(Sorry if I haven't updated my story. I had much to do this year. Sorry for the late update.Here's the long overdue chapter)

Chapter 7:

I swiftly tracked Kiran to the beach. She had Meg pinned down to the ground and started to move in for the kill.

"Someone..Jo..anyone..help meeee!!"

Hearing Meg's paniced plea..I reached Kiran and shot one of her heads. Doing this..I was able to divert her attention away from Meg.

"So you found me..you never learn.." Kiran growled. "You can't win Maria..Accept your fate and die again.."

"Not likely…I won't die..again."

Although she was injured..Meg stared at me in shock and disbelief.

"Maria..you survived?"

"No time to explain now.." I said, as I fought of Kiran the best that I could.

"Foolish.."

She used her other heads to bite at me. But I shot each in the mouth. I then slammed my fist into her face and sent her towards the sea itself.

"Die!!!"

I'll admit I went a little crazy. And I wasn't able to fend her off with my injuries. I had to buy Meg more time to escape.

Meg just held her ground and gripped her gun tightly. She shot a Kiran Multiple times and then ran. Kiran tossed me aside and I was outmatched. She then gave chase to Meg.

"Meg..what are you doing..stop playing around.." I stammered

I saw Jo out of the corner of my eye. I realized this was all Jo's plan. Jo wanted Kiran to pursue Meg to a nearby Cliffside building. I'm guessing that Jo figured that she'd take a fatal fall over the edge.

But Kiran knew better.

"A trap? Cleaver Jo..very cleaver..but it's useless to try.."

"Wasn't' trying."

Jo appeared out of nowhere and shot her almost through the heart again.

"Damn..your good mortal..however.."

The monster grabbed Meg and she screamed.

"Jooooooo!!" "Mariaaaaa!"

Jo looked angry

"I'm taking your little friend with me..she'll make a good meal..hahaha.."

Jo shot..but it was useless.

I consoled her the best that I could.

"Trust me..I won't let Meg get eaten. I'll save her..you need to recover."

"No.."

Before Jo could say anything more..I knocked her out. Then I took her guns with me and pursued Kiran.

This time, I would do the protecting…

Yes..I owed then one..for what they did for me.
