich was dodging bullets, waiting for Jared to run out. This actually happened two minutes after the first shot. Ulrich charged Jared, pushing him right into a tree. Hard.
Jared held his shoulder, now slightly dislocated. With an audible pop he pushed it back into place. As soon as Jared finished that Ulrich uppercut him, practically breaking his jaw.
"That was for pushing me off a cliff." Ulrich grabbed Jared's dagger off the ground and made a gash down his arm. "That was for torturing me."
"You gonna stoop to my level, get back at me for all we did to you?" Jared asked, still holding his jaw.
"No, I'm gonna stoop lower. I'm actually gonna finish the job," Ulrich said. He didn't care if he was punished for this. He could go to jail, but at least then he'd be safe.
A squirrel fell from a tree, landing right on Jared's head. After scratching his face up the squirrel scampered back up the tree.
Ulrich threw the dagger at Jared, pinning his left shoulder to the tree. He then took Jared's right arm, and snapped it. Even Yumi and Cosmo could hear the crack.
That crack distracted Yumi though, and Cosmo took the only chance he could get and lunged at Yumi. She screamed. They rolled on the ground for a bit, Yumi holding the dagger at bay inches from her throat.
"How do you think you'll look, covered in blood?" Cosmo asked her. He then laughed, and pushed down harder. It was all Yumi could do to roll over so that Cosmo was under her. She pushed back down.
"Why don't we find out how you look?" she hissed back at him through clenched teeth.
Cosmo kicked Yumi off of him, launching her into a tree. Yumi fell to the ground, unconscious. Cosmo took out his gun, but he didn't get to use.
Ulrich slammed into Cosmo, throwing his aim off considerably. The shot meant for Yumi's head went into Jared's stomach.
"You'll pay for that!"
"Just put it on my bill," Ulrich said, wrenching the gun free from Cosmo's hand. Ulrich threw it into the woods.
"Ulrich, Yumi, are you guys out here?" Ulrich heard someone yell. Only one person in the world had a voice like that, and his name is Odd Dellarobia.
"We're over here Odd!" Ulrich yelled, still struggling with Cosmo.
"Stay back if you want to see them alive!" Cosmo said.
"You can't kill us even if you actually tried! I've proved that point already," Ulrich said. He was making sure to keep his voice laud so that Odd and whoever else was with him could find them.
"Ulrich are you okay?" Odd yelled. His voice was closer, definitely closer.
"Not really, and I'll be even worse if you take any longer!" Ulrich replied.
"How's Yumi?" Odd asked. Closer still.
"She's unconscious right now, but other than that she should be- OW!" Ulrich was thrown off of Cosmo and sent rolling on the ground. Cosmo ran for his gun, grabbed it, and fired at Ulrich. It was a hit.
Ulrich clutched his chest, knowing that this would be the end. Yumi woke up then, and saw Ulrich holding his chest. He wasn't falling over dead though. He didn't even look like he was going to die. He looked fine, like he did everyday.
"What does it take to kill you?!" Cosmo said, charging Ulrich. Ulrich was distracted too, so it was a great thing that Yumi was awake and paying attention. She rammed Cosmo as he ran by, sending the two of them flying. Yumi took the gun from his hand and without a second thought she fired at the only place she could get to: his head.
Immediately Cosmo stopped fighting her. His eyes rolled back in his head as he went limp. Yumi stood up and backed away. She had killed him. Now she was having second thoughts, but this was something she couldn't take back.
She ran over to Ulrich, who was still standing and looking extremely perplexed.
Odd came running over to them then; he leaned down on his knees to catch his breath.
"I'm glad you guys are okay," Odd said. He hadn't actually gotten a good look at Ulrich yet.
"Um, not really," Ulrich said. Odd looked at him then. He saw the scar across Ulrich's eye, saw his blood soaked shirt. Odd's eyes widened in shock.
"How are you alive?" he asked.
"I don't really know, but I don't think I should push my luck much farther. The sooner I get to a hospital the better," Ulrich said. That's when the police came over and assessed the situation.
-End of Chapter 14-
Wasn't as random as I thought it might be. The squirrel was just out of boredom.
I need to know what you think. You need to review. I haven't gotten many lately and it makes me think that no one likes the story. If I don't get at least four reviews for this chapter I'm not going to continue.
