Chapter 4 | Strangers Pt. 2

A/N 

There is some violence ahead, so if you aren't into that I will put a warning thing that says when it begins and ends.

Rallebon was observing her opponents, trying to find some sort of way to slip out of the area they trapped her in. After seeing that there was no easy way out, Rallebon quickly performed the signal and reached for her hidden weapon. The group reacted to her movements and dashed forwards.

*Violence starts here* 

The nearest attacker grabbed the hand that was reaching for the weapon with one hand and wrapped his hand around her throat with the other. He pinned her up against the wall, which knocked the wind out of her. The others drew their daggers and started to once again surround them. 

Thinking quickly, Rallebon used her free arm to smack the inside of her aggressor's elbow, which caused his arm to bend slightly. Using this, she then headbutted him and he stumbled backwards. She then kicked him in the groin which made him collapse and release her. After she was released she laid on the ground, gasping for air.

"You're gonna regret that!" One of the group members said as began to approach the woman.

Crash

One of the windows shattered, and as the group turned to look, five arrows flew through the opening. Two pierced the man closest to Rallebon who instantly was killed. The other three hit one target each, but failed to incapacitate them. Gelatin dived through the open window and lodged an axe into the head of the closest man. He then spun and stuck a dagger into the bottom of another's head as he removed the axe from the first person.

By then, Morpheon hopped through the window, and ran to her recovering friend. Rallebon managed to stand with the help of Morpheon and drew her weapon. The other three men, having removed the arrows from their bodies, started to attack them - one going for Rallebon and Morpheon, the other two going for Gelatin. The one that went towards the women thought that they would be an easy target, but was gravely mistaken. He lunged towards Rallebon, who dodged the attack and slashed his arm, which disarmed him. She then kicked  him in the face which caused his head to smash into the wall and lost consciousness.

The other two didn't fare much better. They both attacked in opposite directions, hoping to divide his attention. Gelatin reacted by grabbing the arm of one and throwing him into the other. He then motioned to Rallebon to give him the sword. As he caught it, he stepped on the two effectively pinning them. He then impaled them through the torsos.

*Violence end*

The group rested a little bit after the fight, both to catch their breath and wear out their adrenaline rush. The females were a bit shaken up by the event, Rallebon more so for obvious reasons, as they have never took a human life before. Did they regret it? Hell no, but they were still pretty traumatized by the whole event. Gelatin, on the other hand, didn't seem to care that he brutally murdered, like, 4 people. He was rocking in a rocking chair and munching down on some cow jerky.

"How can you possibly eat at a time like this?" Rallebon questioned.

"I'm hungry."

"But there are dead bodies around you and your first reaction is 'nom nom yummy food.'"

"Yeah."

"How are you so nonchalant about this situation? You killed people!"

"And I would do so again."

"So would I, but that doesn't mean I am completely unfazed by this." Rallebon said as she gestures to the pile of corpses piled up in the corner.

"Isn't the first time, and it won't be the last." Gelatin states as he finishes off his jerky. The pair were a bit taken aback by this information, but, then again, they weren't all that surprised by it.

After a bit of awkward silence, there was a very forceful knock on the front door. Gelatin immediately got up and stood at the door. He put his hand on the hilt of his weapon, and opened up the door a little bit and peeked through. Outside, there were about 10 or so guys that looked to be a part of the local militia, who probably heard the murder noises, and came to check up on everything. One of the members, most likely the captain, stepped forward and spoke.

"We heard a commotion in this house, is everything all right?"

Gelatin tightened his grip on his weapon as he coldly stated, "Seeing as there are about 6 corpses to my right, I don't think so."

The militia seemed to be surprised at the boldness of Gelatin, but the captain quickly regained his composure.

"Do you know what happened?" The captain seemed to already know the answer, but still wanted clarification.

"Well, I did kill four of them, but the other two died due to my associates." Gelatin then tapped his weapon two times, signaling that the others should get ready for trouble.

"Then I suppose you all should explain yourselves, before you face trial."

"No."

*Some more violence, because why not*

As Gelatin said that he swiftly cut down the captain and leaped at the other men standing behind him. The other two quickly got up and rushed out of the door to support him, but then found out that he already slaughtered about half of them already. The group were very obviously not trained in hand-to-hand combat and were quickly executed by the veteran. As he was finishing off the last of them, when he saw one run away.

Gelatin then grabbed a spear lying on the ground, and hurled it at the retreating soldier. The spear impaled him through the back, and came out his midsection. The spear then lodged itself into the ground and pinned the man.

*There is no more violence*

After the group rested, which was mainly Gelatin as the others were just, once again, appalled at the amount of death they had witnessed in under an hour. After the rest, they shamelessly looted the houses and pacified the other villagers by just existing. After they sorted their collected goods, they once again, set forth toward the castle atop of the mountain.

A/N

Dang, this was a long one. Hope you enjoyed the action I threw in there. The next episode is probably going to be filler. I feel like cutting to the castle now would be too sudden, so yeah.

See you next time!
