Oh no! She just made her first kill! What will happen now? Will she fight or break down and cry? Who knows! The only option is to read to find out! XD
Recap: Her hands shook and it took all of her willpower not to break down and cry.
She had just made her first kill.
She pushed her horror to the side and swallowed the bile that welled up in her throat. She looked around and saw a necromonger standing a few feet further and was aiming at her. Sarina could just in time jump to the side and rolled clumsily before she quickly turned to the necromonger and fired her new gun at him. She hit him right in the head.
Standing up, she turned and saw a very familiar necromonger just turning her way.
"Vaako." she whispered softly and was about to shoot at him when someone grabbed her by her shoulders from behind. She was roughly thrown to the side and managed to place her hands, with her weapons in them, right in front of her or she would have bashed her head in the rocky wall next to her. Thinking quickly, she lifted her leg backwards as high as she could without looking. She felt her heel connect with something and when she put her foot down, she saw that she had hit a necromonger right in de groin. She bit back a chuckle and quickly lashed out with her dagger. She caught him right in the face from below the chin. The necromonger gurgled and Sarina again winced while a shudder wracked her body.
Shaking her head, she ran back to where she came from and with a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other, she ran back to where the others were. She ducked though when Vaako glanced her way and almost saw her through a hole in the boulder. She crawled on her heels further before going back to her feet and standing up with a bowed head to keep from being seen.
Her stomach roiled inside of her and she had to swallow a few times again to keep herself from throwing up. She felt something warm hit her arm and looked down. It was a tear. Blinking in surprise, she took a shaky breath and it was only then that she noticed she was crying.
"No turning back now." she whispered softly to herself and ran around the hill and climbed up along the side again.
She saw Riddick and the others battling the necromongers a bit further. She quickly jumped down and ran a bit further before climbing up the hill again and crawled forwards army style. She looked down over the edge and saw her friends battling the necromongers there. Smirking she looked around and saw a merc sneaking up behind Riddick.
Narrowing her eyes, she aimed and fired. She missed. The necromonger noticed a shot land next to his feet and looked up. Sarina took the chance of his stilled position and fired again. This time she hit him and made him fly back. Riddick snapped his head up and saw Sarina glance at him and nodded. He stared for a moment longer before his attention was brought back to the necromongers when one jumped in front of him.
She took a breath before she stood up and looked down. "Here goes nothing." she murmured and waited until a necromonger was under her and jumped down.
She landed right on top of him and both of them fell to the ground. Sarina quickly used her dagger and with a bit of twisting her body, she managed to stab him in the neck. She was about to stand up when she was viciously kicked in the face.
She fell back with a cry of pain and held her mouth. Pain shot like searing fire through her mouth.
She tasted a copperish taste in her mouth.
It even trickled down the corner of her mouth. Knowing it was her blood she spit it out and looked up. Her eyes widened when she saw a large hammer-like axe come down at her.
Thinking quickly, she rolled backwards and landed in a crouch.
She lifted her gun and quickly fired at the necromonger. He flew back a couple of feet and landed on the ground without getting back up. She turned her attention to the others and saw a few necromongers around Riddick and started shooting the ones that were further away from him. She didn't want to take the chance of hitting Riddick.
The numbers dwindled quickly for the necromongers around Riddick and he began moving forwards. Suddenly a gun was fired and the friend of Guv flew back.
"Sybar!" she heard Guv cry but forced herself to ignore him in favor of dodging a necromonger who ran towards her.
She quickly tried another back kick when she successfully dodged him and felt it hit something. Though there was no time to check because another necromonger came at her. She dodged the swipe meant for her head and stabbed forwards with her dagger. Sadly, the armor was too thick for her and she only succeeded in making her arm tingle.
The necromonger growled and brought his sword up and Sarina quickly jumped to the side. She landed half on her knees and half on her arm. Ignoring the pain, she felt there and turned around to see the man already walking over to her. She quickly held her gun up and fired a shot at him. He was send flying.
