Chapter 32: Survive

Warriors closed in on us. I looked over at Zander and saw fearlessness. He was prepared to fight for his life, despite the injuries from Maurice. Blood was still running out of his wounds. I worried that he would lose too much blood if he fought too long.

Zander moved to stand back to back with me and said, “You ready to kick a lot of ass? We can take them.”

“Yeah I’m ready. Remember to stay close.”

“Don’t worry. I wouldn’t dream of getting away from you. I’ll stay by your side.”

My heart fluttered at his words. I wished he didn’t say things like that before a battle. I had so much more to say to him but couldn’t.

Warriors started charging towards us, brandishing wooden staffs and knives. It didn’t seem fair, but I was strong enough to fight weaponless.

A blonde girl swung her staff towards my face and almost hit me. I tried to swing my leg to kick her in the face.

She dodged my attack and whacked me with the staff hard in the stomach. I stumbled back but didn’t fall down.
