Popstar Mayhem

Chapter Eight.

I'm sorry for not updating, but I'm an impulsive writer. I don't have sched. updates, it's really not in my char. Sorry.

So I was riding in the back-seat of the car, on the way home from shopping at Wal-mart, when this need to do a story just plain bit me. I swear, it chomped me on the behind, yelling, 'Go write a story! Go! You're not going to sleep tonight until you do!'

Lina glanced up and her eyes widened. Sharp, shiny, and deadly looking things were headed her way. 'Who the hell uses arrows these days?!'

She dropped to the ground, and three went over her head, but the fourth caught her arm, shattering the bone. She cried out in pain, ripping the shaft out of her arm, and rolled to the side out of instinct. Blinded by the rising red in her vision, Lina staggered to her feet.

The female assassin seemed to have gained courage when Lina was hurt, and pounced on the red-head. Lina clutched her arm in an attempt to cut off the blood flow, and fought to keep her mind from blanking out.

"Now you die Lina Inverse!" her opponent shouted, grinning like a maniac.

Lina squeezed her eyes shut, and backed away. With her right arm like it was, and the mind-numbing pain, she wasn't worth much of a fight. She kept inching backwards until she ran into something solid, something comforting.

"Having trouble?" Scratch that…not comforting, annoying. She felt an arm around her waist and sighed, leaning her weight on Zelgadis and using him as a crutch. She didn't answer him.

The female assassin sneered at the two and leapt forward, hoping to smash them both. Zelgadis smirked and drew his right arm back, fisting his hand.

"Bad guys never learn, do they?" he stepped to the side as quickly as he could, dragging Lina with him, and put his weight behind a devastating punch, landing it on her cheek. The strength of the punch sent her half-way across the room, landing unconscious in the fetal position.

"Lina? Lina…hey! Lina!" Zelgadis shook her a bit, hoping to get her to open her eyes, but she also had fallen into blessed unconsciousness. He sighed and began to trudge out. At least he got to hold Lina and she wasn't fighting back!

Let's just ignore the small fact that she couldn't argue with him at the time, ok?
