Two worlds brothers-conflict book 2

Stop saying that

Eliza reacts as fast as she can and twists her body towards the building. Her hands scape the brick walls and her nails break painfully, still she doesn't stop until her fingers are able to latch on to an incredibly thin ledge.

Eliza stays there dangling, several feet in the air. She looks down at the ground and takes a deep breath. She pushes herself off the wall in a backflip. Her eyes focus on the ground below her and as she's going to hit it, she bends her knees and rolls until she's erased the momentum of her fall.

Eliza stays on the ground breathing hard and clutching her ribs. Everything hurts but still she has to make it to the car. She rolls over grunting and limps slightly to the black car waiting for her. She's halfway there when someone somewhere opens fire on her. Her adrenaline spikes again and she sprints towards the car. One of the bullets hits her already injured leg, Eliza stumbles but pushes through the pain. She jumps over the cars hood and scrambles into the car. She waits for the driver but there is none.

"You're kidding!" She yells as she scrambles into the drivers seat. She turns the key and speeds out of there. The gps system in the car instructs her to her final destination point. It takes her half and hour to get there, half an hour of her leg screaming in protest and her wrist throbbing painfully. Eliza would kill for some morphine.

Finally at the destination point, Eliza parks and limps out.

"Hey you're walking this time" Tony greets her and huffs some smoke in her face

"Shut up" she growls and storms past him into the cottage, where her doctor is waiting

"Hey, you're walking this time" he points out as she lays on the table

"Not you too" she whines, he chuckles and holds a chloroform soaked cloth over her nose and mouth

"Sleep" he smiles and Eliza takes deep breaths, after a minute her eyes begin to droop and her pain starts to disappear.

She wakes up some hours later, everything still hurts but now it's a dull pain. She groans as she stands up. Doc is gone but Tony is there.

"Good you're awake" he says putting his phone away

"Now can I go home?" Eliza asks

"Sure kid" Tony says and hands her the car keys "I have another errand to run so you'll have to go alone"

"That's fine" she grunts and limps her way to the door

"Hey," Tony says putting a hand on her shoulder "you did good kiddo, Kazuo will be impressed, and highly satisfied. You've proven yourself once more. You've proven that you have what it takes to be a powerful heir"

"Thank you" Eliza nods

"Now go home" Tony smiles "and I'm glad to see you walking"

"Stop saying that" she says rolling her eyes at him, he chuckles and leaves. Eliza makes it home an hour later, someone is waiting for her as she steps out of the car.

"He is waiting for you" he says bowing

"Thank you" Eliza smiles. She raises her hand to fix her hair but lowers it. Warriors don't feel shame of how they look after a fight. So she squares her shoulders and goes into Kazuo's house.
