Chapter 5

Sar kept looking at the worn stairs to his right. He could hear the sounds of footsteps coming down his right. He tried to forget about his aching head and focus on what lay ahead. He know that what he said would determine whether he would live or die.

...

What should be done must be done , thought Kira, remembering her late father's words. Just thinking about him made her heart ache. Thinking about her parents last moments she steeled herself. She had to remain strong for herself, Kin, the rebellion and her late parents. She slipped a very sharp dagger into her thigh sheath. It was her most precious thing. The dagger which her father had forged for her on her birthday. With the same dagger she intended to take revenge. And for the revenge she intended to destroy anyone who crossed her path.

"Hey Kira, I heard you called for me",a very soft voice calls for her. Shaking herself out of her thoughts she turned towards the voice. Val had her kit with her. Kira smiled at her best friend.Val was very beautiful. With long blonde hair, very fair skin and blue eyes she looked like an angel. "Are you going to the prisoner alone? I know you are good but why don't you take someone else with you too. The prisoner might be dangerous." Val said.

"Don't worry, I have called Joey to accompany us" , Kira replied. Val blushed prettily. She always had a crush on Joey which Kira knew very well. On hearing a second day of footsteps, Kira said, "He is here." Joey came and greeted them. He was intimidating as always. He was the best killer the rebellion had. His body was well built and he was a large person. Kira never knew why a person as gentle and calm as Val fell for a person as Joey. Well love is crazy, she thought. It makes you stupid. She never fell in love with anyone and she never intended to. For her the rebellion came before her life and that includes her personal affairs. She was eighteen, the time when all maidens married. But she never wanted to. She had a greater responsibility, her rebellion.

Kira gave both of them masks and wore one for herself. The three of them made their way downstairs.

...

Sar saw three people walking towards him. All were masked and dressed in similar clothes. One of them was definitely a man. He was huge and could easily defeat Sar if it came to that. But Sar was the most afraid of the middle person. He knew it was woman, more precisely the Kira he heard about. He knew that she was the most dangerous out of them all. The talk man came forward and opened the door of the cage. Then three of them tensed for a fight. Maybe they expected him to run out. Several minutes passed, when nothing happened they were relaxed a bit and Kira gave a signal. All three of them entered the cage like three angels...

...Angels of death.
