Never again

Hunters

-warning for blood and slight gore descriptions

Driving through the city was surprisingly peaceful. The tall buildings were strangely beautiful even though they were far worn down.

Korvo was lost in thought, looking at the once full buildings. He didn't even mind Terry humming to himself or the kids in the back bickering. Maybe it was his tired mind but he at that moment felt pretty content.

Of course, that ended as soon as Korvo was forcibly smacked back into reality.

He hit the brakes once again, throwing his team forward.

"Ahh!! Seriously, you have to stop doing that." Terry loudly complained. But the look on Korvo's face made him stop in his tracks instantly.

In front of them was a man. He was hunched over clutching his stomach.

"Please...help!" He yelled to them as he limped forward.

To any other idiot this may have seemed to be an injured man seeking help but Korvo was much more observant. He could see the blood was dark and dry.

He looked around. There was no doubt there were others hiding all over the area. In the rear view mirror he could already see two more guys come out of corners.

'Oh fuck.'

'They trapped us'

"Are we going to help him?"

There isn't a way out.

"Yumyulack, Jesse, get down on the floor and cover your heads..."

"But what about the guy?"

"He's not even hurt."

Without thinking Korvo hit the gas. The so-called "injured" man pulls out a gun and fires directly at them. Thankfully, none of them are hurt but that doesn't stop Korvo from hitting the guy fully.

"Holy shit-Korvo!!"

More men ran out from behind garbage and rubble and started throwing bricks and shooting at them.

Korvo didn't think twice about hitting the idiots who tried to shoot them head on. His only focus was to get them the hell out of there.

"Watch out!!"

Before Korvo could even swerve away a bus collided with their small truck hard. They went flying across the street as they all screamed.

Korvo failed to gain control of the vehicle as they crashed into the city's convenient store. The truck finally came to a stop as it hit a beam in the middle of the isles.

The trucks horn continued to honk long and loud adding on to the dreadful fear that just happened.

"Haah...is-is everyone okay??" Korvo frantically looked around to his team.

"We're okay." Jesse answered. Truthfully, they looked beat up but fine for just being in a car crash.

Korvo unbuckled himself and Terry with urgency. "We need to leave right now-"

Suddenly, the door to Jesse's side was ripped open. One of the men roughly grabbed Jesse by the arms and yanked her out of the car.

"No, Get off of me!! Dad!!"

"Jesse?!"

Before either Terry or Korvo could get out of their seats to help Yumyulack dove and grabbed his sister by the ankle. He pulled her back in as much as he could before his own door opened behind him. His face was slammed into the seating and he himself was ripped away from the car.

"Let go of me you chicken shit!"

"No!"

Korvo practically bursted out the car.

"Ahhhh !!" Korv turned to see his young teenage teammate biting the shit out of a guy's arm. Unfortunately, the much stronger man practically punched the kid to the ground. He climbed on top of him and started to strangle the 15 year old boy.

He didn't get far before Korvo kicked his face in. Grabbing his head he shoved the guys face into the cashier counter as hard as he could. Blood splattered everywhere as he could hear his skull crack open.

Yumyulacks coughing and wheezing brought him back to reality. He ran up to the boy, putting his hand on his shoulders. "Yumyulack, are you okay?"

"Im...im fine.." he said between coughs.

Suddenly, an ear piercing scream echoed through the store.

Shit, Terry and Jesse!

Both Yumyulack and Korvo raced to the other side of the truck only to see a gruesome sight.

"Baby, are you okay?"

"Uh huh.."

Terry held Jesse's face gently. His hands were covered in blood. Right besides them was the dead body of the man who tried to abduct Jesse. A glass shard buried deep into his neck.

Terry looked up to see Korvo and Yumyulack and quickly helped Jesse up to her feet.

"We have to get the fuck out of here, man."

"Right there with you."

Korvo went back into the truck and hurriedly threw their backpacks out.

Once everyone had their things they quickly moved out.

They ran as fast as they could to other buildings. Desperate to find a way out of this hell hole.
