Chapter 20:
Nine months later: With Kitra and Darius:
After nearly a year of planning, Darius was ready to make their escape. Kou and Kio had really gotten greedy over land lately and several of their enemies were planning an all out war. Darius had gotten wind of it on his last patrol and he’d only told Jumal about it. Jumal had immediately taken Lissa to his aunt’s and explained he’d pick her up after duty tonight.
Darius had managed to convince Kou to allow him to take Kitra camping, on the condition that Kou and his two body guards accompanied them. Kitra had reluctantly agreed, wanting this last outing with her brother for old time’s sake.
They were currently walking to their outing to the right of the village, when the village bells were rang, signaling an attack. Seizing the opportunity, Darius grabbed Kitra and they made a run for it.
Jumal was out on the front lines and ready to pull his disappearing act, only to come face to face with an angry hoard of demons. The next second everything erupted into chaos. The villagers began fleeing from their houses and screaming in terror as the few guards took up arms and tried to battle the enraged demons.
Kitra screamed as she saw Jumal go down, and Darius whisked her away grabbing her hand and running into the woods as fast as they could. Cursing Kou and his guards gave chase.
With Kitra and Darius:
Kitra’s heart was pounding violently in her chest as she clutched her brother’s hand. She’d seen one of her closest friend’s fall before everything went to hell. Now she and her only surviving family were on the run from a hoard of demons, and her own personal demon, which was hot on their heels and cussing up a storm.
Adrenaline giving her a boost she poured on the speed to match her brother’s and they began to pull ahead of their pursuers. Darius began dodging through the trees and zigzagging everywhere in an attempt to shake them off.
Tears burned in Kitra’s eyes blurring her vision, but she ruthlessly fought them back and clutched onto her brother’s hand. She knew this was the only chance they were going to get to free themselves from a horrible fate, one that in her estimate was far worse than death itself.
She ignored the braches tearing into their clothes and skin, grateful for once that she’d discovered she has minor healing capabilities, without medicines. As soon as they stopped to rest, she’d fix their wounds, until then she only thought of surviving so she and her beloved older brother could live free lives together. As long as she had Darius, she could make it through anything, she knew that.
Darius began panting almost as hard as she was, but he continued running and clutching her hand. If they stopped now, Kou and his guards would catch up, and right now, he needed to get Kitra somewhere safe; so he could make their final stand and kill their pursuers.
Kitra’s legs burned from the unusual strenuous use of her muscles and she silently wished they could stop, but she knew they couldn’t- not yet at least. They continued running for another hour before she was unable to continue and finally panted, “Darius, need a… break.” looking as if she was just about ready to drop.
Darius scowled and nodded figuring they’d rest just a few minutes and keep going, he pulled her behind some bushes and hid them, silently allowing her a much needed break.
He could see the stark fear in her eyes as he watched her panting to regain her breath. He wanted to reassure her everything would be okay, but feared giving away their position. As soon as her breathing returned to normal, he grabbed her hand and they took off running again.
Kitra bit her lip to keep from whining about the pain she was in and was determined to keep up with Darius and not slow him down. Nothing was ripping, but her muscles sure did burn. She shoved the pain aside and focused on keeping her hand in her brother’s stronger one and staying by his side.
They tore through the trees and brush using them to their advantage as much as possible. Kitra tried in vain to keep her hair confined to her free hand, so as not to give away their position, whishing she’d brought something to cover her head with. Darius was torn between having her jump on his back so they could move faster, or conserving the bulk of his strength for the battle to come.
He quickly settled on the last one and prayed they would find a safe enough spot that she could hide, and he could do battle. He was determined this time to kill all three of them. Since his last warning, Tao, and Nenji had left her pretty much alone. But his pride still screamed for him to avenge the wrongs done both to his sister, and his best friend.
Kou’s obsession with his sister had turned deadly. He knew if Kou got the chance he’d rape her here and now. Clenching his jaw, Darius vowed to himself he’d die before letting that happen and poured on a little more speed and tried to find somewhere for them to make their stand.
Kitra’s teeth clamped the inside of her cheek as she tried with everything she had in her; to keep up with her brother’s increased pace. Her legs were protesting very loud, now so was here back. She ruthlessly stomped down the pain, locking it into the furthest recesses of her mind, and continued running by his side.
Her bow and arrows had been destroyed back at the village, so she had no weapons of her own. She hated putting her precious brother in this kind of position again, but she was going to have to rely on him to fight alone if they caught up to them.
