CHAPTER 24
Sally's Turn
Keeping her body inconspicuously limp, Sally shot her right hand to Oogieous' knife. Oogieous was too consumed in the sword fight to keep his grip. The knife slipped easily form him as Sally grabbed the handle, spun the knife to be blade down, and then thrust the cold steel into Oogieous soft, saggy, gut. Oogieous released her, and his arms automatically flung to his wound. He staggered to the floor with his blood pouring between the cracks of his fingers. Oogieous was too startled to scream. Sally dropped to her knees and rapidly stabbed Oogieous in his stomach. Sally grind her teeth tighter with each rhythmic plunge of her knife. Oogieous' blood had flooded into his windpipe, silencing his screams into sick gurgles. Sally continued to stab him until his movements were nothing more than involuntary nerve spasms. A little out of breath, Sally stood up over Oogieous' body. Her black lace sleeves, and the entire front of her dress were blood drenched. She quivered a little as she stared down at the mutilated corpse before her.
"Bastard," was uttered from her lips.
In a mechanical motion, Sally turned towards the circular clearing of the crowd, where living Jack and Diego were dueling. What Sally saw next drove her to do the most impulsive thing she had ever done.
"No!" Sally's yell cued her next move. With a single lunge forward, Sally threw her knife by the blade. It spun in radical motion until it slide smoothly into the young man's back.
