Chapter 79: The Second Battle of Harrizel Part 2

Tetlak's talons grip his shoulder's wound, his chest heaving as he looks at me with ominous eyes. He goes to stand but fumbles again as I keep the weapon pointed at him. It doesn't seem to faze him. As if the only thing that matters is me now. Killing me. Tetlak staggers back up as I pull the trigger two more times, missing him once, but hitting his thigh. Another tiny explosion and he falls again, howling with heaving grunts and grabbing for his Chaisle.

I glance to Reid who watches in horror as Tetlak shoots. It whizzes past me and I know I need to run. To lead him away. To the somewhere else I need to be right now. A sting of fear as Tetlak launches himself forward but I turn and run, flying deeper into the jungle. I've left Reid alone but Tetlak's after me now - he won't go back to finish him off. If anything, Tetlak will chase me until I'm dead. Which may be soon.
