She dragged me into the hall and as soon as we passed through the doors she dropped my arm. For some reason I felt like I was missing something without it there. How odd.
"Can you fight with your arm?" she sounded awfully concerned, for the person who broke my arm.
"Yeah," I say through clenched teeth.
"Good. You're gonna have to," she warns and grabs my good arm, dragging me to the left.
"So you were the first?" I ask as we run. She makes a grunt that I assume means yes. "What was he like? I mean as a normal guy."
"Normal? Never normal, but saner? He was better, I guess," she shrugs and then stops. "Here is where we're gonna test that arm capability of yours."
I peered over her shoulder and saw around fifty robots waiting for us. Pink sighed, reached up and ripped a pipe from the ceiling. She handed it to me, gripping my hand. "Bend your arm. Let the muscles absorb the shock." she released the bar and positioned her knife. "Let's do this."
She sliced through robots and I was right along with her. Oil leaked into my shoes but I ignored it. In fact I could hear nothing while I was chopping down these robots. It was a stroke of luck that I heard Pink shout "duck!"
I bent down as the whistle of a knife whipped over my head and chopped the head off a robot that was trying to blind side me. I spent no time on that and kicked out a robot, stabbing my pipe through it and releasing my grip.
I was startled to see blood on the floor. I panicked and felt my arms, then I slowly turned to pink. She had a long cut going from her cheek bone to her jaw but she was smiling.
"Haven't fought like that in a while," she pants with a faint amused smile.
"You're bleeding," I say, trying to touch her cheek but she pushes my hand away.
"Yeah. And those robots are dead. In other obvious new..." she left the rest hang and turned down the hall. "I know where we have to go. Come!"
She runs down the halls and I try to follow after her. This girl is a freakish cat! she doesn't make a single sound as her feet pad down the halls. And then there's me, squeaking after her with my sneakers. I scream professional.
She led me to a room with a portal like door. I knew where this was. "He'll no," I say and turn to leave. I hear her laugh and she grabs my arm, pulling me through the portal with her.
We fell into a damp clearing and my breath racked my chest. Pink landed besides me and managed to puff out a laugh. I roll my head to her and raise an eyebrow.
"Do you always find enjoyment with pain?" I ask. She manages to sit up and I see her clothes and hair are coated with mud. I feel my own and feel the same thing.
"Mostly," she admits, getting up and dusting off some dirt. I join her and look around. There were large green leafed trees surrounding us and birds flapped noisily over head.
"Where are we?" I wonder aloud.
"The forest of course," pink responds. I turn to her and she smiles. It was a twisted smile.
