《Promise》Chapter 4: I will be right behind you
Advertisement
In the dim moonlight of the night, two people with blonde hair were running into the pitch black of the thick forest, it was Allan and Maria. Running and gasping for air, tears started to run down their faces. Their companion, Luna, was left behind to the mercy of the armed men chasing them. “ Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, why didn’t i come back for her, i wanted to but my body did not obey my head, it instinctivly move on it own.” Allan was screaming inside his own head.
When they saw what happened to Luna, all Allan was able to do at that moment was to take Maria’s hand and start running away, not looking back once.
“ There was nothing that we could have done to help, if we went back it would just be suicide” Allan tried to reason with himself.
“ I am sorry Luna” Maria cried, she stood there like a statue, and if not for Allan's hand, she did not know she would have moved at all.
They were right though, what could a medical student and a PHD undergraduate could have done against 12 armed men rushing at them.
Luna was shocked and again speechless at the scene, there he was, Kyle with a knife on his right hand and blood dripping down his left and the bodies of the two men from before was laying on the ground. “Did he just kill them ? How ?, why?” questions running inside of Luna’s head but it all went to a stop when she heard:
“ Are you alright ? Can you still run?” Kyle asked with a cold voice, his eyes were still focusing on the enemies that were coming and did not once look at Luna.
“ Y.YY. Yes” Luna answered in a shivering voice. “ Then keep running and don’t look back no matter what” Kyle said or was it like a command to her in his voice. She stood up and ran as fast as she could, the sound of weapons clashing and screaming howled behind her, moments later she heard Kyle yell: “Duck !”

Luna turned her head and saw something flying toward her, reflecting the moon light in the night sky. It was an arrow, her heart skipped a beat and her body could not move fast enough so get away and then her eyesight darken and she fell to the ground again.
She could hardly breathe, there was this feeling of pain on her chest and she felt as if something heavy was laying on top of her. When she opened her eyes she saw Kyle again but this time he was not standing but rather laying on her with an arrow through his right shoulder area with blood pouring out of the wound. Kyle, opened his eyes, the pain rush through his body but rather than screaming from the pain he was trying to get back up and this time with his face facing Luna he said: “I told you not to look back” his voice lost its usual cold and strong tone this time it was rather weak and you could say more pleasing to the ear. “ It's gonna be okay” looking into Luna's red ruby eyes he continues to say “ Just keep running and don’t worry about anything else I will be right behind you.”
With that Luna once again back on her feet running away with the sound of violence echoing behind her getting further and further away as she ran.
Allan and Maria had to stop. They were both out of breath and their legs had given up on them, after walking for a full day they were already low on energy and now this. Everything was quiet, the only sound they could hear was their heavy breathing. They had given everything they got, they could not run any further and there was no sound to be heard, the coast was clear. Unfortunately for them, they spotted some light flickering right behind them, it was the light coming from the reflection of the moon’s light from the swords of two men walking right at them. They were both scared and hopeless, tears filling their eyes and Maria started to scream: “ Please don’t hurt us, please I beg you!”. The two men just laughed at them and kept on walking toward them with swords in hand. But before they could take a swing at them a man rushed in with a rock in his hand hitting one of the men on the head, it was Liam. Then he continued to tackle the other guy to the ground, his sword was lost when he fell down, however, he got the better of Liam and wrestled him back, putting Liam into a front headlock position.

Allan and Maria watched as Liam was fighting for his life in front of them and again like before their body froze in fear. Next to them was the body of the dead man whose head was bashed by a rock, they both had never seen a dead body before not to mention a murder right in front of their face. They were both left terrified and their faces both turned as white as a corpse.
Liam was in a bad situation, but he did not panic. Using all the strength he had left, he took back control over his neck area to open his breathing a little before set into a crawling position before using both hands to grab to one of the man’s wrist and elbow to counter attack and it worked, this time is Liam doing a choke hold and he did not let go, after a few minutes the man stopped moving and it was over.
