Chapter 5:

We all sat down on the dusty and partially bloody floor of the cave, the blood was my fault but at least it being dusty wasn’t. But soon came what they were here for.

“So what did you want to talk about so much that sent you out to find me.” I asked them pretty bluntly, not really thinking about it. The girl Nina cleared her throat, “We are here to invite you to the Power Bearer Resistance.”

At first I couldn’t tell if it was some kind of joke or something, “Are you kidding me? Even if I believed you that you aren’t gonna kill me, how can your Resistance stand against the entire Government?” As I said that, Mari was already reaching for her dagger, but Nina put her arm in front of her.

“You do have a point there I guess, but if you join us we will at least be there to help and protect you if need be.”

“If I have this straight, you say you can protect me with numbers? What makes you think that will help, aren’t I better off just staying on my own.” Mari jumps at me from her sitting position and places her dagger to my neck once again.

“We are trying to offer you a deal here, don’t be a smart ass. You have no idea how much a risk me and Nina are taking just by coming here.” She seemed to be actually pissed. Then Nina placed her hand on her shoulder and shook her head.

Mari got off me and Nina continued, “What you are saying is completely right, but I still say it. We welcome you.” she took out an old phone and handed it to me, “On there is a secret number you can call, if you ever do change your mind.”

Personally even now I don’t know why she went about it all so nicely. I was being such a hard ass and she still kept up her smile and calm demeanor.

“Why are we going through so much of a hassle to recruit this guy.” She stood up and headed to the exit of cave, Nina followed in suit, “The boss said so.” But as they were about to leave I heard some rustling of leaves, it couldn’t be from their steps.

And then in a moment I heard, “OPEN FIRE!” I rushed and pushed them both down onto the ground, then moved deeper into the cave.

“Crap they found us, what do we do now.” Mari took the already weak Nina to herself, slowly I calmed my breathing. “Listen to me and listen well. When I yell out go, start running directly out of the cave. Okay?” She seemed to be sceptical of what I was saying, “Can I trust you?” I nodded in response, “You have to.”

She smiled then stood up with Nina still in her hands, “I’m ready.” I teleported my knife into my hand and then took one of Mari’s daggers, “I’ll be borrowing this for a bit.”

I gripped the knife and dagger tightly, many thoughts passed my mind, they all shared one thing. The fact that if I go through this what I was about to do, would make me a killer. Then I looked at Mari who was willing to trust him just to save herself and Nina.

Finally I calmed my mind and thought, ‘If I don’t take them out, they will kill us.’ Instantly I teleported next to one of the soldiers.

He was surprised to see me appear next to him, then I stabbed into his heart. He dropped dead like no other. Then I kept moving between the soldiers, killing more and more. Then I finally opened up a path for them.

“GO!!!” I yelled out, and Mari dashed with her super human speed. Making it out of my sights before I could even tell. Then I smiled, pointing the dagger at the soldiers.

“You guys are fucked now.”

I moved between them all, ripping through all of them one by one.

On that day I had killed over 80 armed soldiers in cold blood, making me a killer as well as gaining the order of kill on sight. My name plastered all across the news, calling me a threat and a demon.
