The wind was wild and intense, the rain pouring down on cats and dogs. It was late at night and everyone seemed to have gone to bed... enjoying the relish of the weather.
Admist this weather riots, in the woods..were a group of men...all scattered round the woods looking for something.
Whatever it was they were looking for, was important...the dogs they held with them also sniffed around for any possible scent.
"Come out now young lady, enough of your hide and seek games. Let's take you to where you belong" a man who seemed like the leader said.
"Find her and bring her to me! Alive!" He shouted urging both man and Dog.
Admist this search madness, was a dirty looking teenager. She had brown short hair covered in sticks and figs.
Her whole body was covered in cuts and blood. To crown it all, she was naked.
She seemed to be the bone of contention as she hid on top of a huge tree. Watching the men looking for her.
Then, a dog seemed to catch her scent...it looked up then saw her.
"Shhhh" she signalled to the dog to be quiet but the dog wasn't sired it her. It started barking frantically.....
Angrily, stretched her hand and like magnet, a short stick went to meet her waiting hands. She threw it at the dog, before the stick could get to the dog, it turned into a knife .. killing the dog immediately. "I told you to be quiet" she muttered.
The men got to where the dog was...
"Shit! Shit! She was here...." The men all scattered round again hoping she wouldn't have gone far.
The one who seemed like the leader got to the dead dog... Seeing the blood flow.
He touched the blood...then slowly he looked up.
"Voila!....look who we finanlly found" he said smiling wickedly at the girl who seemed like she was ready to fly at him.
He blew his whistle signalling the other men, and in no time, she was surrounded by 12 armed men.
"Come down now....the game is over" he said.
The girl shook her head....."I'm not going anywhere with you" she said fuming in anger.
"Don't be stubborn now girl...it's pointless" the leader said.
"I said... I'm not going anywhere" she shouted back at him.
"Come down now...it's not a request but an order" The leader said with a serious face.
" ..and If I disobey that order?" The girl asked without fear.
The leader scoffed.." you know the rules...you know what will happen if you break any of them. You have broken three rules now girl..."
"Fine! I don't mind breaking all of them!" She said and jumped down with a very powerful thud startling the other men.
"Who's dying first?" She asked looking round
One of the men, went at her with a stick but before he could get to where she was stretched her hand towards him making him halt in his steps...then with her hand movement, she threw him to a tree 10 feets away. His head scattered immediately.
"Who's next?" She said....as she bent ready to jump at anyone.
Another man went at her but before he could get to her, she picked up a stick from the ground and threw it at the man.... before it could get to him, it turned to knife and went right to his forehead killing him immediately.
"All of you! Get her!" The leader shouted and all of them went at her but then thunder stroke stopping them in their tracks. In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared.
The leader didn't seem surprised at this....
"Pack the bodies....let's get out of here" he said turned round and left..............
