A World Found--Book 1

Chapter 25

The men settled back down, and Freya slowed her breathing, she didn't want anybody to see that she was excited.

 The guard grew tired, and he drifted off to sleep only an hour later. Freya pushed herself to her knees and looked around the small camp. Everything was silent. The fire burned to an ember and Freya crawled to her feet. 

She hoped slowly over to the tree and looked up at the branches. Monkins head popped out from under some leaves and Freya let out a sigh of relief. "Shh." Freya pressed her finger to her lips. 

Monkin slid down the trunk and leapt onto Freya's shoulder. He licked her face and blinked his huge dark eyes. "Get Zyle, my friend, and Captain Uzu, okay Monkin? I'm in trouble." Monkin snuggled into Freya and Freya smiled. "Go." 

Monkin leapt back up into the tree, he turned and looked at Freya, she could almost see a small smile on his small face. 'bang' the small Monkin fell from the tree and hit the ground with a sickening thud.

 Freya stared horrified at the blood pouring from the bullet hole in his chest. The Monkin gave a small whine then went still, his chest stopped moving. Freya turned around slowly.

 Kline chuckled and raised an eyebrow. "You think I'd let you deliver a message?" the men were blinking and looking around. Everything was silent. The breeze danced through the trees, their wispy leaves fluttering about.

Freyas head tilted to the side, and she stared at Kline. "You....monster." she seethed. Kline grunted and motioned with his gun to the spot beside the cloaked man. "Go back to sleep girly."

The moons shone their light brightly down on the planet, giving the night creatures enough light to go about their everyday life. Freya bit down on her tongue and blood started to pool in her mouth and dribble down her chin.

 Freya yanked her arms to the side and her chuffs shattered, falling to pieces on the ground. "What the hell!" two of the men took a step back. Freya's leg shackles snapped, and Freya took a step forward.

"That was Zoe's friend, you killed it." Kline stared at Freya. "How---how did you do that?" Freya took another step toward Kline. 

His scared face turned to stone and then he smirked. He pulled the trigger and the gun jerked backward and the bullet sped toward Freya. Her head tilted to the side and a strand of her long dark hair fluttered to the earth. The bullet lodged into a tree behind her.

The men yelped and back up, they grabbed their guns and looked at Kline. "Sir?" Kline growled and eye the cloaked man that stood off to the side watching.

 "Sadly, we can't kill her." Freya ran her hand over her stomach, wondering how much she could do to this man without her stitching coming undone. 

This murderer was going to pay! Freya leapt at him, and he fired two more shots as he backed up. Freya dodged the bullets and grabbed Klines' necks. "That was Zoes friend, how dare you kill him."

 Freya pushed Kline against a tree, and he dropped the gun, he grabbed her arms trying to pull her hands off from around his neck. "Mattew! Stop her!" Kline choked out. Freya slammed her knee into Klines stomach and tightened her grip around his neck. "You are going to die." She seethed.

Both other men ran at her trying to throw her to the ground. Freya gripped Klines neck and flung him around. He toppled into the other men and the fell dangerously close to the fire. Freya took her chance and dashed off into the woods.

Her heart pounded in her ears. She had busted iron, without even trying to. Freya gripped her stomach and pushed forward. She looked up at the moons trying to get her bearings. 

This wasn't fair, she just wanted to go home, and have Mary tell her that everything would be okay. Hadn't she been through enough? Freya looked down at her trembling hands, she had done it again, she had wanted to kill someone, she could have broken his neck. Freya shook her head trying to clear it.

She ducked under a low hanging branch and slowed down. She leaned against a tree and pulled her shirt up. Her shirt was sticky with blood, her wound had been reopened. Freya gritted her teeth and let her shirt fall back down. 

Freya froze, a scent drifted down from the tree she was under. She looked up. The cloaked man smiled. "Hi." He gripped the branch above his head and swung down, hitting Freya in the chest. She flew backward and landed with a groan on her back. 

She gripped her stomach as her vision swam. She pulled herself to her feet and glanced around. He was gone. Freya felt beads of sweat dripping down her back and dripping from her forehead and into her eyes. She wasn't used to using her powers.

"Please, just tell Earth that we pose no threat! Let me go." The scent drifted toward her from the left and she spun around. The man sat on one of the low hanging branches. His feet dangling a few feet from the ground.

"Thats not what I'm getting pay for." he pulled his hood off. "Besides, I want to know why my sister died while giving you life, were you worth it?" Freya took a step back and she hit a tree. She looked down at her stomach and pulled her hand away, it was covered in blood.

"I'm sorry, I never hurt your sister. I never hurt anybody back on earth." Freya frowned as the past came back. Her tackling men to the ground as they tried to grab her, her breaking their arms, and when the cops had caught her, she had to knock them out.

 Freya frowned. She had never hurt a girl. Freya gasped and pressed her hand tighter to her stomach. The blood started to seep through her dark shirt and dripped down her pants. "Please, I have no information for earth, there is nothing here! Only peaceful Algras!" 

The cloaked man looked at her with his dark eyes. "They say my sister said something completely different when she came back." Freya's stomach clenched and she looked up at the man. "Your---your sister?" Those eyes, that's why they looked so familiar. 

Freya closed her eyes and looked away. "Your lying, mom never had siblings, they said she was an only child." the man chuckled. "didn't they tell you that this planet was safe? When they knew that there were monsters?" 

He jumped gracefully from the tree. "She told them that there were kind people on the planet, but also very, very bad people. People that could destroy earth, she told them that only her daughter could stop them."

 Freya glared at the man. "No, she tried to protect me! She wouldn't let them have me." The man gritted his teeth. "She became crazy once she had you, she craved your face, she killed the men that tried to stop her, it's all your fault, I loved my sister. She was kind and sweat, she would never hurt a small child." 

Freya leaned weakly against the tree as the man flung his arms out. "She ran with you, didn't tell anybody where she went, but they caught her. She told me that you were powerful and that she loved you, she wouldn't let anybody touch you, then she killed herself in front of me. You made her crazy. I was only seven, and she stabbed herself through the head." 

Freya spit out the rest of the blood in her mouth. "That wasn't my fault! Are you crazy!? I was a small baby!" Freyas uncle tilted his head. "Right, but I still have a job to do, you don't understand what is happening down on earth."

Freya pushed herself away from the tree as he lunged for her. She stumbled through the woods. She pushed herself off the trees, gripping her stomach tightly. Her head smashed into the ground, and she cried out as her arms were pinned behind her back. 

A stick dug into her stomach, and she stifled a moan. "I am begging---" Freya felt the gun smash into her head, and she blinked at her vision blurred.
