Awakening Reality (Day 4 pt.2)

I grab Tate's arm, and my sword as we crouch and run behind a tree. I cover his mouth as I look at him. His eyes widen as tears start to form. He has worry-some look on his face. "Shhh...". I whisper to him as I try to keep him calm. I release my hand from his mouth. I grip onto my sword tightly as I quietly tip-toe over to have a peak at the campfire, where the scream came from.

    As the smoke from the fire clears, I see Nykoya's body lying on the ground. I hear Tate's breathing become unstable. I turn back, looking at him. "It's going to be okay, you're going to be okay". I say quietly to him as he begun to breathe normally again. I gently put my hand against his face, rubbing his cheek softly with my thumb. I then turn back around, hobbling quietly to the camp site. I scout the area before making my way over. I turn back to make sure Tate's okay. He seems to be fine, just frightened. I take a closer look at Nykoya, her throat was slit by a sword or knife, or something. Poor girl...She was a gift.

     I hear dry grass crumbling, and bushes brushing up against something or someone... I turn to where the noise is coming from to take a look at the near the bushes as Zeek comes from behind the bushes, swinging his machete towards me, I trip over a tree branch, accidentally dodging his machete. I quickly stand up, but as I stand up he punches me in the face as I fall back onto the ground. Blood drips out my mouth. My sword slips out of my hand, landing a few feet away from me. Zeek then has a sinister smirk on his face. "Ha, Piece of shit". He utters as he spits on me, kicking me in the side as I grunt in pain. "You know how proud my district will be knowing I, Zeek Trytus killed not only the best scored Career, but his little pathetic boyfriend, I mean...his little pathetic boy toy too". Zeek says proudly with a huge malicious smile.

He grips onto his machete. "Ha, Delusional". I simply say, spitting blood onto his face. "What the!". He shouts, wiping the blood off his face. I quickly kick him in the groin causing him to kneel down on one leg "Fuck!" He screams out, holding his balls. I crawl over to get my sword. I turn around as Zeek stands up, gripping onto his machete.

     I spot Tate charging towards Zeek with a bolder in his hand, ready to throw up at. Oh fuck, this is not good. Zeek takes notice of Tate. Tate throws the rock at him as Zeek dodges the rock. Zeek then takes his machete, swinging towards, barely cutting his arm. Tate yells in pain as Zeek scraps his arm with his blade. I quickly stand up, grabbing my sword. I rush over towards Zeek. Zeek prepares himself to end Tate. "You know how stupid you have to be to start a fire...". Zeek taunts Tate as Tate fears for his life, whimpering in fear, crawling backwards from Zeek, as he looks up at Zeek, begging him to stop.

  "Yo!". I shout, getting Zeek's attention away from Tate. Zeek turns around as I ready my sword, Tate quickly runs from behind Zeek, towards me, standing a few feet behind me. "Aw, are you two in love? Are you going to save him?". He says in a mocking tone, with a fake whimper coming from his pitiful mouth. "You know one of you will have to die right?". Zeek laughs. "Sorry...I mean both". He corrects himself as I glare at him. I raise my sword. "Ah, now this should be interesting". Zeek says with a chuckle. "It shall". I say confidently. He glare at me, throwing his machete towards me as I dodge it as the wind from the blade brushes against my face.

     I turn around to make sure Tate dodged it as well as it wedges into the tree Tate is sitting behind. Tate got behind a tree as fast as he could, dodging the machete. As soon as I turn around Zeek's all up in my face. He then punches me in the face repeatedly as I drop my sword. I then punch him in his face so he couldn't grab my sword. He backs away. He then attempts to pick up my sword but I kick it behind me so he can't reach it. I then ball my fist up, popping my neck. I throw another punch towards him. I punch him in his jaw as he tries to punch me back. I dodge his punch. 

I lunge against his torso, causing him to tumble, pinning him to the ground, pilling on top of him as he becomes dizzy. I then continuously punch him in his face, causing him to pass out. I stand up, leaping back to where my sword is. I walk over to Zeek. I take my sword, gouging it deep into Zeek's chest, killing him as his cannon sounds. I breathe heavily, dropping down into a sitting positions as I place my sword in the ground, I look over at the tree Tate's sitting behind.
