The Dissent

"You're a damn good fighter," He says in my ear. "We can use someone like you."
I feel his breath in my hair. It tickles my ear. I thrust my elbow back into his ribs. His arms disappear from around me. I put about three metres of distance between us and hold out my knife in defence.
"We?" I repeat. "There are more of you?"
He smiles. "Hundreds."
