Oliver lay against a window as he watched Evelyn and Felix circle each other. The assassin had his electric eskrima sticks and Evelyn had a few stolen weapons and her twin daggers.

“Join the King Evelyn he won’t hurt you” Felix pleaded.

“He already has” Evelyn spat back.

“How?” Felix asked.

“He made you stab my mother in the back... literally” Evelyn explained. They exchanged murderous glances as they paced like sharks around each other.

“We don’t need to fight” said Evelyn. “You can help us defeat the King and save the future generations of Evergreen or you can cause further bloodshed and suffering. The only reason I kill is to keep the soldiers from going back to the King and telling him where we are and any secrets they knew. I’m on the path that is trying to save lives but you are on the path of destruction and unfairness. King Luther is using monsters to win. He’s cheating just to keep his throne and power. He’s the reason women are viewed as only sex symbols or slaves. He’s causing animals to go extinct just so he can expand his territory or gain money. Is that really the side you really want to be on” she lectured.

Felix tightened his grip on his sticks and clenched his teeth. “You think your choice causes no blood fall. Think again woman” Felix snarled. He charged at her. Evelyn quickly drew a sword from her belt and smashed Felix’s electric sticks to bits.

He pulled out a sword and the siblings were locked in combat. Each fighter had their own way of fighting with a sword. Evelyn was graceful and spun, twirled, and used complex combos while Felix just tried hard to slice her.

Oliver was still shaking a bit from his electrical experience. He wandered were that girl went that Felix had trapped.

Evelyn kicked Felix’s sword and cut a small wound in Felix’s cheek. Felix quickly drew a Tazer and shocked Evelyn.  He grabbed her arm and threw as hard as he could.

Authors note (Evergreeners have super strength, and super endurance)

Evelyn crashed into the roof and several wooden tables. She quickly flipped up and pounced like a cat on Felix’s shoulders. She swung around his neck and kicked his legs out from under him. She had him pinned until he managed to shock her again.

Oliver wanted to help Evelyn but he knew he would he killed. He had no fight training. He couldn’t believe he was still alive.

Evelyn and Felix battled with broken chair legs. Felix overcame her with his strength and got a nice blow and her face.

“You’ve always been my little sister. Both by age and height, you’re like a foot shorter than me” Felix mocked. As he was laughing Evelyn kicked him square and the chest and sent him rocketing threw a table and into the wall. She pulled out her twin daggers and Felix and Evelyn met in a clash of steel.

Evelyn fought with lightning speed and Felix couldn’t keep up. She cut his leg and did a very complex martial arts take down that Oliver couldn’t comprehend. Oliver waited for her to kill Felix but she didn’t.

He then realized she was fighting to kill… only to win.

“Give up and leave” she ordered Felix.  She turned and gave a quick glance to Oliver and turned back and Felix was gone.

“Where did he go?” she asked.
