Heroism and Harshness

Chapter Nineteen

 Crack, Becky skipped through the walls as she was running just like in the plan. Creak, the walls made a little creak.

The X-ray of the walls were small and only the skinniest people could fit inside. Since Becky wasn't really fed that much in the prisons, she had gotten skinnier and skinnier. All the other prisoners had gotten skinny also, due to the lack of food.

All that exercise made her hungry. She had really gotten filled up on that bear that Mark hunted. The dry bread that Becky was fed in the prisons was nothing compared to the meat that Becky ate. It was like serving at the big dinners that King Frost had.

Of course Becky wasn't allowed to eat at the giant feast but she did sneak some melon balls as a fragment of chicken before she was caught. She probably would've gotten away with it but Becky never knew that when people eat chicken, they don't eat the bone so she threw it up later in the day and had to go to the prison infirmary. They didn't do a good job on healing her and a little bit of the bone is still left in Becky's body from that incident.

But, Becky took her mind off hunger because she wouldn't be able to eat now because now she was in a death match with the Masked Hunter.

The walls were dusty and half the time she ran, she cracked the wall or creaked it a bit. She also had to run and duck because of all the cracked pipes in the wall. The shack had indoor plumbing with wooden pipes.

Becky had seen this before because in Jeff's cell, the walls are a bit cracked and she could glimpse a pipe. She looked inside and saw pipes connected. She never understood why there were pipes in the prison until one time there was a huge flood because a pipe had cracked a bit. Thankfully, no one got hurt but it took a day to drain it and everyone slept outside in a cold, snowy night.

Right after Becky heard her stomach growling for food, she heard a sound which was way worse. Ten times worse. Becky heard a gun-shot boom as she saw a little hole break into the wall.

"I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!!" Becky heard the Masked Hunter. He had saw the huge hole that he made and thought that his shack was broken but what he saw was Becky climbing in the walls to hide.

Now, Becky was busted. The Masked Hunter knew that she was in there. But, the walls were a shield so it was harder for him to kill her. Plus, the walls actually hid Becky so it made it even more harder for her to be killed.

After five minutes of yelling, shooting and Becky running, Becky then made it at the end of inside the wall. The way that The Masked Hunter built his shack was that he put a little wall inside every corner just to make his place sturdy. Because of this, Becky had two options:

1. To run back and forth through the wall

2. Get out of the wall by running back

Becky figured that she didn't want to be stuck in the wall the whole day which she was gonna do. The Masked Hunter never stopped doing any task until he completed it and sometimes that could take days. One time, he wanted to hunt a running bear and it took him five whole hours to do that. He lost the bear a few times but eventually caught up with it and then fought a bloody battle with it until The Masked Hunter won.

After running back to where she got into the wall, Becky slid out as she started to run away. "Now I gotcha!!" The Masked Hunter yelled as he chased Becky. Becky then ran into the next room where it was fully vacant.

The floors of the room where she was in was very fragile. The Masked Hunter didn't really do a good job building it as he often did not attend the room. Even chasing Becky, he remained out of the room as he tried to shoot Becky from a distance.

Becky then ran as she avoided a few bullets being shot at her. Finally, she reached the end of the room where she tripped on something. After dusting herself up, she saw that she tripped over a stolen harpoon.

Becky had never seen a harpoon before. Maybe she had seen a wooden one that Mark used with vines as the ropes but this one was splendid.

It shined with glee as Becky picked it up. Instead of wood, this harpoon was made out of metal! Instead of Mark's harpoon which weighed very light, this weapon weighed a lot more. Becky then picked it up as she ran to The Masked Hunter, gonna fight him in a big battle.

The Masked Hunter never waited for someone to charge at him. Instead, he always charged at his opponent while they charged at him. Even with the weak floor, he charged at her.

The Masked Hunter drew a knife and held it up at Becky just like she did at the cupboard. Becky then wasn't that scared. Her weapon weighed much more than his as the sharpness point was a lot stronger.

Becky then swung the harpoon at The Masked Hunter but he jumped back. The floor then started to crack after The Masked Hunter stomped back to her.

The Masked Hunter started to laugh after Becky tried attacking him again with it. This time he ducked. "Looks like you don't know how to use a weapon," he sneered at her. "Oh I DO!!!" Becky yelled with hatred.

The affecting laughing motivated Becky to try harder. In her brain, she started to think negative stuff that she was just a weak prisoner who couldn't do a thing. Someone who's a nobody and is totally worthless. Becky then shedder a tear as The Masked Hunter laughed even harder. "Aww little prisoner, you're gonna cry. Maybe you should just return to your prison," Becky then grew angry. She wanted to prove all of that wrong.

"I AM NOT WEAK!!" Becky yelled louder than she ever yelled in her whole life. Her body grew more power as Becky wanted to use her anger onto him.

She then sprung up in the air as she swung the heavy harpoon at The Masked Hunter. The sharp and harmful weapon whapped him directly in the center of his face as he stumbled back a bit and fell on the floor. The floor cracked again.

Now The Masked Hunter was mad. The new scars that Becky gave him stung like crazy as he strained himself to get back off to fight Becky. He then hit the floor as it cracked even more.

Becky then felt glad that she weakened The Masked Hunter. She thought that he will just attack her as that will be the end. But, she didn't know what next he will pull on her. Maybe he'll use the trick she used about anger negativity on her.

She then stepped back some steps as she held her harpoon in front of her face, ready to fight him if he will attack her with anything.

The Masked Hunter then fished into his pocket as he grabbed onto a weapon. He removed a three-inch pocket knife that he used to remove sharp parts from his walls. He then held it up at Becky as she gasped.

"Oh, you deserve this," The Masked Hunter said in a calm but in an angry voice. He then started to walk to her, setting her to think the wrong attack. he was gonna take a few steps but then dash at her in full speed.

He then had Becky fooled as still, she was still standing with her harpoon, ready to fight. She glared at him, studying ever single move that he was gonna do on her.

After taking at least five steps, he was a fraction closer as then he started to charge at her. To Becky, he looked like a huge train that was gonna hit her. She then had no match against him as she had to retreat. Not knowing what to do, she dropped her harpoon because of how sweaty her hands were as she then ran to the nearest window. The window was across the room as she spun the opposite direction and then after multiply punching a window, she broke a window open as she then looked down. She was gonna jump out.

Becky knew that she will get hurt from jumping out asecond-story window but it was her only move. Fighting him will be likefighting a charging rhino on a rampage, not like she ever seen one before.Becky then couldn't predict what was gonna happen next but she knew that she'llbe badly hurt once she'd touch the ground. All she knew was that a bloody battlewas coming up. Her fighting The Masked Hunter.
