Our Hidden World

Chapter 61

Control by Halsey

---------------------------------

Josephine's P.O.V.:

Eli and I fight back to back against the four hunters around us. I got to say these guys are way better fighters than the ones we were fighting in the field. No wonder Regina has them in her group.

I'm fighting a man and woman who both seem to not be able to fight without weapons. I had disarmed them a few minutes ago and it seems like they can't throw that powerful of punches. Eli on the other hand has two gigantic, muscular guys going at him and, although, they don't have speed on their side they seem to be able to throw some heavy punches and they know how both of them fight so they can work together, unlike the two I am fighting.

The browned haired woman goes to a right hook and I easily block it but I'm not ready for the kick I get to the abdomen. I stumble a few steps to catch my balance but it's too late and I'm tackled to the ground. I'm flipped over and in a matter of seconds I'm being repeatedly pummelled by their fists. I try to lift my arms up to block but it's useless they're pinned to the ground. Figures, I think. Blood is running down my face and I know that they're not going to let up till I'm dead. I make a split decision and change into a mouse.

Once I'm out of arm's reach I change back and before they can register what happened and where I am. I throw two pieces of earth at them. The woman's eyes widen when she sees it quickly coming toward her, she tries to duck but it still hits her, hitting her in the head, she collapses to the ground. The man is a different story. He ducks in time and the chunk of earth goes whizzing by him and hitting one of the guys fighting Eli. He yells in pain once it hits him.

My last hunter, hopefully, comes running towards me. I wipe the blood out off my eyes and get ready to be tackled... again. Just as he's about to full on body slam me a bright light flashes in my peripheral vision. Taken by surprise the man trips and falls onto the ground in front of me. I swiftly kick him in the head knocking him out and turn in the direction of where the light came from.

I find Landon standing over Mary who's laying on the ground and Shannon laying on the ground knocked out a few feet away from them. I look over at Eli and see him also starring Landon. He looks over at me with a questioning look and I just shrug my shoulders.

Well we now know what Landon can do, Brooke says, as she punches the man she's fighting in the face. She walks over to us.

"Yes, but we still don't know what he is," I point out and say. "Well that's one of them down for the count but we still have Regina to worry about." I watch as Landon turns to Mary and helps her up.

"I don't know it seems like Greyson and Luna have that problem under control to," Brooke says and points to the Northern side of the little clearing we are in. Luna is in human form fighting Regina while Greyson is in wolf form and by the looks of it it's not going well for Regina. She has multiple bite marks in her legs and arms and her blood is running down her head. It also looks like she's losing energy because her moves are becoming sluggish but I guess I was wrong because in one swift moment Luna is knocked into a tree. Greyson goes running toward her but out of nowhere a black rod shows up in her hand, she hits him the ribcage he goes flying into a tree a few feet away.

"Is it just me or does this seem familiar to you?" Brooke says.

"No this looks familiar," Eli says.

"Eli, I want you to get those two out of here along with Landon and Mary," I order. He hesitates then nods. I look over at Brooke. "Let's go finish this." We walk towards Regina. She looks up at us as we get closer with a sadistic smirk on her face.

"Finally done using your cronies to fight me," She says taking a few steps towards us.

"This is going to end now, Regina," Brooke says.

She throws her head back and cackles, "This won't end till you're all buried six feet under."

"This totally reminds me of all those movies we watch," Brooke whispers. Eli, Mary, and Landon quietly pick up Luna and Greyson and walk into the woods. Regina kneels down and picks up two Gerber Mark II.

"So let's finish this, Regina," I say. Brooke gives me a really look and I shrug.

"Oh we are," Regina says before slicing her arm in an arm toward Brooke.
