I Now Realize

Chapter 16: Stage Two; One By One (part 6 out of 9)

Through the streets of Broken City, the trackers roamed everywhere in case of more Blooders.
"Brother?" Kiana leaped building to building along with a man.
"Yes?" The man, Sasha glanced at her and stopped leaping, examining his surroundings.
"Why didn't you want Alue to patrol with us?" Kiana looked straight ahead.
"Alue and her mate is busy on many things than to babysit us. She's a great woman, but I feel like we're taking too much of her time." Sasha shrugged.
"I understand. But, I have a bad feeling about this." Kiana curiously looked at her older brother.
"It'll be fine, sis'." Sasha ruffled Kiana's hair until they both heard metallic noises clash.
Then a small onyx ball was thrown in front of Sasha and Kiana's feet.
As Kiana stared at the ball when a light flashed at them. Then a whirring noise became louder and threatening. A long blade quicker than the human eye appeared and was about to cut them in half.
Sasha took action and protected Kiana by hitting the ground almost in time. The blade grazed against Sasha's back and pierced about five inches in his skin.
"Sasha!" Kiana panicked for her brother's injury.
"I'm fine! I'll be fine!" Sasha grunted, trying to ignore the pain.
"But, brother-" Kiana's facial expression changed, as if not expecting something or someone approaching them. But Sasha didn't notice. "Don't worry about my injury-"
"No! Watch out!" Kiana had no choice but to push Sasha away when a anti-ally was about to slash Sasha in half. But instead, the blade slightly grazed on Kiana's shoulders.
Sasha pulled out his gun and aimed at the anti-ally. But the man dodged the bullet by doing backflips and landed beside Sasha.
"Hello. The names Jokka." The dark skinned man smirked and quickly stabbed Sasha at the wrist holding the gun.
Kiana took out the sheath of her blade and slammed Jokka at the back of his neck.
Jokka held Kiana's wrists and holding them with a lot of pressure and smirked. "Feisty, aren't you? You seem to have the nerve. I like that."
Sasha growled at Jokka defensively for his little sister and warned Jokka in a threatening low voice. "Stay away from her, you pervert." He head locked Jokka, ignoring his injuries.
Kiana took this advantage to stomp Jokka's foot.
Jokka loudly grunted, "You little b-tch!" and aimed to punch Kiana's face.
Kiana held Jokka's fist and dug her nails in his skin and head butted him.
Sasha smirked and punch Jokka at the stomach. 'That's my little sister.' He proudly thought to himself.
But Sasha and Kiana didn't expect other trackers to ambush them...
"Brother!" Kiana struggled as she was being separated from Sasha.
Jokka and his teammate yanked Kiana by the arms, trying to take her with them.
"No!!!" Sasha sprinted towards Jokka to help his little sister, but then, he was tackled by three more trackers.
They stabbed him at the legs to weaken him and was beaten by being kicked in the face.
"Sasha!" Kiana escaped out of Jokka's arms and rushed to help her brother.
Sasha witnessed how Jokka caught up to Kiana and knocked her out, hearing how hard Jokka hit his little sister.
Just when Sasha got up, his ears drums painfully rang when he was his at the back of his head, and everything became dark...

"Sasha...!" Sasha faintly heard familiar voices. He moaned in pain.
"Aw, sh-t! C'mon, Sasha!" Sasha was gaining conscious and his eyes fluttered open, struggling against the bright light.
"Guys, give him space. He's coming to." Alue signaled to give Sasha some space.
"My sister!" Sasha fully gained conscious and jolted to sit up. Blackraven and Isaya tried to calm him down.
"They have my sister, d-mn it!" Sasha wanted to stomp out of Alue's hideout, but he was being yanked in place.
"Sasha!" Alue yelled, trying to at least catch his attention.
"What?!" Sasha's eyes showed a flame for vengeance and slowly calmed down.
"Can you explain what happened?" Alue patiently asked and gestured Blackraven and Isaya to let go of Sasha.
Sasha explained that he and Kiana were patrolling the city as they were told, and the next second, they were attacked by anti-allies.
"Who attacked you? You have to remember." Alue sighed and shook her head.
Sasha struggled to remember the man, then his eyes slightly brightened. "Jokka. He goes by Jokka."
Alue widened her eyes, as if she knows the dark aura from that man. If he can even be called a man...
Isaya noticed and broke the silent moment, "Do you know him?"
Alue slowly nodded, "I don't know much about him. But I never liked him, and it didn't take me a month to observe his behavior. He's twisted."
Sasha sprinted in front of Alue and gripped her shoulders and his eyes darkened. "What do you mean?!"
Alue glared at Sasha, as is telling him to somewhat calm down, "Let's say you better pray for your sister. I hope nothing happens to her, because that man is abusive to women."
Sasha didn't know how to react. He either wanted to flip the medic room upside down, or march to where Jokka is and slit his throat, cut his limbs off, burn or kill him.
"Sasha," Blackraven waved at Sasha's face to get his attention. "We'll get your sister back."
Sasha was so infuriated, he tried to laugh it out. "You don't know how I feel right now!" He kicked a table ten feet away.
Alue scoffed, and made her eye color turn red. "You're not the only one! How do you think I felt when several of my friends were about to be executed???"
Sasha glared at Alue.
"Don't you dare give me that look," Alue glared back at Sasha, "I'm not who insisted to patrol just with two people. You asked for that. So don't even complain! We'll get your sister back, but don't you dare complain! I can read what you're planning to do, revenge is not the answer... I know this by witnessing these type of situations."
Blackraven and Isaya preferred to not make any comments, because they know Alue well enough when she has a bad temper.
Sasha somewhat forced himself to calm down and stared at the floor.
"If you're smart enough, you wouldn't be blaming or yelling at me. You would stay quiet." Alue huffed in anger.
Sasha realized his stid mistake of insisting to patrol with just to people. He decided to stay quiet and observed his injuries. He glanced at Blackraven, "How bad are my injuries...?"
