I once again apologize for the lateness. I was on vacation, and now I have school. But I managed to find the time to finish the fifth chapter. It is a bit short but I hope you like it. Also, I noticed many people questioning 'how do you walk across a river?' and to be honest, I did not know the correct word for what I meant, so I just chose 'across'. I meant that Eve had to walk all the way around it. I am glad people are reading my fanfiction. Thank you, and please comment!
-Chapter Five: Escape-
Chief was a tall and rather ugly man. He had an overgrown beard, large bloodshot eyes, and wrinkled skin. It was hard for Eve to even glance at him.
"You are Eve, correct?" questioned the Chief, his eyes bulging.
"Yes sir, what do you want?" replied Eve, giving a cold glare.
"Why won't you eat your food? Are you sick?" he questioned again, raising a brow.
"No sir, I am not. I just do not want to, is that a crime?" retorted Eve, clinging onto the bars.
"If you do not eat, you will die. Do you want that happening?"
"Certainly not, not until I have accomplished my goal… release me for just a few seconds and I will tell you," whispered Eve.
Chief was confident. He had two trained soldiers at his side. How can he possibly get hurt? He released a ring of keys from his coat pocket, and opened the lock to the cell. Little did he know, Eve swiftly scratched her sharp, black painted nails at his hideous face, which caused the Chief to bleed terribly. Immediately after that, she ran away as quick as she possibly can.
Fools, that was easy, she conceived. As she ran, she bumped into an armored guard, who dropped a small dagger. She picked it up and held it to his throat, demanding, "Where is my doll?"
"What doll? I don't know of any doll!" cried the guard.
"Of course you know! The doll that killed your petty friends. Where is it?"
The guard stuttered, "Th…The… There!" He pointed down the hall with a shaking finger.
She grinned, "Thank you," she said. Instead of sparing his life, she cut the bare skin of his throat with the dagger, until it reached the bone. She left him bleeding with no remorse.
She ran down the halls, until she reached a door guarded by two sleeping men. The security here is completely inferior, she said to herself. However, no matter how mediocre the security was, she had to retrieve her doll and escape the damned building. She started to hear chanting and humming. Was there a witch trying to perform a ritual on Voo? She had to act quickly.
Eve did not care whether the guards were awake or not, she simply wanted them dead. With her bloodied dagger, she cut their hands off, and stabbed one in the heart, easy. The guards woke up and found that their hands were rotting on the floor. They screamed and perished, until they finally died. Eve found the keys in one of their corpses, and immediately opened the door.
She saw an ugly, old woman chanting. She had frizzy white hair and spectacles that looked like glass bottles. She was as well lanky and mal-fed. She was at the tip of a circle, which had Voo in the middle of it.
Angered, Eve twirled the bloodied dagger in her hands and threw it at the old woman. Headshot! The woman let out a horrific scream, and managed to mutter a few words that could not be comprehended
Eve did not hesitate. She immediately grabbed her doll, held it close to her, and ran out the door. Just then, several guards appeared in front of her, fully armored and sword equipped.
"Kill her!" they yelled, backing Eve up to the wall.
Eve had no where to go. Just then, she found a (conveniently placed) scythe with a large blade just next to her. She grabbed it and slashed at a soldier, beheading him. The guards backed away, but took immediate action. The front man slashed at her, and managed to tear through her arm, which caused her to bleed.
She flinched and fell, holding on to her arm. Another guard slashed at her, but missed, and accidentally hit a large candle which fell to a bale of hay. The room quickly caught on fire, which caused the guards to flee. Eve, however, was still trapped in the room mending her arm. Voo was still inanimate.
She tried her best to get up and run away, and she did. She grasped onto Voo's tiny claws and the scythe and ran as fast as she could. There were slaves trying to dispose of the flames but with no success. The fire kept growing larger and larger. Eve could not care less if the building caught on fire or not, she just wanted to get out alive.
The exit was too far away. Instead of bothering to find it, she found an open window, and jumped…
