Here's Part Two! Yay!
He laughed haughtily and knotted up the teens' arm even more, making him yelp in pain. "I never did like you, Tolansky," he said in his ear, "I can make this a two-for-one deal ya know, Rat." Out thinking, she brazenly took a small step toward them, but the assassin stepped back.
A tiny rivulet of red started to drip down Todd's neck. "H-h-he's not bluffin' 'Shine! Stay where you are, please…" the girl was at a loss. If she handed herself over, he would kill her; if she made any sudden movements, he would kill Toad and then her.
What's a girl to do?
She sighed in defeat, slumping her shoulders and hanging her head. "Okay, we'll trade. My life for his." Smirking, Creed dropped the boy and made his way to Sunshine. She stood there fearlessly, like a convict whose said their prayers and waiting for the death penalty.
He reached out to her, but stopped when she suddenly held her arms out to the sides, looking him right in the eye. "You can chase me all you want, but I'll die before I surrender!" with that said, she leaned sideways till she toppled over.
"Woah!" the two men yelled in unison, both nearly jumping themselves to go after her.
They didn't see any sign of her when they looked over the edge, but on the opposite side of Sabertooth, a converse sneaker came out of nowhere and hit him square in the jaw, knocking him off balance.
After kicking him, Sunshine landed behind him and was about to bash him over the head with her fist, but he spun around and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Give it up, Rat!" he then sank his teeth into the back of the girls' neck.
Unfortunately, there was a spot on her neck that, when enough pressure was applied, paralyzed her whole body. All she could do now was simply whimper as Victor started to climb up the cables. "No!" yelled Todd, getting a hold of the mans' leg.
He was determined not to let his friend slip out of his grip that easily. The killer growled and he tried to shake the boy off him, but he held strong and wrapped his tongue around Sunshine's ankle, who was trying very hard to move, but the best she could do was slightly wiggle her fingers.
The amphibious mutant wished he could do something more, but all he could do was hold on till they reached the top, while didn't take very long. Sabertooth pulled himself up, the girl still in his jaws and her friend hanging onto his leg like a wad of gum.
"Mmmph!" he grumbled and took a claw to the boys' tongue, his eyes telling him that if he did not let go, well, you know what he would do, and that scared poor Toad half to death, so let her ankle go, but still hung onto him.
The man rolled his eyes and snatched the boy by his hair and ripped him off his leg, then threw him as hard as he could. "No!" Todd screamed, seeing Sunshine's form becoming smaller and smaller as he plummeted toward the ground, but was able to grab a beam before he hit.
He looked up and cursed. It would take forever to get back up there!
Meanwhile, Victor slowly stood up and walked along the narrow, curved bar to the highest point on the bridge. He released the girl from his jaws, but pinched her neck and held her over the edge. She cautiously looked down and freaked.
Although she was not afraid of heights all that much, she was terrified of water. It was cold and dark, and sunk you down into the crushing black abyss that would become your watery grave. There was not as much pressure on her neck as there was before, so she had freedom to move.
And move she did!
She swung her arms legs about wildly, desperately trying to free herself from his grip. He merely laughed. "What's the matter? Scared of a little water?" he quickly lowered his arm a little and she screamed, tears streaming down her face.
"Stop it!" she pleaded, clawing at his hand. She managed to get his thumb, the weakest part of any persons' grip, and pulled at it as hard as she could. Gradually, his grip started to loosen and that's when she kicked out, and successfully hit the man right in his chest and setting her free.
It knocked him back, and he tried to balance himself. "If I'm going down…" Sunshine said, standing in front of him, "I'm taking you with me!" Without a moments decision, she lunged at Creed, her rodent teeth extended, and sunk her teeth into his jugular vein.
"SUNSHINE!"
The two of them toppled over the edge, and down into the cold, dark water.
There was a long and tedious search party, but neither bodies were ever found…
Next chapter is short, but the last! SO CLOSE!
