Thanks again to all those who reviewed my last chapter you guys are all awesome. I went back to school last week so chapters might be later than usual because I'll have homework to do as well. Anyway here's chapter twelve hope you enjoy.

Katrina's POV

A few hours earlier

Katrine began hatching a plan for how to get away from Echidna. She couldn't do too much because of her broken wrist but if she thought out a good enough plan she should be able to get out without any trouble.

Firstly she searched the whole cave to look for something she could possibly use to aid her in her escape. She found a small pile of rabbit bones in the back of the cave. Katrine picked up a few and slipped a few in her now tattered shorts pocket.

Katrine waited till Echidna was sat in the middle of the cave entrance. Echidna was busy preparing rabbit stew so she didn't notice when Katrina crept past her and placed the bones by the side of the cave entrance.

After they had eaten Echidna rolled the boulder back in front of the entrance but it was stopped from closing all the way by the rabbit bones. It left just enough room for Katrina to fit through but not enough for Echidna to notice the gap.

Back to now

Katrine waited for Echidna to go to sleep then slipped unnoticed out of the cave. She squeezed through the gap and was about to run away when she spotted a blonde boy stood outside the cave.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"My names Jason, you shouldn't have gone in that cave, there's a dangerous monster inside" Jason warned.

"I think I noticed." Replied Katrine scowling.

Jason sighed. "Who are you?"

"What's it to you"

Jason sighed again and rolled his eyes. "Whatever, just stay out here, I'm going to go kill that monster"

"ERR No!" Katrine answered. "Echidna has kept me in there for days now; I'm coming in there with you."

"No you're not, it's too dangerous and you don't have any weapons to fight with" Answered Jason.

Katrine pointed to the silver and green blade in Jason's belt. "Then give me that one."

Jason glared at Katrine clearly getting annoyed with her ignoring him. Eventually he gave in and handed her the sword. It was silver with green swirls over the handle. It had a green gem on the bottom that glowed in the darkness and wave designs carved on the blade.

Katrine held it in her hand and it seemed to be the perfect weight for her. Jason lead the way in and Katrine followed him inside.

They walked around so they were on either side of Echidna's sleeping form. Jason brought his golden blade down on the monsters scaly green neck. The blow should have taken her head off but instead it just bounced harmlessly of her. Echidna hissed and woke up. She looked around and spotted Katrine and Jason.

Echidna swung her tail around in a circle Katrine leaped in the air just clearing it. Jason stepped back searching for a weak spot but neither he nor Katrine could spot anything. They both slashed at anything available but they couldn't make a mark on her armour like scales.

Echidna brought her fist down over Jason's head but he leapt up and used Echidna's arm as a ladder and stood balanced on her neck covering the monsters eyes with his hands. Echidna hissed and swiped around with her claws. They found their mark making three long and rather deep gashes on Katrine's forehead. Crimson blood came rushing down her face, getting in her eyes making it hard to see.

Echidna threw her head backwards sending Jason flying and hitting the wall. He sat there looking dazed but it didn't look to bad. Katrine struggled to use her weapon with her left hand.

The battle raged on for another hour, Katrine and Jason getting more and more beat up and exhausted but Echidna staying on strong with not a scratch on her body.

Katrine could feel blood pouring like waterfalls from several cuts and scratches on her body. Her eye sight was blurry from a mixture of exhaustion and the steady blood stream of blood pouring from the three deep cuts on her forehead. She struggled to dodge Echidna's attacks and her moves got more sluggish.

Jason was panting but doing better than Katrine. She guessed he had gotten more practice at this sort of thing; he wouldn't have come here if he didn't.

Echidna charged forward knocking Katrine to the floor. Her sword skidded across the stone floor away from her. Her legs were too shaky to hold her wait so Katrine tried to crawl across the floor towards where her sword was. She couldn't move very quickly because of her broken wrist and various cuts and bruises on her body.

Echidna grabbed her legs dragging her backwards so she was just feet from her weapon but so it was just out of her reach. Her finger tips clawed at the ground in a mad attempt to get away but Echidna was too strong. Katrine was dragged backwards across the cave so the already faint glow of her sword got fainter and fainter.

Katrine looked round the cave for anything that could help her get away but it seemed even Jason had left her. Echidna leaned over, her claws and fangs bared.

Just as Echidna's claws closed in on Katrine's chest her sword came skidding across the floor towards her. With her last ounce of strength Katrine drove her sword underneath Echidna's scales just piercing her heart.

Echidna exploded into golden dust that covered the cave floor. Katrine looked over and nodded her thanks to where a very bloody and battered looking Jason was stood and nodded her thanks before her vision blurred and she blacked out.
