The Killer Instinct

Chapter 4

Katie's POV 2 Months Later

It's now been three months living on Lian Yu. I told Oliver I've been getting the feeling that I'm being watched or followed but he said I was being ridiculous. Oliver and I decided to split up and cover more ground for hunting. I was heading towards the stream where we reunited two months ago. I have killed some good meat over there and Oliver said he'll try by Lookout Rock.

I knelt down by the stream bed and started looking for pawprints.

"Hello..." A deep and raspy voice said from across the stream.

I immediately notched and arrow aiming it for the man.

"Who are you?" I demanded.

He was tall and had broad shoulders with black beard and hair. He wore a white shirt with gray pants. I recognized him immediately.

Slade Wilson.

"You've been following me..." I exclaimed. "So you've been waiting for me to be alone so you can kill me and get revenge on Oliver?"

Slade nodded and started to step across the stones, "He took everything from me so I'll take everything from him. But I think I'll make it fun."

I fired an arrow but he just caught it and broke it in half. I fired another and another and he dodged them all. Soon enough he was looming over me.

"Leave me alone!" I yelled stepping backwards only to fall.

My bow scattered on the rocks. Slade yanked my quiver off of me and tossed it by my bow. I tried sliding backwards but he stepped on my hand. I cried out in pain and he found my knife.

"Nice knife. Oliver gave this to you?" Slade said running his finger along the blade.

I shook my head, "It's mine."

He lowered the blade down to my ribs. He pressed it to my body and drew it across.

I screamed in pain.

Oliver's POV

I was heading back down Lookout Rock to meet up with Katie back at the plane when I heard a scream.

Katie's scream.

"KATIE!" I yelled and started running in her direction.

She said she was going by the stream so I took off, running faster.

Katie's POV

Slade cut me on my ribs, my forearm, and across the shoulder. I was writhing in pain and my knife was covered in my blood.

"KATIE!" I heard Oliver yell his voice getting closer.

"Hear that?! He's coming for you!" Slade pointed out.

"No..." I groaned. "He's coming for you!"

"I will kill everyone he cares about and then I will kill him!!!" Slade shouted in my face.

My fingers grazed across one of my arrows. I grabbed it and brought it closer to me.

"Too bad you'll be dead before that can happen..." I murmured and stabbed the arrow through his chest and coming out his back.
