Chapter 18
She looked at me shakily and spoke.
She was whispering to herself that everything will be fine and she keeps rocking back and forth.
What is happening to her. She went from being happy to cowering into a corner.
Before I could ask her anything else, the double doors that covered the entrance opened and ten armored men came rushing in with daggers and swords attached to them.
They were all very quick in positioning theirselves outside the cells by twos.
All of them holds the same experssion, fear.
Just what is happening.
Whatever this is, the fact that I'm not nervous is because I was trained not to be.
A knock came from the front door of the Alphas office. The Alpha ordered the person to come in and say what they have to say.
The soldier who knocked quickly entered and kneeled respectively in front of the Alpha. The Alpha looked at him blankly, waiting for what he has to say.
Kneeling in front of the Alpha is common curtsy in their eyes. It is nothing but giving respect to those higher and more respectable than you. The soldier spoke in a hurry.
The Alpha sighed and shook his head. He called for one of his warrior leaders to prepare five thousand warriors within 30 minutes, if he does not, he will find a replacement for him.
The warrior leader did nothing but nodded his head and took his leave. The Alpha turned his head to the kneeling soldier and spoke with a baritone voice.
She's frustrating me but I gotta keep calm too. This is nothing new to me, perhaps a little bit different on what I've experienced but it's somewhat similar.
Despite having trembling eyes, she nodded in response to my question. I must take full control because she is still not sensible; otherwise, we would be trapped here.
I got up and observed my surroundings. There's a total of four guards in front of my cell. The other two is guarding the cell in front of me, and the other two is guarding mine.
I looked at their belt for keys. No one has one, what the hell.
I looked at the other guards and none of them has it. And as if in cue, one guard entered the prison and was holding a long spear with a very shiny tip.
The difference between his spear and the others is that he has a gold tip, while the remaining has silver attached to theirs.
He stood in front of the huge door, guarding it. I was looking at him absentmindedly, my eyes roamed him and stopped at his belt.
Bingo.
I weighed my options.
One, I headlock one guard guarding my cell to get his attention, once he gets close, too close, that's when I take the key.
It's a lot more than just words but whatever.
Two, I whistle continuously until I get his attention. Once he looks at me, I'll signal for him to come over.
Not that'll work but who knows.
And three, I'll just kill the two guards in front of me with my hidden knife so that I could get him closer.
Well, I can't kill them that fast because they're not ordinary people. For all I know, fantasies do exist.
And yes, the goal is to get him closer cause I'm not Luffy, I can't just stretch my hand whenever the fuck I want.
I sighed heavily and chose option three. I hate violence but I don't know them so I don't really care. My main concern is escaping and getting the hell out of this, well... pack.
Forgive me Marshmallow sir, but I guess I need to use this knife to save my own ass.
Marshal gave it to me in case of emergencies and when I need to do my duty.
I took a deep breath and looked around while slowly pulling out the pocket knife in my boot. I was cautious with my actions because one thing I know about this guys, is that they hate shiny things.
When I was close to pulling it out, the ground shook. The knife I was holding dropped in front of me at a landscape position and made a sound.
The guards in front of my cell turned around to find out what was the cause of the sound. Before they could see the knife, without thinking, I instantly hid it by doing somewhat a duck position in earthquake drills but my hand was sprawled out like I was praying.
Damn it, what's with the ground shaking? It's as if the universe wants me to get killed. I hope the blade isn't out. If it is, it won't fit within my hand since it was positioned on landscape.
I closed my eyes and exhaled.
Oh please, for pete's sake, fuck off already! I don't care what you think about me. This position is tiring and my butt is hanging at the top, come on!
As if God has answered my prayers, no more words came from the both of them. I sighed exhaustedly and fixed myself, still holding on to the knife.
I took a deep breath and stood up. Since I chose option three, I'll have to kill the both of them to grab the head guard's attention.
It's now or never, Katie.
With that I took action. First, I stabbed the man guard in his legs and then his neck. He groaned loudly and immediately covered his stab wounds.
The next thing I know, I stabbed the woman in the same place while holding her mouth. I don't want to hear her screams so instead, I dropped her to the ground to intentionally make a noise.
It was easier than I thought but my plan worked. The head guard was walking towards us. When he saw the bodies, he immediately looked over them and then me.
I chuckled, "Come closer, I have something to say."
The guard gulped and strolled towards me. He was careful and cautious but yet he still continues to walk towards me.
Fool.
When he was close, I took that as my chance to grab his neck and twist it with force. He dropped dead and the key that was dangling from his belt, fell inside my cell.
After all that hard work, nice.
I opened my gate and went over to Tammy. I took down basically half the guards in this prison, some didn't even pay attention to me. Just what I needed. I opened her cell. I took her arm and pulled her out of there and out of prison.
We were running when we heard the clashes of swords and spears. A spear was coming our way but I ducked just in time.
I looked over where it came from and people were fighting each other. With spears, swords and...
Claws.
I pulled Tammy through the crowd. We need to get out as soon as possible without people noticing us as prisoners or an enemy.
We hid behind the big cabinet, then rolled over towards the table that was flipped sidewards. And then used the shield as cover while tiptoeing towards the exit.
So basically, I just dragged Tammy within that whole process, yeah.
I opened the door and we got out.
It was more gruesome outside. And more...wolves.
It was a bloodbath, everything is red and bodies were scattered on the floor. Some had their heads cut off and some where shot by arrows and slashed by swords.
There's two sides brawling it out. One side holds spears and swords, the other side holds the same however it seems that the wolves are on their side.
Do they not use guns?
They were fighting, and it was a fight to the death.
And it seems like this pack losing.
