Chapter 7 Fight or flight

As the papers fluttered to the ground, Alathia stood where she was left, not quite knowing what to do with herself.

Alexia was gone, and there was no one to save her.

Another motorcycle sounded beside her.

"…You've got to be kidding me!" she practically whispered, drawing her sword.

Kadaj came speeding towards her on his bike, the sound of the motor deafening all other sounds around them. He went to grab her, only to receive a cut on his forearm from her sword. Enraged, he got off the bike and readied himself for battle.

"Why are you after us!" she snapped, angrily lunging at him.

He dodged gracefully and sneered.

She tumbled on the ground and added a nifty bit of hair accessories… such as leaves and twigs. Who needs hairspray to froof out your hair when you've got dird :D.

"I'll explain if you'd give us the chance to sit you down," he announced bitterly.

"What are you planning?" she screamed, again lunging at him.

Angered at the fact it had taken him this long to capture her, Kadaj dodged her attack and grabbed her by the froof on her head.

He pulled her close to him, with her arms behind her back, and hissed into her ear through angrily gritted teeth.

"I'll tell you when you cooperate. C'mon, we're going to visit someone"

She made a swing with the sword, and he simply bent it in half.

Enraged, she grabbed him, and yanked him about evenly by the hair.

"Ow! Let go!" he snapped with surprise.

"Then talk!" she yelled, pulling hard away from the bike.

He matched her and yanked hard right back, both wincing with pain.

"How are you real?" she said, digging her stubble of nails into his soft scalp.

"I told you, you'll know in due time! Why the hell do you have to make this so difficult?" Kadaj hissed slamming her on the ground and pinning her, face up.

She was livid, and spat in his face. He slapped her, but immediately regretted it. By freeing one of his own hands to hit her, he'd let go of one of hers.

And he was squatting, legs spread, over her slender stomach.

Alathia grabbed and yanked. No sound escaped from his lips, but he DID remove himself from her, and hunched up in pain. To buy more time, she lifted his head, and punched him in the nose.

Alathia knew she'd broken it as soon as she hit. She heard the crack, and removed her fist with drops of blood dripping off her knuckles.

"OW! F…" he rolled away, clenching both his broken nose, and groin.

"Why did I do that!" she thought sympathetically, as she limped back towards the village.

The girl wiped the blood off on her shirt and continued screaming for help. Out of sheer frustration she began sobbing.

"Somebody please help me! Please! Heeelp! They're here to get me! Oh god please help! Don't let them hurt me!"

She continued limping and looking back over her shoulder. Another motorbike was coming towards her. She cried out and broke into hysterics; screaming the same plea loudly. Sadly no one helped.

Alathia heard the motorbike just before she was grabbed and yanked into the darkness. But it wasn't Kadaj

Alexia was silent and still as Loz quickly drove through the forest, towards the dead city. They reached the entrance trail to the lone building where Aeris was laid to rest, and he yanked her by her arm towards it.

"C'mon, wouldn't want to keep him waiting any longer"

"Let go!" she screamed, pounding with her fist on his rock hard arm.

Angered by her resistance, a hand snatched the gruff of her neck, and began pushing Alexia towards the lone building.

She hissed with pain, and leaned her head towards the sky, to lessen it.

Panicking, she turned and sprinted almost under his arm. Loz grabbed the frantic girl, and threw her like a rag doll over his back.

"Oh, we're getting closer! I can see the building!" she thought as she twisted herself to look over her back.

Alexia had to think of a plan of attack. She looked down. Everything on his body was clad in leather; which would make it impossible to claw his back. But his head, it was vulnerable!

Grabbing a fairly large rock off a nearby ledge, Alexia slammed it into the back of his head. He dropped her immediately, and gripped the new wound. As soon as her two feet hit the ground she took off. Tears were filling her eyes as she heard quick footsteps behind her.

Daring to look back, she saw a man.

"Oh this can't be happening!" she thought as she let the tears fall in utter fear.

That man was NOT Loz…

Every muscle was working as she sprinted down the dark trail. She could feel every pulse from her frightened heart.

"Almost in town!" Alexia thought as she screamed in horror.

"Help, somebody help! Please! Ahhhhh! No… no no no, Pleaaaase no!"

She'd looked behind her and saw the long flowing hair of the man.

Alexia's body was exhausted, but she dare not slow down. The steps were getting closer and closer!

Closer, until she heard them right behind her. A leather-clad arm wrapped around her stomach, and she again, screamed in horror. Alexia struggled in his arm. Her body and mind couldn't take it as he turned her around to meet his face.

She fainted after coming face to face with the scariest man she'd ever met.
