Zayden

2 months ago...

Gunshots zoomed past my head as I ran through the dark, barreling past branches. They were out to get me. Not that I didn't see it coming though. I knew that girl was shady, but damn she was fine. The first one to get the best of me for sure. I couldn't really resist myself though, I mean it didn't help that I was roofied but I guess that's what I get for following my dick. 

I was stripped of everything I had, money, weapons, and clothes. They took me to a place somewhere in the woods, along with my friends. God knows what the hell happened to them. But, until I could get away from these gang members and able to get supplies I could go back and get them. I mean they are my family, and I'd kill to protect them.

They were still behind me laughing and hooting, chasing me like a hunt. Who knew I'd become the prey? But still, I ran, naked, but running. Trying to find a place to hide. My surroundings were dark and I couldn't see much, but there was a spot that caught my attention. a small hill going down the side of where I was running. I quickly turned, and with them being too far away to really see me, I rolled down it. it wasn't that far down, but it still packed a few punches. when I reached the bottom I laid low a little waiting for them to pass by. The echoes of their voices came closer, and within moments became distant. Silently I got up from the ground, and went in the opposite direction, back to the place that I just came from. I was going to get my friends back, but first I needed a plan. I could use the shadows to my advantage, but it would be a little risky without weapons. It's a good thing I was trained in hand combat. 

I reached the end of the hill and climbed up to the top, still following my tracks. I continued, hoping that my friends were still alive. But, torture could be deadly. 

I was getting close, so close that I could hear the guards talking, and soon even the lights of the house. I stopped in my tracks to observe. I only heard two of them, but with the lights illuminating their figures I could see at least four. Two by the entrance and two by the edge of the woods. If I was lucky I could take them down. I lowered my head to the ground looking for a distraction. I was in luck, there was a rock. I picked it up and threw it in the direction opposite of me.

"what was that?" asked one of the guards.

He pointed his gun in the direction of the sound and motioned for two of his buddies to back him up. The one by the entrance and the other one by the woods. When they were far enough away I snuck through the woods to the side of the building. Quickly I ran through the little field the house was on, and put my back to the sidewall. I inched my way closer to the corner of the guard. Luckily he was facing the direction of his buddies. He didn't hear or see me coming. With haste, I knocked the gun out of his hands while quickly covering his mouth. Dragging him to the side of the house, I snapped his neck, and silently crept around to pick up his weapon. With his buddies still distracted I crept inside and locked the door behind me. I soon found myself in the same room that lead me to my freedom and even the same stairs. I took them down and they lead me to a huge metal door. I slowly opened it and peeked my head inside. Chained to the ceiling was my friends. They were badly beaten. I rushed inside. 

"Wake up," I cried as I made my way to each of them. Their heads lifted.

"Zayden?" one said weakly.

"Yes it's me, I'm here to get you out of here"

I reached up and unchained their wrists one by one, setting each one down carefully. There were four of us. When they were all unchained, I looked around for our stuff. They were all on the table. Clothes, wallets, and weapons. I smiled and went over to them, grabbing everything and handing them to my friends.

"you guy's good to walk?" i asked.

"yea," they said.

"good, get dressed and take your blades."

I grabbed my stuff and put it on. Then I picked up my jagged 9-inch blade. I smiled.

"let's get out of here," i demanded.

On cue they all got up, they stumbled, but they were able.

We took a few steps forward, but the metal door swung open.

"Get down!" I yelled

Gunshots filled the air as the party that chased me and the party that was guarding the house stormed in. We scrambled to find cover.

"fuck," I mumbled.

"how are we supposed to fight with just blades?" screamed one of my friends.

I reached to the back of me, pulling out the gun I borrowed from one of the guards. I pulled back the chamber, and anger filled me. I promised I was going to get them out of here. With haste I leaned to the side of me, looking for my first target. Once sighted I fired, and fired, one headshot, two headshots, and so on. Using material around me to take cover occasionally. With time  I killed all of them. 

Panting I tried to catch my breath.

"you guys, can uh come out now," I gasped.

One by one they came out of hiding.

"duuuuuuudeeeee," Said one.

"bro you got some mad fucking skills," said another.

I smiled, "yeah I know,"

They chuckled

"Alright let's officially get out of here," I demanded.......
