Night returned again. But this was a special night. We had a plan to set into action. Until disaster struck.

It was the night we were supposed to get on the boat, we got ambushed. The boat exploded, I was hid behind some barrels with Jesper as he shot his guns I shot bow and arows. It was too risky for my nails. Jesper grabbed Wylan as I continued knocking men down, but they just kept coming. I heard footsteps behind us I spun around ready to attack whoever it was, but it was just Kaz. "Head east to the next dock, board at berth twenty-two."

"What's at berth twenty-two?" Jesper asked him. "The real Ferolind," I answered for him getting at his plan. "The boat was just a decoy, wasn't it?" Kaz nodded. "You knew?" Jesper asked again. "No, I took precautions. It's what I do, Jesper." Kaz told him. Jesper furrowed his eyebrows, "you could of told us."

"That would defeat the purpose of a decoy. Get moving," Kaz nodded for to follow him into the shadows. Cane in one hand pistol in the other. "Get there safe," I told Jesper before following Kaz I shot people in range. I saw Inej crawling on top of a crate a while down, I nodded to Kaz and ran off to her. The belt on my coat came undone as I climbed on top of crates, once up I got down on one knee, shooting anyone close to Kaz. I could see Jesper in the crows nest, shooting people from where I was. I felt a bullet skim past my neck, I didn't think anything of it until I saw the scarlet trickle down my coat. I knew I had to get to the boat. I could have popped a major blood vessel.

I jumped down from the crates and ran east keeping my hand on my neck. A guy ran up beside me, before I could slash him with my nails he got shot in the head. I looked up at Jesper and shouted, "thanks!" He nodded and I ran up some stairs and walked along a wooden platform. I looked down from the railings the floor below was quite far down. I stood on the wooden railing and went to jump until I heard somone behind me, "grab her!"

I turned around and saw a group one member of which was coming towards me, I dug my nails into his neck and shredded it before breaking his neck. He dropped to the floor. The men behind him looked scared. One of them shot me, "you've got no where to go." The bullet implanted itself in the side of my stomach, with my undone coat blowing in the wind he got a clear shot. "I told you to grab her, not shoot her you idiot." I guessed he was the leader of the little group. The guy with the gun replied, "and look where that got him." I smiled at them, "terribly sorry boys wish I could stay. But I'm a busy girl, got places to go." I saluted before I straightened my arm again at an angle. I took a step back and let myself fall, I landed in a crouch with a leg straightened at the side.

(I listened to Bamboleo by Gipsy Kings while I wrote that bit lol everytime she jumps off something picture me listening to that song while writing it specially "Bembele Bembele Bembele Ben Bembele Bembele Bambole Bambolea Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir asi. Bambole Bambbolea" being when she falls cos there will be multiple times;)))

I kept running east and ran into a group of men by some crates. "Hello Vampress, oooh the secrets I'd love to squeeze out if you. I bet you know loads, especially about Brekker?" His voice made my stomach twist and groan. I jumped into the air and went to throw a star at Oomen. He threw something at the same time, my star  hit his groin. He yelped in pain. Then it came flying at me. The blade hit a similar place to the bullet. I didn't look when I hit the floor again. When I landed on all the air was knocked out of me. My vision blurred from hitting my head. They started coming towards me. I was defenseless. Inej and Jesper started to fight them off. Kaz came out of no where and knelt down next to me, "are you okay?" I gripped my forehead to steady the spinning my vision wasn't clear put from what I could see, Kaz looked panicked. I pushed myself up slightly with a wince my ribs were causing immense pain. I gribbed his arm,"I'll be fine."

"You don't look fine," Kaz laid me back down. "It's hurts." I gripped his hand tightly, "everytime I breathe, its hurts to breathe."

"Keep fighting, stay with me." I tried to stay conscious, for him at least. Kaz started a game we would often play as a distraction or just fun, "how would you kill someone with a pillow?" I tried to catch my breath to answer,"Hmm I-I would rip some of the stuffing out and... clog their nose with it, then I would rip some more out and shove it down their-r throat before putting their face into the pillow until they stop-pped breathing." I blacked out after that, the pain had become too overwhelming. The last thing I remembered was hearing Kaz calling for me, "Ambrose! Ambrose stay with me, Ambrosia! Don't you dare!"
