Chapter Five: Emi Vs. Kenny

(Emi's POV)

    I barely dodged Kenny's blade, taking a few steps back as I threw my leg up and connected my foot to his jaw. Kenny flew back into the wall as I ran towards him with the broken wine bottle. He moved his head a few inches to the left, just missing the sharp glass as he used his right hand to punch me in my already dislocated jaw. I winced in pain and fell to the ground as he smirked and pulled his leg back, kicking me straight in my ribs.

     "You need to learn how to stay down, you dumb bitch." Kenny hissed as I used my left hand and rammed the broken wine bottle into his thigh. He screamed in pain as I struggled to pull myself up from the ground. I took a deep breath, doing everything I could to ignore the pain. Kenny pulled the broken bottle out of his thigh, dark red blood began pouring out of the wound.

   I spat out some of the blood that was pooping inside of my mouth. Kenny lunged towards me again,  the sharp blade of the knife just missing my face as I dodged and hit him with a left hook, causing him to stumble back again. My heart raced so fast, I felt like it could explode at any moment. Before I could react Kenny plunged the blade deep into my stomach.

     My eyes widened as I looked down, seeing the blood begin to leak from the wound. He shoved me to the ground as I yelped in pain. Kenny climbed on top of me and began punching me multiple times in the face. I struggled under his weight as tears poured out of my eyes. Everything in my body was screaming, the pain making it difficult to focus as he held my wrists down against the hard wooden floor.

    "You're not as strong as you think you are little girl." His menacing voice sent fear throughout my body as I glared at him, still struggling under his weight. He grabbed the knife that was lodged in my abdomen and pushed on it, causing a blood curdling scream to escape my lips. Suddenly what looked like a large black and red fox jumped onto Kenny, plunging it's huge fangs into his neck. Kenny screamed in agony as the fox drug him off of me.

    "EMI!" Levi yelled as I began coughing up blood. "B-Baby, n-no please...stay with me Emi! P-please don't leave me!" Tears streamed down Levi's face as he did the best he could to control the bleeding coming from my abdomen. "RIN WE NEED TO GET HER HELP NOW!" Levi screamed, his deep voice cracking as the large fox threw Kenny's dead, mangled body across the room.

      "We must get her to the goddess, she can heal her. I can take her through the tree." The fox's voice was soft, yet harsh as Levi slowly put his arm under my neck and legs as he carefully picked me up, my vision fading in and out as the pain began to slowly consume me.

    "P-please Emi, don't leave me..." Levi muttered as the fox grew four sizes in-front of our eyes. "L-Levi.." I tried to talk, my jaw burned in agony as Levi shook his head and softly rubbed my head."Shh, Don't try to talk my love, just worry about keeping your eyes open. I love you Emi, so god damn much." He stated as he sniffled. He carefully climbed on top of the fox's back, making sure not to hurt me as he held onto me tightly. "We're ready Rin, now hurry!" Levi demanded as the fox nodded and began to run, breaking through the shabby wooden wall in an instant.

    My eyes began to feel heavy as I was struggling to keep them open. "Keep y-your eyes o-open Emi! Please!" He cried as he kissed the top of my forehead, a few of his moist tears falling onto my skin. I did the best I could to keep my eyes open but, after a while it became impossible as darkness consumed me in an instant.
