Sorry the last chappie was so short and that this one is practically microscopic, but I'm running out of chapters! There's only one pre-written left after this one, so be prepared for a kind of long wait.
"Ang!" I stumble over to her and give her a once-over in the dim light, categorizing what looks bruised and bloody. I pull her blindfold and tape off as well as I can with my hands still bound and she looks at me with groggy eyes.
"Did I get 'im?" She asks in a thick voice. I nod and move onto her hands, trying unsuccessfully to loosen the chords. She blinks at me a few times before gently pulling her hands back and bringing her wrists up to her mouth, gnawing on the thick twine. I quickly do the same, making little progress.
Suddenly her eyes go wide and before she can pull the stringy twine out of her mouth I'm on the ground, pinned under a growling body. I automatically bring my elbow back, cracking one of his ribs but injuring myself in the process with my other elbow. He grunts but snatches a handful of my hair and slams my face into the dirt.
I feel his body tremble as Ang throws herself on him but he holds her off with one hand somehow. He slams my head into the dirt again and my vision begins to waver. He slams me down a third time and the black spots clouding my vision get bigger. One more hit and I will most likely pass out.
I try to bring my elbow back again but its folded under my body in a way I can't move it without extreme pain. I struggle against him and jerk my head left and right, trying to get away from his hand. I manage to elude another blow to the head but he's still on top of me, effectively pinning me in place as he concentrates on fending off a vehement Ang.
I continue to struggle against him, and again I wish Booth had let me get a gun. I'm thinking of Booth when the final blow lands on the back of my head, knocking me unconscious.
What will happen to Brennan next?! And how did he get away from Ang?!You tell me - even I don't know yet! I'll look to your reviews to shape that chapter!
