Chapter 34
Jake
We got off ok on our trek up the mountain side. My guess, we were about half way up when Ax saw something following us in the bushes.
((Prince Jake, I believe we are being followed.)) He had said. We stopped, and watched the bushes. Nomikna seemed satisfied with Ax's warning, and I couldn't figure out why. I was beginning to think we shouldn't trust her. She didn't make sense, none of these people made sense, now that I thought about it. Before I could voice my concerns to my friends, we were surrounded by the winged-less Isriska all with arrows pointed at us.
((We're doomed.)) Marco stated, in what I thought was probably private thought-speak, but you can never be sure of anything with Marco.
((Prince Jake, if I may, I might be able to knock some of them unconscious before the others realize it.)) Ax suggested. I counted the people surrounding us. There were six…no, five of us. Nomikna was no where to be seen. Probably hiding somewhere. There were probably 20 or 30 surrounding us. Not good odds.
((Do it Ax, but don't hurt anyone too badly. If you can get out, make a run for it. If one of us can get to the Rewolf, I believe we will all be brought back to Earth…)) I said.
((Jake, can you be sure?)) Cassie asked me. No, I mentally answered. But we had to try, so I made the decision.
((Cassie, if you can make a break for it, get to the Rewolf. Marco, Rachel, Ax and I will try to keep them busy. Marco and Rachel, if you can, try to remorph battle morphs but only do it if you can do it safely. Ax, on the count of three.)) I ordered.
((Yes Prince Jake. I am ready.))
((1…2…3!)) Ax's tail hit the three closest Isrika and knocked them unconscious. The other's all fired their arrows with a ffitt and we all managed to dodge them.
I leaped at the closest Isrika and pinned him to the ground. He dropped his arrows and went sprawling. He tried to scratch at me, but I let out a loud roar that scared about 5 of them and sent them running away. The one I had pinned coward slightly. I backed off him and he dashed away.
I glanced quickly to see how my friends were doing. Rachel and Marco were still wolves. One of them was currently gnawing on an ankle and the other was dodging arrows. Ax was knocking out Isrika with his tail. He had an arrow pierced through one of his arms. Cassie wasn't anywhere to be seen. Good, I thought. She's after the flower. I heard a crunching of leaves and I turned around to see Nomikna firing an arrow at me. I didn't have time to move before it pierced me through my chest between my front paws. I let out a roar of pain, and staggered to the ground. Nomikna wore a smirk on her face. My chest hurt where the arrow was, I tried to get up, but it hurt too much. My vision began to blur. She knelt beside me, her wings open and I remembered thinking she looked like an angel.
"Good bye Jake." She said, and I swear her eyes flashed red before I lost consciousness and lost myself in blackness.
RG13: I know, but I had to do some romance since I had to exclude Tobias from this section. :D Though I do like J/C a lot…
TH: I think she's venting some steam right about now. ;D
C101:D Exactly. Hope you enjoyed these last couple chapters.
Quillian oh yes, that is so true :D and add on top of that my friend having a seizure…just hasn't been a good couple of weeks for me. But hey, it's all good now…hopefully.
