Outnumbered

             After the little spar with Margaret, Savarus was currently escorting Bethany back home, there was a complete silence between them, untill Bethany asked a question.

"What are you?".

Savarus was shock when he heard this kind of question from her.

"I don't understand, please elaborate on it, what do you mean".

"What are you?" she asked again without changing any word from it.

"What am I, I'm a human of course, what else would I be".

"You definitely know that's not what I meant but if you don't want to expose your secret, stop doing things that can't be achieve by human".

"What do you mean?".

"You definitely know no human can move that fast, don't you?".

"With continues training, I'm sure it is possible".

"Whatever you say, thanks for defending us" Bethany said while lowering her tone on the last part.

"What did you say, please come over again I didn't hear you well on that last part".

"I said thank you for defending us even when you know I'm the one at fault".

"Don't think about it, it's not much of a big deal, but you're welcome anyway" said Savarus.

After some few movement of walking, Savarus could clearly feel they were being followed.

'Why is it so hard for someone to live peacefully, today is really one of those awful days, from one fight to another'.

"Savarus I think we are being followed, I can clearly feel it from every corner".

"Don't worry, I already know about that, don't panic and just leave everything to me, one more thing I didn't know you remember my name".

"Me neither, it just came out".

"Let's keep on walking, we are going to pass the trees pathway, so that we can confront them there, here is too crowded".

"Aren't we supposed to find a way to run and not be the one to start it" asked Bethany.

"Well I'm not someone who likes to start a fight neither like running from it, they asked for it so I'm just granting it".

They continue walking like if they haven't noticed that they were being followed, after some minutes of walking they have finally gotten to a perfect place for a fight without being disturb, a forest with tall trees.

"You guys can show yourself, I don't see the need to keep on hiding, it's just the two of us, so don't be afraid" said Savarus.

"I can see that you are very brave, even when you know you are being followed, you didn't decide to run away but fight".

"Savarus I think they are much more than we anticipated, how are we ever going to get out of here" said Bethany.

"I know you are afraid, but I want you to trust me, just stay where you are, don't move from your spot even if someone is coming at your direction because if you are five feet away from me, it would be hard to protect you, just trust me and leave it to me".

 Although Bethany knows very well that Savarus was strong, she still couldn't trust his word completely when looking at the numbers of people before them.

'How will you be able to fight this many people and still be able to protect me after all those fight you have been through, I should better make a plan B'

"It's not like I'm trying to say I don't trust your words, but I won't put my life completely on your hands, so give me a sword so I can protect myself and also be able to fight" said Bethany.

"I know very well that you can fight and I didn't tell you not to do so, but what I want from you is to stay five feet close to me and nothing less, don't attack just defend" Savarus said while giving her his sword because she didn't carry anyone with her.

"I didn't say you should give me yours, when you have knock one down you can give his sword to me, what are you going to fight with if you give me yours now".

"Don't worry just take it, I have my ways of doing things".

"Are you guys going to stand and let them talk all day or you are going to attack them" said the mask man who was in front.

"You guys pick the wrong person, I might be the last person most of you will see before dieing" said Savarus.

This time around Savarus didn't rush in to attack, he just stood there waiting for the first person to attack, the moment one gets in close range and was about to attack, Savarus kick his leg causing him to lose balance and throwing a fist to his chest making him unconscious. Savarus didn't waste anytime in taking the sword from him and immediately strike the second that was about to attack him and taking his sword from his hand also.

"This would be so very interesting" said Savarus while swinging both sword like it was nothing, he didn't go forward but was just striking anyone that comes close to him and Bethany, this continues to happen with more men diving in thinking they could make a difference but to no avail.

"Bring the archers" said the leader of the group.

"Yes sir" said one of them closer to the leader before going to bring them.

It didn't take much time before the archer quickly started positioning themselves on where they have to be.

 "Kill them both I don't care about the girl anymore, they have kill too many of our people".

"Yes sir, but our people are still out there, if we fire now, we might kill our fellow people".

"Consider it as a little sacrifice for the greater good".

"Yes, my lord" said all the archers at once while getting ready to fire, they quickly released their arrows all at once from the bow. Savarus who have already see the arrows coming at their direction, hurriedly rush to protect Bethany.
