Chapter 7

What had at first started only as a small breeze against her cheeks was slowly becoming a strong whip of wind that ruffled her hair. Satsuki could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Knowing that soon she'd be able to end the nightmare that Sekhmet had placed her in, Satsuki took one more look behind her.

No sign of him. Maybe he thought I went further into the cave?

Not finding that she cares either way, providing he doesn't find her, Satsuki puts one last burst of speed into her step and finds herself outside in the light and fresh air.

Stopping for a moment, Satsuki looks around to see where she is.

There's nothing out here. Just a bunch of trees! How am I going to get away?

Deciding to worry more about moving, Satsuki begins to run again. She has only taken a few steps before she is tackled from behind. Struggling against her attacker, she finds herself flipped onto her back and staring up into the face of a very pissed off Warlord of Venom.

“Bitch!” screams Sekhmet, raising a dagger above his head.

Plunging the dagger down, Sekhmet drives the blade into Satsuki's shoulder, pinning her to the ground.

Crying out in pain, Satsuki tries to bump Sekhmet off of her.

“I've been too nice,” rants Sekhmet, as he twists the blade.

Screaming in agony from the knife as it twists inside her flesh, tears fall from her eyes.

“I won't wait for the heroes,” continues Sekhmet, as he twists the blade some more.

Raising her free hand, Satsuki tries to scratch Sekhmet's face. Using his other hand, he backhands Satsuki across the face. Lowering his face to her ear, he drives the blade further into her body.

“The blade in your shoulder is poisoned, just like all my blades are,” whispers Sekhmet, before raising his face. “Die like the whore you are.”

“Are we there yet?” demands Kento, from the backseat.

“Almost,” says Mia, watching the Warrior of Strength in her rearview mirror before focusing her attention back on the road and the car that is in front of her.

Only a few weeks earlier, Sage had bought himself a new vehicle. It was a jeep, much like her own. Luckily, he had had the vehicle at her house, otherwise she would have never been able to get everyone to the caves in her car alone.

Cye, Rowen, and Cale had decided to ride with Sage, while Ryo and Kento rode with Mia. Secretly, she thought Sage got the better deal on traveling companions.

Hearing Kento shift in the backseat again, Mia glanced in the mirror to see what he was doing. Finding that he was only antsy, Mia got her eyes back on the road.

“Ryo?” she asks, peeking over at the young man she secretly finds attractive.

“Yeah?” says Ryo, glancing at her from the front passenger seat.

“Do you think it's the right place?” asks Mia, doubtful for the first time since they left her house.

“If it's not, I don't know where else to look,” says Ryo, shaking his head. “I hope for Sage's and Cale's sake that we're going to the right place.”

Nodding her head, Mia says nothing in return. A moment passes in silence before Mia hears Kento shifting again in the backseat. Before he even opens his mouth, Mia knows what he's going to ask.

“Ummm, are we there yet?”
