Chapter 2

He closed his eyes and thought over it for a few seconds. Opening up a little section in the wall, he slides his duffle bag inside, closing the part of the wall. After putting the picture back into place, he pushes on the picture just a bit, waiting a few seconds as he hears a click. It locked the hidden compartment in the wall up, waiting for him to unlock it once he comes back. The crying the kid let out was getting softer, and it was only when he finally reached the area where the child is, to find out it's a young teenage girl. 'Who is she? Did she sneak in or something when everyone was leaving?' he thought to himself.

There was a tall man dress in dark clothing, the mask he wore on his face symbolized that he was one of the men leading the group, or however many people that are still roaming through the building. He looked down at his own attire, black, with dark green blobs all around the clothing. Great, camouflage would do nice, if only they were in the dark. As of now, they had a few lamps on, so enough light for them to see, but not give away their own position. He quickly unsnapped a button from his jacket, reaching in, you could hear the faint sound of metal against metal.

Ikurav pulled out several throwing knives, and three ninja stars from his pocket, just as the man he saw earlier bend toward the girl to whisper something in her ear. Out of reaction, he threw the first knife at the guy closest to him, then the farthest one. Time seemed to slow down as he readied himself, first the man was surprised when two of his men went down. While the rest of his comrades thought they had a heart attack or something, he quickly changed his mind when he saw someone at the door. Ikurav went into his left pocket, grabbing out a small black ball, which he throws it into the center of the room.

The ball erupts into black smoke, causing two people to come out of the room, and they were the easy ones to take out. He slide the knife across both of their necks, if was like cutting through butter. He looked inside, and knew he only had a minute at best to finish the others off if he wanted to save this girl. Silently moving in, several accidently bumped into him, he slammed the few knives he had into their throats. Pulling two knives back out of the necks, he proceeded his way to the girl. Gunshot was heard, it rang in his ear as blood dripped from his left shoulder, and he realized that he's been shot.

The pain wasn't all that bad like he was told, nor did he care, he could see the outline of the man just a few feet away. 'This is bad, if I don't do something soon, both the girl and I will be dead. I must finish this quickly, he could have called for more people to come,' Ikurav thought to himself. Tossing the last ball into the air, it exploded, letting thick black smoke come out of it, spreading throughout the room. He moved closer, only to jump to the left to avoid a knife being thrown at him, he threw one of the knives in the direction where he thought the man was at. It hit its mark, the man got hit in his left leg.

All of a sudden, the next thing he knew was that he was on the ground, and his stomach hurt. The guy was in front of him, and was ready to bring down the knife he held, it looked familiar. Taking a closer look, Ikurav knew it was the knife that stabbed the man in the left leg. Before he could even think of how to get out of this situation, or even to have the man bring down the knife into his body. Ikurav looked down to the last place he seen the girl, but was surprised to see her gone. 'Where did she go?' was the only thing he thought before he got his answer, which was the girl stabbing the man in the back where his heart should be.

The man's facial expression changed from rage, to concern with a hint of fear. Not letting time get by him, Ikurav quickly spun on the ground, letting his right leg sweep the man from under his own legs. He stopped spinning as soon as the male's body hit the floor, swinging his right hand up and over, he brought his last knife into the man's neck. Falling back on the ground, he let out a long sigh of relief, before looking into the girl's direction to see how she was. Despite the wrinkled clothes, and dry blood from the others, she looked fine to him.

Narrowing his eyes, he notices a few things about her that he should have noticed before. Like the fact that she looks nearly sixteen years old, the clothing she had was very different than any that he's seen. 'Perhaps I should take her with me, at least until I can get her to safety. There was a safe house they told us about in case we-' he stopped thinking to himself once he heard movement from afar. Ikurav looked at the girl and tried whispering something to her, but she couldn't hear, even though she was only a few feet from her. Guess she was scared because more people might show up, or she just couldn't read words from lips.
