Into The Woods

Broken

Blade halted, and hushed everyone as they were starting to walk past.

  Everyone stopped, and looked at Blade. Blade squinted, and saw three guards at the door.

  Blade pushed past some leafs, Garth and Darren followed behind. Darren swung at a guard. The guard ducked, and Darren stepped back in time for the guards swing to fly past without hitting him.

  Darren chuckled, "Nice try." he said. Darren kicked his boot up into the guard's chin, and sent him flying into the aluminum door.

  Garth was busy fighting a guard, and the guard pushed Garth onto his back. The guard taunted, "I've heard a lot about you. Garth The Great walked out, and he was the best. Your fire burnt out."

  Garth frowned, and sent his leg into the guards knee. He guard bent one knee, and Garth swung his foot into the guard's stomach. The guard flew backwards into the tree.

  Blade was backing up as the guard inched forward. Blade wiggled his fingers, gesturing the guard to come at him, "Come at me, man."

   The guard swung, but got caught by Blade's hand. Blade twisted the fist, and the man curled over in pain.

   Blade sent his elbow into the man's back, and the guard bent over Blade's leg.

  Blade quickly took his knee down, and raised it up with much force, and sent his knee into the man's head.

  Blade dusted his hands off as the guard collapsed, he glanced around at everyone else who had just finished up.

  Blade gestured to the door, "Shall we?"

   Garth nodded, and pushed open the door. Stairs led down into a hallway, and everyone walked down.

   Amelia spit out blood into the floor. Lacey frowned, "Seriously? That's nasty."

  Amelia with her little might left, looked up. Her hair was covered in blood, and her clothing too. Her eyes were almost swollen shut, and as was her mouth.

   She laughed randomly. Lacey's brow furrowed, "What's so funny?"

   Amelia replied, "You think you're winning, but you'll be stopped."

  Lacey shrugged, "By who? Little lover boy, Blade?"

  Amelia nodded, "Yeah."

  Lacey huffed, "Don't hold your breath, Honey. What little you have left anyways."

Lacey strode forward and clenched her fist. Her fist slammed into Amelia's chest.

  Amelia gasped out, and slowly regained her slow breathing.

   Lacey chuckled, "You want to know a secret?"

  Amelia shrugged, "You'll tell me anyways."

   Lacey laughed, "Correct. My father once told me, if the war ever ended with us loosing, that I need to restart it, and retake what's mine."

   Lacey looked back at the door swinging open. Pain, or Justin, was panicked, "Ma'am! Blade, Garth, and Darren have made it in!"

  Lacey chuckled, "Well, go stop them!"

  Justin took no time to close the door and rush off. Lacey smirked to Amelia, "Here's lover boy now. Too bad he won't get to see you like this, you're all.." she paused, "What's the word I'm looking for?"

   She tapped her chin, and smiled after a second, "Ah, yes! Broken."

  Amelia mustered up enough strength to yell. Lacey was already walking out when Amelia started yelling, "Leave him alone! Don't touch him!" Lacey closed the door, "Get back here! Listen to me!" Amelia shouted after the door slammed shut.

  ~•~

  Garth halted as he was in front. Blade looked over, and a large pile of guards were approaching.

  Blade looked down the other hallway, and another pile of guards were coming.

  Blade sighed in annoyance.

  Suddenly, guards came from behind!

  Blade swung high, but the guard ducked, and slammed his fist into Blade's stomach. Blade tried to dodge a guard beside him, and ended up letting the fist hit his stomach.

  Another guard placed his hands on Blade's shoulders and slammed him into the ground after Blade was hit in the stomach.

   Blade struggled, but slowly lost his ability to fight after a shot was injected in him. Blade looked over to Garth and Darren. They also had shots stuck in them. As their eyes slowly closed, Blade realized they looked broken.

  Blade's vision slowly blurred, and faded into black.
