Chapter 64 Breach

"Find them!" She yelled

She pointed to the trees where Avalon was and told them, "Go now, they are in the trees,"

"Yes, Maxine,"

Two of them run to the trees, while one is held back by her,

"Go tell the boss there here," Maxine said

He nods at her, quite frightened, and then runs through the gate, mumbling something under his breath. Maxine monitored them, searching the area where she saw her...

"He still looks out the window wounding about her, even trying to talk to her," Maxine thought

Maxine watched them move around the tree she pointed to, one of the men moved around the tree finding nothing only falling leaves, he looked back at her yelling out,

"They're not here!"

Maxine who Is watching them yells back at them, "I know they're here,"

"I saw her, I know she's here," Maxine thought

Maxine walks to them and thinks of the way they couldn't be there, she stops at the tree, presses her hand to the bark of it, and looks around,

"Do you see them?"

Maxine glanced at him,

"No, I saw them here," Maxine answered

He moves closer to her, peeking over her shoulder,

"I don't think you're lying or anything, but I don't think they're here," He said

Maxine glared at him, she ignored him and looked elsewhere, finding something that caught her off guard. A shining woman in the tree looking down at her, glaring at her. The woman jumped off the tree and landed in front of Maxine,

"You're his muse?" Maxine asked

Avalon looks up from at her,

"I wouldn't call me that," Avalon said

Avalon moves closer to her and looms over her,

Maxine smirks in front of her and asks,

"Where is your boy toy?"

Avalon looks at her perplexed,

"What do you mean by that?" Avalon asked

Maxine lets out a little chuckle at her and thinks out loud, "You can't be this pure,"

She leans on the tree.

"Maxine, there's someone in the tr..." He says

He looked up at the tree, Marcello jumped down knocking him out with the butt of his gun, he looked over at Avalon and Maxine and then aims his gun at Maxine.

"He was what I was talking about," Maxine said

She pointed in his direction,

"But now when I..." Maxine says

Marcello shot a bullet near her missing her ear by a hair, Maxine turned to him and rushed him pushing him onto the ground. Pins him.

"You missed," Maxine hissed

Marcello looks at her and smirks,

"No, I got them,"

Maxine looked back at Avalon, finding one of her men bleeding out and holding his wound, but didn't seem to find her there.

"You gross man, what..." Maxine said

Maxine pulls out a knife and reaches out to stab him, but a hand stops her from stabbing Marcello, Avalon lifts her off of him and turns Maxine to face her.

"Thanks," Marcello said

Avalon nods, not moving her gaze from Maxine who kicks her in the stomach and makes Avalon whine but does not let her go, only to lift her and give her a kick of her own. Maxine shouts in pain, glaring at her.

"You only have a few ribs broken," Avalon said

Avalon lets her go making her fall on the ground and holding her ribs, Maxine looks at the ground her vision blurs, and a bullet goes through Avalon's shoulder and one through her leg.

"Move!"

Shouts are heard. Marcello looked over at the man and then found more members running over to them. Marcello looks up at Avalon, she's holding her wounds cradling her shoulder, and covering her face.

"Don't move!" One of them yelled

She aims at Marcello and points to the surrounding others, they start to move around them. Maxine felt an arm grab her from the ground and pull her up,

"I got the reinforcements like you asked," He says

He pulls her into his chest, making her look away from him, watching the reinforcement around Avalon and Marcello. Marcello looked around him thinking, "I don't know how we are going to make it in time…"

Avalon starts to shake, and more blood starts to spill from her wound,

"Avalon?" Marcello whispered.

"Get on the ground now! "

Marcello got tackled to the ground, his hand forcefully behind his back, Marcello tried to look up at her only to have his head pushed into the dirt.

"We are to get information out of the man and the lady to the boss," Maxine said

Maxine looked at the men next to Avalon and nodded at them, he looked at Avalon marveling at the iridescent shine on her, and he grabbed her arm.

"Let me go,"

He felt a sharp pain in his hand, making him let go of her and hold it for him to see the scorch marks on his hand. Avalon looks around her and then darts her daze to Maxine, Avalon stands tall and pulls the bullet out of her shoulder.

"You have made a grave mistake," Avalon declared

Maxine backed away from the woman, Avalon dropped the bullet and crushed it with her foot.

"You should have taken me out first," Avalon said

Maxine shivered at the tone of her voice. Avalon raises her hand at the man holding Marcello and a crystal comes out of it like a bullet, hitting the man in the skull, killing him as impacted.

"Kill her!" Maxine yelled

The man holding Maxine moves away from the group, while Avalon watches them leave, three of them moving in front of her, blocking her site. Marcello pushes the dead body off of him, giving it a glimpse, then gets back up.

"Look lady, we can do this the..." He stopped

He tried to grab her only to have her move away, laying her hand on his face and burning him. One of the other men shot at her only to have his legs caved in by her cutting them with her dagger, he cradled his legs and cried out for them,

"Shoot at her!"

The third man watched the other crumble before him and then heard gunfire at him, Avalon moved away in time and moved towards the ones shooting at her, Marcello moved behind the tree he was hiding in watching Avalon tear down their group.

"What is she?"

He looked at the person who asked finding the hiding with him,

"I'm not sure," Marcello said

The man looked away from him to the onslaught. Looking at his fellow family not dead but squirming in pain, he looked over at the one she killed and a thought a cured to him.

"If I have the boy with me, she might not..."

Avalon picked him up by the back of his vest, he struggled in her grip, trying to get out of her grasp. Marcello walks up to her and asks,

"Are you ok?"

"I'm not doing very well," Avalon said

She looks at her leg, the blood clotted around the bullet seems odd,

"Well, what are we going to do to him?" Marcello asked

Marcello points to him and makes him squirm and begs for her to let him down. Avalon scoffed at him and said,

"You're in this kind of industry, knowing the circumstances of this so-called job can and will get you killed or lose a limb,"

She drops him off,

"Leave," Avalon said

He picked himself up and ran away from them, not bothering to hear his fellow member yell for help, Marcello walked up to her and bent down to take a look at her leg, he watched the surrounding skin push out the bullet of her body. He pulls it out and stands up to her, holding it for her to see it,

"You seem to have better healing than normal humans," Marcello said

Avalon grabs it and lets it drop to the ground,

"We need to get moving," Avalon said

Avalon turns away from him and starts walking in the direction where the man went,

Marcello walks with her and says,

"So that's why you let him go nice plan,"

"If he is what I believe he will do, he's running back to them like a snake," Avalon said

Marcello hummed and agreed with her,

"They're made up of those types of people, "

Avalon gives him a tired smile and stops her ability, Marcello starts to be concerned about her and tells her, "Are you ok I can look ahead if you want?"

"I just used a lot of energy. I will be fine," Avalon said

Marcello looks ahead and sees the man running to an abandoned building, He glances at Avalon and sees her stern gaze aimed at the building,

"Is the phone line working?" Avalon asked

Marcello looked at her and said, "I haven't checked since I first got here,"

He pressed the earpiece,

"Hello is there,"

The earpiece made an ear-splitting sound hurting his ears, he pulled it out and placed it into his pocket.

"We are on our own,"
