"We don't want to kill you, you know." I said, my voice shaking.
"Yeah, you better run before I beat the hell out of you." Miley growled. From the tone of her voice, I knew that she wasn't lying.
"Oh boo hoo hoo, I am so scared!" One of the girls sarcastically said, "Well, bitch, you just made it on MY list. Prepare to die!" With that, she lurched forward at Jean, and 4 others came out attacking, while the guy who challenged us stood in the midst of it.
"Jean! Duck!"
I immediately rolled to the floor as I heard a spear whizzing pass where my heart would have been. I glanced at Miley, and nodded my thanks, but I saw she was engaged with getting the girl of her leg, ready to stab Miley with her dagger.
I threw a knife at the girl, where she crumbled to the spot, and Miley killed her instantly. I was distracted again, which caused a guy to take advantage of it, and clumsily slash a battle ax at me. I easily dodged that, as he swung the ax too high up causing him to partly topple. I shove a knife in the side of his rib, and he rolled onto the floor, unconscious. I grabbed the knife out and was prepared for the next attack.
I saw an arrow whiz pass me, and it landed on a girl who was ready to kill me behind my back. She fell down, where I struck at her to make sure she died.
I did a quick check of the field, and saw that the guy who caught us was already moving toward Miley. Although, there were only 2 guys left, but I could have sworn I saw 6 on the battlefield. Miley killed 2, and I killed one. There's 2 on the field, where's the other one?
My question was answered when I heard a scream. I checked on Miley, and I saw she was armed with a knife and some bow against a sword. I quickly ran to the source of the scream and saw Arada, blood pouring out of her thigh, and a girl, a mace in her hand.
"YOU!" I yelled, I began to throw a knife at her, but she just laughed.
"Ha! Catch me if you can!" She began running faster than I could, and my knife missed her by inches. It was then that the other guy preyed upon me. He was tall and buff, and I realized that we were facing with the Careers. He had a trident in his hand, and he seemed sure of how to use it. He slashed at me, which I dodged easily, but the dodging caused me to be off balance giving him an advantage.
He used the other side of the trident, and he kept on poking me, until he had me with my back against the wall. "You are pretty good," I said.
He smirked, "I have been training my whole life. Now, how shall I kill you? With this trident pinning you on your throat, or this end part into your heart?"
"Well, if you examine closely, the spaces on the trident is wide enough for me to slip through, so pinning me won't do any good."
He twirled the trident to get a better view, and that was when I slammed my dagger into his heart. He fell, but not without scratching my hand with the end of his trident.
Once he was on the floor, I sidetracked him and studied the trident's end. It had a sharp arrow head, and I felt the blood trickling down my hand. I shoved the thought aside, and began to help Arada up. I lifted her head, but then I remembered Miley with a sword probably killing her and she's only armed with a knife and arrows. I dropped Arada's head and began running to Miley.
I was just in time when the guy swung his sword. Miley only had a few minor scratches, nothing more serious than my hand, but it was that slash that worried me. I threw my dagger at his neck, and he fell, but not without his sword banging on her head. She wobbled for a second, then recovered and began patting her head.
"Miley! I found Arada, and she's wounded really bad!" I yelled.
I heard her mutter, "Don't you care about me?" but nonetheless, she scurried to where I directed her, and I saw a tiny pool of blood where her wound is.
"We have to stop the wound or she will die from the loss of blood," Miley directed.
"But how?"
"I need a herb! Try to find some plants in the woods and hurry!" She began to undress Arada, and luckily, she wore shorts underneath all her layers.
I began running into the woods, but the I remembered a herb. Aloe Vera. If this is a tundra, then there must be some aloe vera! I began running around, and it wasn't long until I saw it. I sliced some off with a brand new dagger, and began running back to Arada and Miley.
Miley nodded her thanks, and before she began to clean the wound, I noticed a silver parachute flying down to us. I shook her shoulders and pointed to it. She grabbed the parachute and began opening it to receive a little container, while I read the note.
That was a great fight! For your wounds, drink a teaspoon to be in deep slumber for 2 hours. Six teaspoons in all.
Miley opened the lid and began forcing Arada to drink it. I was glad it was a teaspoon, as if it was any more, Arada would have just refused to drink it. Arada began to close her eyes, and Miley began to clean it with snow. Once there were no trace of blood coming out, she sliced the aloe vera very thinly and applied it over the wound.
I shivered at the size of the wound. It was as big as my palm, and went in 2 inches or so.
To make it more effective, Miley tore some clothing from Arada's pants and soaked the cloth in the juice of the aloe vera. She wrapped it around the wound and began dressing her.
"There's a big hole in her pants, should we cover it up?" I asked.
"With what? We have no thread or fabric." Miley replied, still staring at Arada, who was now peacefully sleeping.
"Um, we could glue the leaves together with aloe vera."
"You go do it, I had enough for this day."
I began to get some leaves, and started to paste the aloe vera on it, and made a long enough skirt. Miley put it on her, and we began to help Arada into the cave that blocked the woods in the first place. The sun was well over my back, and I felt uncomfortable in all the black clothing.
Once Arada was rested, a silver parachute came down and I began to read the note.
That is a nice skirt! When she wakes up, she can explain what my gift to you is!
Miley opened up the package to reveal...makeup.
