Chptr 11

"Stop running from me Sssara! Accept your fate!"

Damn! Sara thought to herself as she ran, ducked and dodged the serpent demon's attacks. What the hell do I do? I can't keep this up forever but i have nothing to...wait that's it! She realized the demon had been draining a lot of energy and was more tired than she was. It was going to become desperate soon and if she could time her next actions correctly she might beat it. Opportunities will reveal themselves when ready. If you search for them they will hide and may never be found. This was something her grandfather often said to her. Her father's father was always a wise man. He was a village elder and people often came to him for his advice. And at that moment Sara was happy she followed his advice always because at that moment the demon viper opened his mouth to try and lunge at her and poison her with his acidic bite. She ducked low and as she ducked passed and the monster hit the wall, something shiny caught her eye. She turned and saw a long curved blade like a pirate's cutlass. She could tell instantly that there was something special about . She dove for it and just as she grasped it, the serpent wrapped its long thick tail around her right leg. She screamed and turned just in time for her to dodge the monster's fangs. She moved at such an angle that the viper did cut her near her chest ripping her shirt just barely exposing her dark nipple of her left breast. Not enough to notice unless one was looking for it but it still ripped all the same. "Ssstop ssssquirming damn you! I'll make your death all the more painful if you continue to ssstruggle!" The enraged beast began to slowly squeeze Sara to death still not noticing the weapon she held in her hand.

"I don't think so rat breath." Sara's one last act of defiance as she could feel her rib cage slowly being pushed in to the point of breaking. She took one last breath and used the last of her remaining strength to will herself to lift the sword and she swung her weapon at the creature just as it realized its fate. The blade cut deep into the creature's humanoid torso and forced the beast to release Sara. She took the opportunity to take a deep breath and she stepped toward the monster and ripped the jagged blade out if its torso. "Fuck you motherfucker!" With that she cut the beast's head off and it began to disintegrate like crumbling wet clay.

Nila and Ryan looked at each other. "If we don't live through this, I want to do this at least once,"

Nila said this quickly and then kissed him deeply and passionately.

Ryan was taken off guard at first but quickly recovered and kissed her back.

"Well let's make sure we both survive. I don't plan on this, our first kiss, being our last."

"How adorable. Its disgusting. Bah no matter you will Both die together as lovers should." The giant beast interrupted their moment. With that said the beast reached to the scabbard he had at his side and pulled from it a double sided bone sword.

"Aaaaahhhhh!" The colossal beast let out a deafening war cry and charged. Ryan thinking fast pulled out the glock he had cocked it and aimed at the creatures kneecap. He squeezed the trigger and it gave off a loud echoing pop in the large room.

It hit its target and the beast flew forward thrown off balance. And as it fell Nila ran forward and fired off a few rounds of her own. The beast laid still and Ryan, taking no chances, ran up to finish the job. He drew his sword but before he could deal the finishing blow the beast jumped up and swung a blow of his own. Ryan dove out of the way and counter swung and cut the beast on his leg. They continued to fight back and forth until the demon began to overcome Ryan. As he approached a bleeding and broken Ryan he laughed.

"Boy. You had no chance from the beginning. I am the better fighter, the more experienced warrior. I win every time." Ryan spit out blood at the beast and began to raise his sword in defiance but before he could rise, the beast lashed out and kicked his sword out his hand. Ryan instantly cried out in pain as he felt his wrist crack. The beast stood over him menacingly and gave a deep chuckle "Don't worry," he said darkly "your girlfriend is next so you will not die alone."

Nila drew an arrow as she ran out of ammunition while running toward the fallen beast. She pulled the arrow back and before she prayed it would hit it's mark and save Ryan. As the arrow flew through the air it caught fire in front of her very eyes.

"Holy mother of…." The arrow burned bright with holy fire and as it hit its target directly between his shoulder blades the fire began to consume the creature.

"NO! What! How could I fail!?"

The beast raged as it burned to ash. The only evidence that proved it ever existed was a burning skeleton but that too eventually burned to ash and turned to dust.

"Fucker i hope you burn forever."

Ryan sat where he was stunned. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. Nila changed from this cute Irish girl and morphed into this beautiful flaming phoenix. She looked like Katniss the girl on fire from the Hunger Games movie. Except her eyes blazed the brightest. But as soon as it began it ended and she was just Nila again. She ran over to Ryan who was trying to prop himself up the stone wall of the chamber.

"Oh God! Ryan are you alright?"

He looked up with a grimace and sighed.

"I'm still alive thanks to you." He replied sincerely. He genuinely was glad she was there with him. He knew he couldn't have beat that thing by himself. He vowed that somehow, someway; someday he would repay this life dept. "I'm pretty sure my wrist is, at the very least fractured. I can't be sure because my bones are unreasonably strong but I've never been hit that hard in my life."

"Well let's get the hell out of here before something else attacks us."

"Right." was all he could say before he fainted and as she saw why Nila let out a horrified scream.
