CH22 - The End (Olivia’s POV)
I woke up to hear crunching of footsteps. I looked over to see the boys were in deep sleep while Maria and Katrina were awake but lying down, clutching their weapons. I gave them a deliberate blink and I grasped my sword tighter and the crunch came closer again. I tapped my fingers on the grass, counting down.
When I got to one, we flipped our blankets over our intruder and their yelps woke up the boys. I pulled out my sword and sliced my blanket, causing the person underneath to die immediately.
“Who was it?” Katrina asked me.
I pulled the blankets off the person and I sighed in sadness as I saw who it was. It was Jamie. He was only thirteen years old…I shook my head and pulled the body away from the area and walked back to the area where Katrina and Maria were preparing themselves and the boys for battle.
“What do you think? Of Jamie, I mean?” I asked Maria.
“I’m willing to bet he thought he could kill us at night so that way he and the others could go home once he had killed off James or Paul, more likely” Maria said, looking at the body almost in sympathy.
“So, two for Katrina and I while you get Riley. Fight him hard sis” I told Maria and she nodded before picking up her weapon.
Suddenly, the sky went dark…and that’s when we knew that the battle was going to begin. I pushed the boys back into the trees while Maria, Katrina and I walked into the middle of the area and took deep breaths…our eyes watching the forest cautiously.
Suddenly, one of the girls leapt out of the trees and collided onto me and we tumbled around and I threw her off me. I flipped my hair back and picked up my sword and looked at this girl in front of me. I recognised her as Kelsey.
She had curly blonde hair and light blue eyes. She had a tipped up nose and had a bunch of freckles across her face and her eyes were filled with scorn and her face and body was covered in dirt. She growled at me and I noticed the weapon she had in her hand was a spear. I grinned internally. This is just great.
I jumped onto my feet and twirled with my sword in my hand before she threw her spear. It narrowly passed me as I changed my body to a profile view. I tried to attack her legs but she jumped up and over me. I got back up and she tackled me and pulled out a pair of familiar weapons. I gasped as I realised they were Lily’s! My mind clouded with anger and I shoved her off me and I sliced my sword through the air and it barely scratched her.
She laughed at me and I growled from the back of my throat. We continued to battle and I could feel myself getting tired and I decided it was time to end this. I ducked her stack before stabbing my sword straight into her chest. She gave a gasp before I pulled my sword back out and she collapsed onto the ground…
“Tell my family….I’m sorry” She whispered to me and I nodded. It was her final wish. The best thing I could do is try to fulfil this wish.
(Katrina’s POV)
I gasped as Kelsey attacked Olivia but I knew she could handle her. I twirled my double bladed sword in my hand and I watched before I could see my next opponent running up to me. I knew this was James. He was going to be hard to kill.
He was very muscular, quite light on his feet too. He had strength and agility on his side but he didn’t have speed. I grinned to myself, knowing it was my advantage. I raced up to meet him and I gasped as I realised he had a sword. I nodded inwardly and we began out battle.
He sliced his sword across the air and I bended back and flipped over. I groaned, knowing I should’ve done more flips when I was younger. I flipped my double sword and we battled harder than before. I felt sweat pouring down my face and he began to notice I was wearing out so he was using his strength against me.