Standing back up, she turned around only to see a blade coming down towards her head. It was only because of pure reflex that she held up her gun and dagger with both hands and blocked the swipe that was meant for her head.
She struggled to keep the blade away from her head but because of the force behind the swipe the necromonger's blade managed to still cut her cheek.
Sarina ignored the pain in both her cheek as well as her hand and looked up.
She looked at the necromonger and twisted her body a bit and kicked out with her foot. The necromonger barely moved an inch from the kick and she had only managed to push herself a bit away from him. Taking the chance, she lashed out with another kick but this time, aimed for his sword. She successfully kicked it up and quickly aimed her gun at the man and fired it. She then stood up and looked around, trying to find Kyra and Riddick.
She found them and noticed Kyra was in trouble.
A necromonger held her by her hair and was trying to slice her throat with his dagger. Sarina ran over to them but before she could get to the necro, Riddick had already thrown a knife at him, getting him right in the eye.
Sarina turned her gaze to the left and saw two necromongers coming her way. Cursing, she ignored the protests of her tired limbs and ran towards the nearest necromonger. He held an axe-like hammer and swung it the moment she was near. Sarina ducked her head and with a cry she rammed her dagger in the side of his armor under his left arm.
She had to use quite a bit of strength in her hand and managed to twist the dagger but at the same time she felt the throbbing pain of the cut in her hand.
With a sickening squelch she pulled the dagger back out and ran towards the next necromonger. She saw him aiming his gun at her and quickly jumped to the side. She hissed in pain at the landing but forced herself to ignore it and aimed her gun at him and fired. She missed. Growling in frustration, she scrambled to get herself up again and clumsily dodged the necromonger's next shot. She stumbled to a stop and fired at him again. She hit him in the leg and made him twist around only for his face to meet the ground harshly.
"No!" she heard Kyra cry out and glanced over to where she was but could only see Vaako and a couple of necromongers walk towards something. Knowing it was Riddick, she looked around and found a boulder to hide behind. She saw almost a dozen necromongers walk out of the hangar. Cursing softly, knowing she wouldn't stand a chance if she started firing at them.
She saw Guv suddenly jump at Vaako and threw him to the ground, only for Vaako to twist in the air towards him and pushed him away. Guv flew back and smacked against the boulder behind him and landed face-down on the ground. Sarina knew what would happen and wanted to help him but she was outnumbered here.
Vaako lifted Guv's half-conscious body up above his head and then brought him down on his knee. A sickening crack was heard and she knew that his spine was broken and he himself was dead.
She took a shaky breath and looked over the boulder and saw Kyra attacking the necromongers that were going for Riddick. Frowning, she decided to risk it and came up from behind the boulder. She ran forwards and shot at three necromongers. Hitting two of the three. She ran towards the third one and fired her gun again.
"Get up. Get up." she heard Kyra faintly say.
Sarina glanced over at Riddick and clenched her teeth. She didn't like the sight. It made him seem helpless.
"Come on, Riddick. Get up." she said loud enough for him to hear.
She had let her guard down. A necromonger took advantage of that and grabbed her by her upper arms. Gasping in surprise, she began struggling to get loose but his grip was too strong. An idea formed in her head and before she knew what she was doing, she aimed her gun down at his feet and fired. Sadly, she was standing too close and the shot not only blew away the necromonger, but her too. She flew through the air, her body twisting around as she let out a cry. She landed on her back right where Kyra had stood. But she was gone. She had to run to avoid the necromongers from catching her.
Sarina tried to breathe but no air came into her lungs because of the landing. Tears started rolling down her cheeks from the pain and stung the cut on her cheek. She now knew how Riddick felt. She could barely move. The gun she had used laid a foot away to her left while the knife lay in her other trembling hand. She tried to grab it but her body wouldn't obey.
That was chapter 36! I'm on a roll here folks!
