Oliver POV

The sound of footsteps approaching the pit jarred me out of my trance. I had been trying to plan for every possibility when facing Kai. If I messed up in anyway we would both most likely become victims of this island. I just hoped Felicity was okay. The wolf was not supposed to go back for her. That wasn't part of the plan.

Felicity was smart though. She had probably already made it to the jet now. The wolf would have a hard time getting up there. I needed to hurry back. I couldn't stop thinking about the danger she was in.

What if she wasn't able to get back to the jet in time? What if the wolf had already killed her? What if I was already too late?

A bright light infiltrated the dark pit as the door was pulled up. Standing with a sickly grin on his face was Kai. Something told me that he was ready to have some fun with me. Little did he know the tides would be turning shortly.

"Time to pay for your sins trespasser," he spoke sounding excited. His eyes looked upon me eagerly.

"I'd rather go to confession," I retorted causing his happy composure to turn into one with a frown. I needed to get him mad. Anger normally clouds the judgment and leads to mistakes.

"Did I grant you permission to speak?" He snarled angrily. He narrowed his eager eyes and gave me a death glare. My plan was working.

"Well I figured I could do anything I wanted to since you are getting ready to kill me." He was getting severely agitated now. Gripping his curved knife, he pulled it out of its sheath around his waist.

"Speak again and I will cut out your tongue," he threatened storming into the pit. Having him exactly where I wanted him, I charged at him. I pushed him into the wall of dirt. His back hit the wall hard knocking the wind out of him. His knife fell out of his hand and clattered on the soft dirt below. I pulled the knife I had found on the co-pilot out from the small of my back and placed it against his throat.

"Maybe I'll cut yours out instead," I countered. I expected him to be terrified, but instead he had a wide grin planted on his face. His body shook with laughter as he met my eyes.

"Kill me. Go on! This island will lay a curse on you if you kill it's caretaker," he said through his sinister laughter. He seemed serious.

"I'm already cursed," I snapped readying the knife. Just then he began chanting words in a language I had never heard before. My hand was frozen in place as he continued his mumbling. An unsettling feeling washed over me as his lips continued their chant.

"Vae vobis quia est peius quam mortem.

Iuramenti huius benedicat tibi manebit usque ad mortem," he repeated over and over again. It sounded like Latin, but I was unsure.

A loud howl rang throughout the island causing panic to sweep over me. Kai stopped chanting and laughed once more.

"Felicity," I whispered with the panic evident in my voice.

"Asana has found the other trespasser alive. You tricked me. I am impressed. Sadly you only prolonged the inevitable. Asana will not hesitate to kill her this time," he said seeing the worried look in my eyes.

I needed to get to Felicity. If I lost her... I couldn't. I had to save her. She had to be alright.

"Every second you spend on me is another second Asana had with your woman. You have a choice to make trespasser," Kai whispered ruining my train of thought.

Making a tough decision, I decided I would come back and finish Kai off later. Felicity was more important. She was always more important.

"I'll be back to finish this later," I spat balling my fist up. I threw the punch only to have my arm stopped by his hand. His knee met my chest causing me to lose my breath. My knife joined his on the ground as I struggled to breath.

"Should have killed me without hesitation." He reached down and grabbed both of the sharp instruments. "Now as punishment."

He took my knife and stabbed it through my shoe. I screamed out in pain as I felt the knife's tip come out the bottom of my foot. Tanking his curved blade, he rested it under my chin. Raising my face up to look at his I was met with his satisfaction covered face.

"I'm going to find the woman. That is if there is anything left of her after Asana is finished with her. Enjoy the feeling of failing the one you hold closest to you," he finished. He removed the blade from underneath my chin and drug the blade down my arm. Another cry escaped through my lips as the blade drew blood.

"Love is weakness," he chuckled. With a hard kick, he knocked me onto the ground. He climbed out of the pit and slammed the door shut behind him. He secured it behind him and walked away.

"I am going to kill you! If you touch a hair on her head you are dead!" I screamed as his footsteps receded. Silence swept over the dark pit. The sound of birds overhead along with my heavy breathing was the only sounds to be heard.

Taking a deep breath, I placed my hand on the knife in my foot. Sweat trickled down my forehead as I mentally counted to three. Ripping the knife out of my foot caused white dots to dance across my vision.

Taking a second to recover, the dots faded from my vision. Gently, I removed my shoe and my bloodied sock. A small hole rested in the centered of my foot surrounded by blood.

Ripping part of my shirt off, I quickly bandaged the wound. Feeling satisfied with the bandage, I started trying to figure out a way to escape this hell. I had to save Felicity.