With Kou and his lackeys:
Kou and his men fought their own protesting muscles and continued running after the wayward siblings.
Kou was furious that they’d try and take off now of all times. No way in hell was he letting her escape him now, Not three short months before he would finally claim her in every sense of the word- Kitra was his, damnit! He ordered for Tao and Nenji to follow after them and not let them escape. He wanted Kitra by damned and he was going to get her! He was too close to let her slip away now.
He inwardly seethed at Darius’s duplicity at vowed to kill the bastard himself. How dare he pretend to obey his orders, just to run off at the last minute? Kou didn’t care anymore if Kitra hated him for the rest of her life, she was his and he was going to keep her, no matter the cost! If he ended up having to kill her precious brother to do so, then so be it. He was sick of waiting to make her his
In the back of his mind, he wondered about his village, but shoved that aside as he focused single mindedly on getting his wayward fiancée back. The little temptress was currently being led by her damned pain in the neck brother.
Heart pounding in his chest, he focused his mind on the chase and vowed to take her before the night was over, willing or not. Pouring on the speed, he continued to chase after them, with his two trustworthy guards at his side.
Tao wasn’t one bit surprised they’d pulled a stunt like this. Lissa had mentioned Kitra wasn’t overly fond of Kou- hell even Tao could see the girl didn’t like him. He just hoped this didn’t end up leading to another fight with Darius. After all he had his wife and son to think of now, thank goodness she’d gone to visit his mother in another town and taken their boy with her before the demons showed up.
Nenji was furious about having been sent after his best friend’s wayward fiancée. He didn’t understand why Kou was so completely obsessed with Kitra. Yeah she was pretty and had guts, but she was too damn headstrong as well. Snorting he continued chasing down the red haired siblings, fearing the inevitable battle to come with Darius.
With Darius and Kitra:
Darius and Kitra had continued running for several more hours. Finally at the end of her limits, Kitra stumbled nearly falling to the ground. Looking back Darius realized she’d reached her limits and couldn’t continue without a break. Reluctantly he led her to a place where they could rest and hopped their pursuers were far enough behind to afford her this break.
The duo were standing on their feet talking while waiting for their bodies to calm down. Darius was wearing dark blue hakamas and a forest green haori. His wavy reddish brown hair was in a ponytail half-way down his back and his piercing green eyes looked at his sister.
Kitra was wearing a pale green mini kimono. Her wavy, fiery red hair was in a pony tail in half-way down her back much like her brother's and she had hazel eyes. She’d taken a minute to pull her hair tie out and change the sloppy braid, to a ponytail, hoping that it’d keep her hair from loosening from the tie again.
"Kitra honey, you have to trust me and do what I say no matter what, alright?" Darius said, staring at her.
She looked at her brother and agreed. "Okay, Darius." still trying to catch her breath.
"Honey, you’re my only sister and I won't let that bastard harm you while there is breath left in my body," Darius declared fiercely, virid eyes dead serious.
Kitra stated seriously, "I just don't want to lose you too, Dar! We’ve already lost everything else, our home, even our village. I can't bear to lose you too. I love you, Dar!"
Darius chuckled, hugged her, and then kissed the top of her head. She kissed his cheek and hugged him back. He smiled assuring her, "I love you too, Kit! Now relax, I’m not going anywhere. Let’s keep moving, alright?"
Kitra nodded and they set out again. He led her by the hand and they walked deeper into the forest. They came upon a clearing that seemed to be unoccupied. A small handful of large trees surrounded the clearing; nowhere to escape easily. By the large and wide river were a large rock and several more trees.
Suddenly three men showed up from out of nowhere and began to circle them, one on each side and one in front. Kou had his shoulder length straight black hair in a top-knot ponytail. He wore purplish grey hakamas, and a silky dark red haori. He had dark brown eyes.
Nenji had his brown hair in a bob tail. he had brown eyes and wore maroon hakamas and a light purple haori.
Tao looked much like Nenji, only a couple years younger and was wearing dark purple hakamas and a lighter purple haori.
"Fuck," Darius yelled as assumed a fighting stance and pushed Kitra protectively behind him.
Kou drawled, "Give it up already, It’s useless to try to flee from me," glaring at his soon to be wife and her brother.
A/N Okay guys and gals, that’s the end. I hate leaving off on cliffhangers, but this is done as three parts and this takes us to where the next one begins.
