The Prophecy- Book 1

Chapter Ten

"What's in it for you? Why would you join our cause when you have no issues killing?" Angel was drilling him. Wanting to make sure he would not try to kill them.

"You don't know the rest of the legend do you?" He looked at me with that smirk again..

"Don't worry I promise I won't kill anyone while I am aboard your ship. That's what you're wondering right? I will be a gentleman unless... she feels like getting dirty." He looked straight at me and winked. The thought of him killing Kato still fresh in my mind I recoiled feeling disgusted at the thought, which must have been written on my face.

He gave me a funny look. Apparently he was not used to that reaction. "Suit yourself princess, you're not my type anyways." He stretched his perfectly sculpted body." then he tensed up. "We have to go now. We have company."

"Who, no one knows we are here?" It was more of a question then a statement.

"The emperor's men, who else?" He said scowling.

Angel raised his eyebrows in surprise. "How, we were really careful not to tell anyone"

"Why don't you ask the traitor amongst you leaking information to the Emperor. The one you guys seem to let stay with you?" We could not argue that logic.

"We don't know who it is. We trust everyone who is privy to the knowledge." Angel told him.

"Well except one." I added. Angel gave me a hard look.

Rayvan grabbed a black tank top and put his cloak on over it. "Whatever, we will deal with it later, let's get out of here."

He walked to the door and peeked out. Then, he motioned to us. "Angelos," He used his race name. "you lead, I will cover us. Keep the princess in between us at all times."

Angel glared at him, but did not say anything. He did not like being ordered around.

With that we began running down the hall. We heard footsteps coming up behind us. Then shouts and then there was gunfire.

I turned to look. Rayvan grabbed me and shoved me behind him and he began to shoot back at them. "Keep moving." At the end of the corridor take a left. Then take the next right." We started moving.

We ducked around the corner. More men were coming from that direction. I pulled out my blaster, and Angel did the same. We began to shoot. I turned to check on Rayvan who had momentarily turned to help shoot our way through the door. I saw a man coming at Rayvan, and pulled a knife out throwing it over his shoulder. Rayvan looked as a man dropped to the ground then back to me. I smirked at him.

Then, he grabbed my head and pulled me behind him and grabbed the guy that snuck up behind me. And twisted his neck breaking it. The guy fell in a heap. Then he smirked back at me. Showoff.

Finally, we managed to make to the door, and we ran through. We were in the hanger now. We started running to the ship, dodging blaster shots the whole time.

The crew seemed to see the danger and began starting up the ship.

We continued to take turns shooting back at them covering each other's retreat.

Once we made it to the ship we ran up the ramp, and they closed it behind us. We were flying through the air within seconds. Barely making it threw the now closing doors of the hanger.

I leaned against the wall covering my eyes and sighed with relief, the adrenaline leaving my body, making me feel drained. I realized in that moment that I had killed some of those men. Did that make me murderer? Did that make me like Rayvan?
