Heroism and Harshness

Chapter Twenty Two

        Becky dashed over to Mark after dodging over the dead guard who she killed.

"Mark!" Becky yelled, now her eyes wetting with tears.

Mark was on the floor, barely breathing. The guard shot him in the chest as it was leaking blood.

"No, Mark," Becky said panting.

"Mark," Becky said really scared.

She didn't want to lose him. She wanted to do this mission together, not alone.

"I-I will save you, I promise," She then said, crying. Mark then strained himself to sit up a bit. "Y-You already d-did,"he said weakly.

Becky then was with confusion as Mark then continued.

"W-Witho-out y-you, I woul'v-ve b-b-been st-tuck i-in the w-woods for-forever,".

He pushed himself to say. Without breath, he could barely make out words.

Then, Mark finally said his last words. "B-Becky l-listen," he told her.

Becky then put her head near Mark because his words were getting more and more choppy.

"Jus-just promise m-m-me th-that y-you will," Mark then stopped. He died right there, on the floor of the huge truck. By one guard, who was one of many. He was almost out of breath.

"Mark, what?" Becky said desperately.

She would do anything Mark will tell her to do now.

Mark tried to breath but couldn't. He would've said that he was out of breath but he didn't want to say that instead of what he would make Becky do.

"Pr-promise m-me that you w-will," Becky listened very scrupulously.

"S-save T-Trey," he finished.

"I will," Becky said calmly.

"I WILL DO IT!!" She yelled loud enough so he could hear.

Loud enough so that the whole Trey could hear.

"I WILL!" Becky said sobbing.

After that was done, she knew that she had to keep her promise. She was so closet. After the woods, it was just a mile walk to the castle. She was basically done journeying.

She took a look at Mark who then just died. She wanted to bury him but had no time now. Maybe after she frees Trey, she could do that.

Right then, some more gate guards then entered the truck. Becky then gasped as she rapidly spun around to find a spot to hide. But it was too late. This time six guards entered in the truck.

A guard then spotted her as the six guards then shot her. The bullets then flew in the air as Becky dodged and avoided them to get to the engine. She first thought of driving fast so the guards will bump into the walls but then she had a better idea: To spin around the truck.

That idea will work as she then stepped on the gas and then will all her might, spun around the steering wheel. As she predicted, the guards then couldn't remain balancing on the truck so they fell down and then flew around the truck like crazy.

To avoid the guards being thrown onto her, she took cover inside the engine. This time she couldn't care less about the gross smell under there. After all the guards were knocked out, she squeezed herself out, confiscated all of the guns and kept them. She wanted to keep all of them but that will be too much to carry. Instead, she ended up keeping a pistol just in case.
