Heroism and Harshness

Chapter Twenty

Becky looked down the view. It was very scary. The shack was a bit higher than the tall trees in the woods. The top of the tree's were leaves mixed up together as it looked like someone's hair as a total mess.

Birds were swooping around the trees as Becky wished that she could turn into a bird. That will be much easier as she could jump out of the window and fly to the castle. Once she got there, she could magically transform back into her human form and do her stuff. But, all she could do right now, was jump out the window.

She had seen Mark jump off some trees but unlike her, he actually knew how to land safely from jumping off a tree. She figured that Mark could jump off the second story window.

At least, the scary shack could be twenty feet in the air. Becky had jumped fifteen feet back at her prison and even once in the woods. She knew that five feet added was a lot.

Becky then lifted herself as now she was sitting on the wooden windowsill. She then had to jump out in two seconds because of how close The Masked Hunter was now from destroying her. One second, he was getting closer as Becky took a deep breath. She wondered how hurt she was going to be once landing.

But, there was no time to think about that now as the last second passed and Becky then jumped up in the air, over the shack. The tiny girl shut her eyes as all she could see was the feeling of falling. Falling, as it was just like no ground at all. What if there was no ground? What if it was just gone? Then falling will be more common as Becky then rapidly landed on the ground, really hurting herself.

She couldn't get up now. The power of her falling twenty feet really injured her. She strained herself to just maybe crawl on the floor but she couldn't even do that. Becky then started to groan deeply. Her legs were now soaring with pain as it just felt like she broke both legs.

Becky had broke her legs before. One time when she escaped, she climbed the stair that led to the roof and then a bunch of guards were right behind her so she had no choice but to drop down a full twenty five feet and that ended herself in the infirmary, not after getting a beating. That's why she was so scared of jumping twenty feet, she knew it was gonna hurt.

Even worse now, Becky thought that she escaped The Masked Hunter but really didn't. The Masked Hunter never gave up on trying to defeat his enemies as he also made the daring drop out the window, knowing what he was doing.

Becky then made it a few inches by using her arms to pull herself. She then felt a bigger pounding as this time The Masked Hunter landed on her poor back. The attack was powerful as Becky then screeched with pain, just like an animal would do if it were getting attacked.

Becky's yell of distress was very loud, so loud that it echoed through the woods and birds flown away like there was construction in the woods. Sometimes there was loud, rustling noises that scared bird's nests to the ground.

The Masked Hunter then covered his ears and that gave Becky an opportunity to get him off her. But, Becky couldn't really turn around, due to having a heavy man on her. All she could do was make those powerful yells.

Becky yelled a few more times, scaring birds away in different parts of the woods but The Masked Hunter got over it the second time. Ignoring them, he then was gonna do what he was planning to do in the first place: kill her. He then took out his pocket pistol as he held it at her face, ready to shoot her.

Becky didn't know that as she was just banging her hands n the ground as she tried to wiggle out on The Masked Hunter's trap. She still made those screeches but now for sure it sounded like an innocent chirp from a harmless bird to him.
