Blood Red Road (part 4)
Shego's first match of the day was against a girl called Clamitha, who was a leharbs. Her blonde hair cut short like all of the others, she gave Shego a wink to say the plan was to go on.
Shego was feeling a little pissed off; she had to get beaten up to save everyone, the great Shego, the world's most dangerous woman. Although that was the point, she wasn't Shego she was Raven. The bell was dinged, Shego charged, secretly grabbing Clamitha's arm she flipped herself over, and Clamintha did the rest of the act, and played a punch and kick
Shego's second match went about the same way; Shego was taking a break in the training area outside when she heard a loud commotion from a distance not too far away. A tall man, quite pale walked across the field, all the guards bowed their heads. The man approached Shego's space- that the prisoners had respected. The master looking fear full as well, "I am the king's brother, I am the second in line for the throne for Rackinbul" the very name made Shego want to strangle everyone in the room. He was wearing something you'd expect to see in some weird shake spear play.
"Fuck off" Shego said the man ignored the rude comment.
"I want to know why you would lose two matches? Surly you should know that would mean instant death?"
"Yes I am very fucking aware of that" The raven haired girl growled, annoyed that she was being treated like some sort of idiot.
"Then do not lose this match, you miss angel of death, are this town's biggest attraction. Do not let me down, or I will make your death very slow and painful." Shego wasn't put off the slightest by this so called threat. She had two hours till her next match she thought she would get some shut eye. The last thing she heard was the sounds of clanging of the cage coming down on some other people. She could have sworn the sound of that bell was slowly driving her insane, it seemed even when she wasn't near the damn thing she could still hear it.
Shego slowly awoke, there was the girl waiting by her barred door. Tara, her eyes seemed serious "I'll help you find this Kim, I know the way to Rackinbull, and where these guys probably took her"
"Great... how'd you know?"
"You mumble in your sleep" Tara said casually.
"Nice to know I'm being watched"
The fight had gone down, Shego had lost, the crowd was roaring, standing up, the plan started. A bottle with a rag was lit and thrown, the petrol inside it causing a big explosion, people were thrown around the place, and Shego was dragged out of the burning building. Where's Tara? She thought to herself. She then remembered hearing a guard lock someone in the box.
Shego ran as fast as possible back into burning building, the smoke ran up to her face, taking away what little oxygen was left in the room, Shego took her rugged shirt off and held it to her face, Shego looked around, there was the box that Shego could see as the smoke seemed to clear away from it, Shego ran up to it, igniting her hands she melted the lock hearing it fall to the floor, there lay an unconscious Tara, her blonde hair dirty with ash. Shego took the surprisingly light body out and ran to the door, when it wouldn't open the older woman started to panic a bit. She couldn't find a way out.
Everyone was asking where the person who had saved their lives was, Clamitha had said she had seen Raven leave, but she wasn't hear now, immediately everyone stopped throwing their flaming bottles.
No way out, just have to make one... Shego ignited her hands and made a circle movement, barging the weak wall with her shoulder turned out to be harder with someone on the other shoulder. Finally the wall gave in crumbling down Shego jumped out with Tara on her back, everyone was looking at the raven haired girl like she had three heads that was when in Shego's mind it clicked everyone had seen her use her powers to break the wall. She would have a lot of explaining to do. When Shego went into the crowd, everyone parted for her as she laid Tara on the ground, she found a pulse in her neck, but her chest wasn't rising. Shego lay Tara's head back, pinching Tara's nose, and placing her lips on Tara's she pushed all the air from her own lungs to Tara's, the with two fists slamming onto Tara's heart, Shego had to do this 3 times before Tara' sprung up breathing for air, "welcome to the land of the living" Shego greeted her, but the smile was quickly wiped as a much older woman approached her, it was the leader of the Leharbs,
"Since we are all friends here- for the time being, let's start with how you can make fire from your hands?" Shego sighed. The woman cut to business. She had short brown hair and wore an eye patch. If Shego had still been living in America she would have asked, but knowing what Turkey was like it was best not to ask about the loss of something
"It's a long story, and I have to be moving rather than telling stories- shit! Monique!" Shego asked, her eyes darting left to right in search of the girl.
"Right here girlfriend!" Shego approached her with a warm smile
"What happened to Mrs. Barkin?"
"Steve finally stood up for himself... and by that I mean he ran away. She left me to focus on trying to find the love of her life" Shego laughed. And turned to the crowd, she climbed onto a stack of creates
"Guys! We're gonna get our revenge! They kept us trapped, made us fight our own! And for that I would be really pissed, which I am! So I'm going to hunt down this king, get someone who I owe it to, and then we all kick him in the nuts!"
Shego waited for Tara to translate what she had just said, the group of teens laughed after that last part "who's with me?" there was a loud cheer, some were unsure but they had nowhere else to go. "Now let's get moving to Rackinbull!"
The girls had packed everything, and there was a lot of commotion on the streets, Shego grabbed the clothes that she could, boots, tee-shirt that had a faded angel on it, and a black combat trousers. This was why she was a thief before.
The teens managed to get some horses, weapons, Shego got her crossbow back, it turned out that the Barkins' had sold it for a good couple of bucks, but with some 'negotiating' with the merchant he had given the bow and arrows back to the woman. He had heard of the woman's reputation- Raven's that it. And he'd seen her fight once; he would like his face in one piece so he quickly ran into his little shop bringing out the arm protection as well.
Shego smiled at him and started to walk away. The man puffed out, not realizing he had been holding his breath the whole time.
Tara came up to Shego, who was getting the horses ready "hey Raven, thanks for saving me, I owe ya one"
"Don't mention it" Shego said, really in a rush to get moving, the woman who was the head of the laharbs came up to her
"I know you're in a rush, but I'll do a quick intro. I'm Betty and you saved a lot of my people so if you ever need a favor, don't hesitate." Shego nodded as Betty left Raven to pack. Tara took a map from a small shop and started to plan their destination to get to Rackinbull.
I'm coming for you Kimmie.
Ok people I have no idea really what time this story is set in. I guess before missile launches and grenades, I guess about cowboy times, roads were used for horses and guns only made a big bang, and in movies you never really saw the bullet hit the person.
Just in case it's Shego in the story but when people talk to her it's Raven. Simples
So yeah… Next chapter…
