Chapter 12 is here ladies and gentlemen! Don't run away! Stay and read! Enjoy!
"Huff....huff....huff..."
Haia tried not to look scared as she glanced at where Rolan had struck. His katana was covered with Haia's blood and it was hard to tell where he had struck her in the chest.
She felt the vital fluid creeping up her throat and started choking violently; she felt herself starting to slip into unconsciousness but Rolan wanted to keep her alive and watch her suffer so he whips out his katana out and kicks Haia hard in her chest.
As she hit the ground her eyes burst open and the pain seemed to consume her alive. She tries to back away by scooting her gory body as far away as she could from Rolan; but the further she tried to get, the closer he menacingly stepped.
Haia knew that she was wasting precious time so she tried to quicken the pace. But Rolan had other plans. He took two ends of Haia's broken double sided spears and stabbed them into Haia's hands.
"AAaaaaaaahhhh!"
Haia squeezed her eyes shut, in both pain and in fear; not wanting to see what else he had done to her.
"Yes Haia, scream all you wish because that's all you'll be able to do now that I've got you in an inescapable situation. You should've been smarter than this little Haia. You should've known that I would be victorious from the start,"
Rolan chuckled
"but of course you are inexperienced and naïve just like your mother."
That struck an extremely sensitive nerve in Haia; She growled, with slight chokes in between. She looks at her hands that were spewing more crimson blood and then at Rolan, who was positioning his katana above her head and getting ready to annihilate Haia.
"It's a real pity that your parents aren't alive to watch you die. I would have loved to see Ivil's heart break more." Rolan smirked as he spoke in a creepy tone.
"I'm glad they won't." Haia murmured softly.
Rolan looked displeased by Haia's reaction and gripped his katana stronger and lifted it higher above her head.
"You don't deserve to have lived this long; you should've perished when my dad killed you." Haia said coldly, choking from the blood in her throat.
"Shut up! After all these centuries I've finally gotten my revenge and I WILL enjoy it. Now Haia......let me have the pleasure of killing you as I did with your brother!"
Rolan's katana seemed to take forever to reach Haia and she dreaded those seconds so much.
"I'm so sorry mom, I'm sorry dad, I am SO sorry Sorin. I've failed." Haia thought to herself as a single tear escaped her eyes.
Rolan's katana was inches, bare inches away from Haia's head......and he suddenly stopped. His ears perked up and the sound of trees rustling became increasingly louder. That stopped and up above where Rolan stood three bowmen; bows drawn and arrows burning an excruciating red.
One of them was Talon!
"DIE ROLAN!!" Talon shouted as all three released their arrows simultaneously. Two arrows landed in the heart and the arrow that Talon shot made a successful hit directly square in Rolan's forehead.
Rolan made no sounds as those arrows hit and stood frozen for what seemed like an eternity. Talon and the two bowmen jumped softly down and headed towards Haia, who was on the verge of unconsciousness.
Talon ordered one bowman to carry the body of Rolan and the other to carry Sorin's while he tended to Haia. He removed the broken spears from her hands and the star from her left collarbone. He took a roll of gauze from his pocket and started to cover her wounds.
"Don't worry sweetie, he's gone for sure this time." Talon said in a soothing tone as he took a moment to stroke Haia's blood soaked midnight hair.
Haia's eyes shone as she slowly glanced from her left and to Talon. She struggled to talk but the obstruction in her throat clogged up the majority of her airway. She started to choke loudly, with gasps for air in between, as she lifted her right hand slowly.
Her hand was inches from Talon's face but before it could reach, it fell back down on the ground and Haia's eyes seemed to shut simultaneously; as they closed, Haia heard the voice of a familiar man scream echoing "Haia! Don't die!"

"Welcome back to the land of the living Ivil, Hiei." Ivy spoke from the end of Ivil's bed as they regained consciousness. Talon was sitting in a chair at the opposite end of the room by a bed, stroking the hand of an unknown person, his head sunk down low. Ivy's right leg was in a heavy cast and her crutches were leaning against the end of Ivil's bed. (Ivy had a broken leg because of Rolan.) Both of them groaned and inspected themselves.
Ivil had two broken ribs, a fractured wrist in a light cast and stitches in the back of her head. Hiei, on the other hand, had his ankle broken, four fractured ribs and a severed right knee cap.
"What do you mean?" Hiei questioned Ivy confused as he looked around the hospital room: X'on was tending to another person who Hiei couldn't recognize because X'on was blocking their face.
Tomoe was coming up to them, as well as Kurama, with food; a solemn expression etched in their exhausted faces. They had been up all night and the morning's rays poured across the beds, warming their backs.
"We lost you two for about an hour but then your hearts started beating normally again. Clearly someone likes you two a lot." Kurama said in a voice that was a blend of happiness and sorrow.
"Huff....huff....huff..."
