Born to Kill |Clato|

Chapter 4

The road was quiet, after picking Cassidy up the boy didn’t talk much. The little one clung to me as if I was her only hope; I felt the fear get out her small trembling fingers, cold because of the mist from the forest.

I had to be strong for us, but I couldn’t trust him just because he’s helping us, life has taught me not to trust everyone who crosses your path.

—"Cato, you where are you from?" —I had to find things out, by hook or by crook.

—"Uhm… I’m from two obviously"— his voice was as cold as the air that made me have goose bumps.

—"Of course you’re from two, but from what part of two?" I have never seen you around"—He ignored me completely. It will be the hard way then.

—"Cass don't move until he answers, are you sure we can trust him?" — I whispered to my sister, that guy gives me a bad feeling.

—"I think so, he was nicer with me and he looked like he really wanted to help” — if he was able to convince my sister...

—"Are you coming or not?" — He shouted from a few meters ahead.

I didn't see very well in the dark and it wasn’t until I touched the bark of a tree that I remembered Cato was wounded.

—"You know, you need to heal that wound" — the blood felt hot between my fingers, viscous and sticky.

—"I'm fine, it’s nothing" — I shook my head, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with a stubborn.

—"You won’t be saying the same when you’ve passed out, is there a lake or something around here?”— My hands began to burn, tickles roamed every place where the knives had met my skin.

—"I told you I'm fine, you better shut up and walk If we keep this pace we’ll arrive at dawn" — Besides all he has a temper, you found really good help Cassidy.

—"You never told me where we're going, is it too far? Cassidy can’t walk too much or she’ll start feeling bad, it has been a long night. "— I stroked her cheek with my free hand and received a weak smile in return.

Suddenly I heard leaves break and Cass left me giving a muffled cry. My head hit something hard and I couldn’t breathe, I had something on me something heavy that wouldn’t let me move.

I opened my eyes and found myself with the furious gaze of blond boy that had me dam against the hard ground.

—"Shut up! Would you little princess? You are annoying me  with all these questions, I am saving you and your sister’s ass and if you don’t want me to leave you abandoned here, you’ll better obey me and don’t ever open your mouth again, ok? "— My eyes became two small slits that looked coldly at his own. I said nothing, there was nothing to say.

He was slowly standing up, making me relax and with his index finger glued to his lips he turned around and continued walking.

—"Are we there, yet? How long would it take to get there?" — My sister was about to fall, we hadn’t eaten all day and it seemed like the idiot of Cato was making us walk to nowhere.

—"I don't know Cass, but if you're tired you can climb on my back I will take you from here"— she climbed a trunk and put her arms around my neck, she is as light as a feather and everything is fault of the attempt of father we have, even with what I steel is not enough to eat three times a day.

Her breath hit the back of my neck and gave me strength to keep fighting. She is the person that I care the most for in the whole world and I will not let her live miserably another minute.
