Ex-Childhood Crush

Abbey's POV

Panick seized her with it's hard grip and fear watched her from behind.

Even Zoeys face paled .

She sucked on her tongue a nervous habit she had developed.

The two men were not well built but well equipped .

" Out ".  The right one said to them.

She gulped and in the silence it was loud to her ears.

Zoey glanced uncertainly back at her .

" Both of you ". Snapped the one on the left.

" Why ". Zoey asked.

" Tahkeek ". Replied the same man.

Tahkeek by the way meant to interview someone but don't let that simple explanation fool you .

No one's ever come out of Tahkeeks if not snuck out.

They kept you in a room untill they figured what to do with the people they captured.

Death.

Always.

She and Zoey stepped out the Car.

The Men had their guns aimed at them.

If Abbey did any sudden move they'd shoot and that'll be the end of that.

Abbey stayed further back then Zoey.

A risky plan was forming in her head.

The men stupidity turned their backs on them and went on walking expecting to follow they did.

Zoey looked back at her.

She took her index finger and did a swiping motion on her neck.

He nodded.

She pointed to the guy infront of him .

Zoey held three fingers.

As quitley as possible she unscathed her dagger from underneath her shirt.

She took the dagger by it's handle and put it beside her head before throwing it forward .

The same time Zoey leaped on his guy.

Her dagger took aim on the small of the mans back under his head.

She nearly shouted  ' Yes!' As her aim wasn't that sharp .

It was the only space where skin showed.

His gun clattered to the ground but he was very much alive.

While he was dazed.

She jumped forth pulled the dagger out and with quick motions stuck it in his stomach , she closed her eyes and pushed the dagger in further.

She heard the man gasp before crashing to his knees.

Abbey looked at Zoey and saw him struggling with the man who apparently was better built.

She took the mans fallen gun and went to the other guy and swung the gun it smacked the back of his head.

A crunch was heard as his skull broke.

Zoey put his hand to the mans mouth to muffle the scream.

With the but of the gun she hit it on his head and he fell unconsious.

Luckily he wasn't dead.

She looked at her victim and he was also breathing shallowly.

Abbey stepped in his direction but Zoey put his hand on her shoulder.

" My dagger ". She whispered.

Getting on her knees she felt for his pulse it was slightly beating.

Putting her hands on the handle she squeezed her eyes shut as she pulled the dagger out.

Grimacing when she felt trickled of blood on her hands.

" Im so sorry ". She kept chanting .

Finally the dagger was out.

The man went slack on the ground .

A few tears yearned to fall out but she just couldn't.

Emotions killed you here.

Wiping the dagger on the man's shirt was too far even for her , but what was she supposed to do .

Taking hold of her fingers she slowly Closed his eyelids. Standing up she Took his stiff hands and put them  in a V sign of his index and middle finger.

They hurriedly walked towards the car and once they jumped in .

Zoey drove away careful not to squeal away .

Once in the car Zoey passed her wipes.

She throughly cleaned her dagger and put it in it's place.

Wiped her hands and threw it out the window .

Curling up on the seat she put her back to Zoey and let a few tears trickle down.

Twice in the same month.

Lord forgive her , Lord have mercy on her.

Oh Lord know it was not out of cold blood .

Oh Lord  know if it was not him then it was her.

'A soul for a soul ' Something whispered in her head.

She was pretty sure it wasn't her.

And tried to keep from cringing Zoey would want to know why . And would keep prying and they'd have to talk about what happned which she was going to write about then to never be seen or heard from again.

Yes instead of her soul it was his.

A soul for a soul.

To protect one soul and to take the other.

Death wanted her in his grips but due to her high level of awareness she was able to step out of it's hands.

Now she knew she should thank the Lord above.

Unfortunately though she knew if not for her sacrificed blood and her wishes with her demons as she liked to call them.

Then she and Zoey would very much be dead.

So instead of thanking the lord she said.

" I thank you for your grace and kindness , for the gift you bestowed upon me .

Be there for me as if not you then no one will Thank you i am ever so grateful ".
