Her Brother's Assassin (COMING SOON)

Planet earth- Present 2020

~Valdez~

Adrenaline coursed through veins.

Every cell in his body screamed at him to stop.

His breath came out in short burst as sweat trickled down his neck and onto his already drenched shirt.

The light back pack over his shoulders bounced as he ran through the dense forest, as if his life depended on it.

Because it did.

The smell of wet earth grass was the only thing his nostrils registered.

Swifly jumping over a fallen tree log, Valdez kept running through the thick overgrown bushes.

His bleeding soles leaving traces of crimson red on the rock hard soil but he kept going.

The Skyga military forces must be trailing closely behind Valdez, although he had managed to shake them off his tail.

Fists clenched, he continued running.

Hastily pushing himself through the thick plants, Valdez winced as another thorn slashed his left cheek.

His arms already bore multiple open cuts from wild thorns making him prone to infections.

Breathing in short puffs, his lungs were on fire.

"SEARCH, NORTH UP" A man's voice echoed

Valdez's heart thundered again his chest.

They're close.

His knees slowly weakened as fear began over-riding his senses.

Escape was charged with death penalty.

Valdez tripped, stepping on a broken branch with a crack. The momentum he crashed with was so high, that his body rolled over the wet soil and hit a tree trunk.

"That way, North" a Skya force shouted

"Run Run Run, he's close" another voice said

"Yes i got this one" This one sounded so close.

Valdez got up slowly and scrambled behind the tree. he knew it.

He should've not escaped.

Footsteps came closer and closer until the Skygas stood infront of the tree Valdez was hiding.

"Here is the broken branch, he's close" the Skyga said scanning with his torch the dark forest.

Valdez shut his eyes.

Clenching his jaw and tried to control his having breath. He's done.
