The Runaway Huntress

CHAPTER 14

       Seething in annoyance, she goes on full throttle to scare the girl behind her. Melisca's body almost went stiff and she can't feel her limbs anymore. Forcing her hand to move a little, to slow down her speed before they crush together on the road.

       "Slow down for my life's sake, Liz!" Lorna shrieked as the girl's headgear touched Melisca's back, sideways. She did not attempt to look on the highway for the speed blows her soul away from her body.

       "You should have considered that before sticking out the needle on my lap." She managed to say as the strength left her and she can't flex her fingers anymore. It had become frozen on the grip.

       She bit her bottom lip to feel something even just a tiny bit of pain until her tongue tasted the blood from her chewed lips. This can't be happening. Her body began immobilizing and she's on her motorcycle at top speed for damn's sake!

        Anticipating the shortness of breath when she had first suffered the effects of the syringe, if they would crash on the highway, her only problem would be the big bike which she loves so much and then Lorna's neck. If the girl could survive the impact. But she can't allow that to happen on her watch. She had decided to stick with the girl and maybe everything would fall into place.

       "Don't worry, the effects would just be minimal if you are really normal. But please slow down! O-or else you could kill us both and you can't avenge for your sister!" The tremble in her voice somehow made Melisca smirked on her head. Giving Lorna the fright of ride on her life, satisfied her. She had to teach her somehow that her impulsive act can have threatening consequences. And Lorna shouldn't just thrust those needles of hers anywhere and whenever she wants.

       But the manipulation of the girl's reasoning to survive still irked her.  She doesn't have to say that repeatedly. To live to strike back of what had been done to her, for that is what she lives for. No need to be reminded anymore.

        They now entered the forest area as they passed the arrays of tower-like trees on each side of the road. Steeling her eyes on their way as she tried to ignore the burning pain in her lungs. Only the thought that the effects would be gone soon is what only keeping herself from tossing the girl behind her intentionally when she recovers. She's lucky enough that Melisca still had something to do with her or else she would have left her with the man-wolf chasing her just a while ago.

       The girl could have thrust the needle to her when they had stopped over at someplace. But instead, Lorna was very excited to strike her with the pointy weapon just after she said that the girl can find it out herself if Melisca is human.

      Melisca, as her wolf vision activated, she spotted two tanker trucks a few kilometres straight ahead. The vehicles crossing towards the intersection, she could have halted for it and wait after it had crossed over.  But as her body went immobile, thanks for the inconsiderate girl behind her, she won't be able to step on the break, or even move the grip to slow them down.

       "Oh my God! Please have mercy, don't get me killed!" Lorna cried out as she saw what could be coming before them if her crazy driver won't stop to let the trucks on their way. She had closed her eyes inside the helmet, mumbling a miracle to save them. Melisca had not uttered a single word since then when she had injected her.

      "I'm really sorry, please. I won't ever do that again on you." Her tone of pleading reached Melisca's ears.

       If only the girl knew that it was her fault for puncturing the needle that made her unable to control the grip to ease their speed.

       The two trucks were now crossing and they were only a meter away. Lorna turned her head, don't want to see herself being mowed by a truck.

        "No!" Lorna screamed in herself for the ride she's on.
