Hannah's Suspicions

Silence hung heavy between them, each holding their breath after making their decision. Hide Ben. Lie. Risk everything.

And then—

FWISH!

A sharp whistle cut through the air.

Kaiser, always the fastest, reflexively reached out toward Hugo's face.

The arrow pierced his palm with a sharp thud, cold metal embedded in his flesh.

"FUCK—"

A second arrow grazed Sabrina's temple, slamming into the tree behind them.

"TAKE COVER!" Yuki roared, throwing himself against a concrete pillar.

The others scattered in the chaos. Kaiser clenched his bloodied fist, Sabrina dragged Ben by the collar, Hugo dove behind a tree.

FWISH! FWISH!

Two more arrows lodged into the tree bark.

"Who the hell are these assholes?!" Kaiser spat, yanking the arrow from his hand with a groan. Blood splattered his jeans.

Yuki's hand dipped into his waistband, fingers gripping the last blades he had left.
