Birds of Prey

Chapter 7: The Offer

Notes from the author: Nyssa and Allison have a little reunion while Barry and Laurel try to get free. Happy reading!
When they got to the tribes camp, Laurel and Barry were tied to a post while Nyssa was taken to Allison's private quarters.
Inside Allison's room, Nyssa was lying on the ground when a bucket of water was dumped on her. The assassin jumped to her feet, but was met by two bald men, pointing spears at her.
"Nice to see that you woke up." Allison announced as she walked over to Nyssa and the two men keeping Nyssa at bay with their spears.
"Leave us. There is a lot I have to discuss with Nyssa before we kill her. The two men didn't like the idea, but obey as they exit the room.
"If you're going to kill me then why am I not tied up like my friends? Nyssa asked.
"Because I want to make you an offer." Allison said.
"What kind of offer?"
"To join me. I have so much I can give you." Allison tells Nyssa.
"And if I refuse?" Nyssa asked.
"I'll kill you."
Barry and Laurel were still tied to the post when Barry comes up with a way to get free.
"Barry what are you doing?" Laurel asked.
"I'm getting free then I'm going to untie you." Barry replied.
Barry start rubbing his wrists back and forth, using his speed. The ropes begin to give way and snap. Then Barry unties his feet and walks over to Laurel and unties her.
"So what do we do now?" Barry asked Laurel
"We try and free Nyssa." Laurel replied.
"I hope you have some kind of plan instead of charging in and going out in blaze of glory."
"Don't worry I have a plan."
Allison's Tent
"Have you consider my offer?" Allison asked.
"I have." Nyssa replies.
"And?"
"I rather die with my friends than join you."
"So be it." Allison said.
"What are you waiting for? Kill me already." Nyssa commanded.
"Oh, you thought that I meant... No, my dear Nyssa, you'll be hunted like an animal then I'll kill you."
"If you think that I'm going to play your sick little game..."
"I don't think I know you are." Allison said. And that would be the last thing Nyssa heard Allison say as she is clubbed in the back of the head.
"What should we do with her now?" One of the tribal men asked Allison.
"Put her in the cage and leave it in the woods." Allison replied.
