Chapter 6

Relieved that the green haired Warlord decided to leave her alone this time, Satsuki decides to take advantage of her good luck. Crawling around on hands and knees, she decides to find herself a weapon.

There must be a good-sized rock here somewhere. I won't let him catch me off guard again.

Running her hands over the ground, she quickly comes upon a large rock. Able to pick up the rock, Satsuki practices a couple of swings with it.

Not the best weapon I've ever used, but it might make him think twice before he touches me again.

Keeping the weapon near at hand, Satsuki sits down with her back against what is left of a stone pillar.

…………………….

Opening her eyes slowly, Satsuki realizes that it is the sound of walking that has drawn her awake. Worried that she may have lost her chance to fight back since she fell asleep, Satsuki waits and watches the Venom Warlord enter the cavern chamber.

Stopping just inside, Sekhmet takes a moment to look at his prisoner, while at the same time Satsuki does the same.

Good. He's finally taken off that damn armor. I might have a fighting chance now.

“You're not going to fight back?” asks Sekhmet, as he moves further into the room.

Saying nothing, Satsuki waits for her chance to strike.

“I've broken you already,” sneers Sekhmet, stopping just out of reach.

Reaching a hand down to her arm, Sekhmet is about to jerk her standing when he feels a crushing blow to the back of his head. Falling to his knees from the sudden and unexpected attack, he isn't able to raise a hand in time to stop a second blow.

Jumping to her feet, Satsuki drops the rock and rushes out of the cave. Though there isn't much light to see with, her eyes have grown accustom to what little light that there is. Running almost blind, Satsuki feels a powerful need to be as far from the fallen Warlord as she can get.

Seconds turn to minutes as Satsuki continues to rush through the caverns toward what she hopes is out. Stopping to catch her breath, she listens in the direction from which she has fled. Hearing nothing, she hopes that her luck will continue to work.

Taking one more calming breath, Satsuki continues her dash toward freedom.

“BITCH!”

Realizing that her luck is running out, Satsuki glances once behind her to see how close the Warlord is. Able to see too far into the darkness, Satsuki hopes she has enough of a lead.

“WHORE!”

Jerking another glance over her shoulder, Satsuki begins to sweat from more than just running.

He sounds closer. Please God! Don't let him find me.

Finally, after what seems like hours, Satsuki begins to feel a cool, fresh breeze blow across her hot cheeks. Hope rises slowly in her chest as she realizes that she is close to her freedom from the cavern of terror.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Oh, I am so mean! I guess you'll just have to wait until the next chapter to find out if Satsuki gets out of the cave.
