Cold Hearted
All ready to go I stood in the entrance of the cave in the shadows, Lincoln had gone to retrieve my stuff for me that I had left in the cave near the dropship, he didn't want to risk any of his clan seeing me.
I knew getting the radio would be a challenge, it was deep into the territory, but I guess I'm lucky it was a bit of a distance from the village nearby. But now, most definitely they knew I had snuck away and she probably had sent multiple scouts after me and Echo who was one of the best trackers. She would soon find me after I crossed.
I heard footsteps coming and I saw Lincoln coming up to the cave with my horse and other supplies.
He came up to me and he handed me my bag, "Alright, from what I saw on the way back, there are scouts to the east so try and steer clear of there. Get the radio and come back safe. I'll try my best to keep them safe and out of trouble." Lincoln said and I laughed slightly.
"Your more than likely to join them in the trouble Lincoln, even I know your history of defying orders of the Commander and the leader of out village." He looked around and looked back up to me.
"You best ought to get going before the patrol moves closer our way." I nodded.
"See you in a few days and please keep them safe." I told him and he nodded and I took off out of the cave as fast as I could, the border was probably about a day trip to the border but then the ship was a good 10 miles from the border and not far from the village so there would be other warriors around so sneaking back in and then out would be a bit trickier since Nia probably put out watches for me all throughout our land and maybe send Echo after me.
From a distance Echo was watching, Kassandra hadn't found out that she was being tailed just yet and she was planning to keep it that way till she had the perfect opportunity to do so. Trikru's territory was somewhat foreign to the both of them, the battle three years ago had mostly taken place on Trikru's and Azgeda land. Even though they hadn't crossed the border since then they knew roughly where they were going.
Nia had tasked her in taking Kassandra home and when they got home it would not be pretty for anyone. Kassandra would be punished for her actions. She would be confined to camp till the conclave and her Ontari would then fight to the death.
I was well on about 5 miles away from camp and not far from the pod and I had luckily not run into anyone. I saw it ahead and as I closed in I hopped off my horse and walked up to the pod. I took out my knife and opened up the door. There were a lot of dust and cobwebs covering the inside and I dusted them away and looked for the radio and when I spotted it I tried to dislodged it and I took my knife out and began to cut the wires at the base of the board making sure that Monty would have enough to work with to get into contact with the Ark.
I heard the light footsteps of someone running towards me and I dropped the radio in the seat and quickly got out and used my knife ready to attack but I was kicked in the ankle and collapsed in the snow and quickly looked up to see Echo standing over me.
"Komba raun glong op ai Kassandra, Nia gaf in yu homba raun hou." (Come with me Kassandra, Nia wants you to come home.) Echo said and she took out her sword. I quickly stood up and took out my sword and moved back a little.
"Hakom Echo, den em tich op a wochop?" (Why Echo, so she can teach me a lesson?) I questioned her and she smirked. "You are sick Echo, you know that? Nia wants me home because she thinks i'll join Skaikru and betray Azgeda." She came at me and she swiped her blade at me a few times ad it clashed with mine and sparks came off and I nicked her side and she stumbled back for a sec but recovered quickly but I quickly gained the upper hand as I already had injured her, I continuously kept going at her weak spots.
"Nia always did have the thought in the back of her mind, if Skaikru ever came down that you would run off to them. She took you in, you were her daughter and you betrayed her. She threw into my shoulder and I winced, I pulled out the knife and rushed at her while she was still on the ground.
She kicked my feet from beneath me and quickly grabbed my injured shoulder and dug her fingers into the black mess nad I cried out and that one second of weakness was enough for her to be able to pin me in the snow.
"Echo you fool, she never loved me. I was just part of her plan like Ontari so Azgeda so we can take control of the coalition. I know that, Ontari knows that but she doesn't care, she just wants to be heda." I told her.
"You're wrong Kassandra." she went to go bind my hands and I took that chance to get up but she was ready and she hit me in the head with the hilt of her sword and I dropped back into the snow, darkness dancing on the edge of my vision. And I tried to stand up but when I sat up I was hit with dizziness. I knew for one thing, I was so screwed.
