Chapter 7: Running

Last time: “Serenity, watch out!’ He screamed. But it was too late....

Simultaneously after he had told her to watch out the second pair of feet picked her up lifting her right off of her feet. He could hear her screaming, but couldn’t see what was happening to her.

She was then thrown down onto the ground, which was followed by a loud groan. She was a few feet away from the window that they were using for their escape. His blood ran cold when he saw who had attacked her. It was the red colored hair freak again. He was leaning over her body, touching her.

Kaiba could feel dread wash over him when she didn’t move at all or make a sound. There was no flinch or whimper. Her form was silent.

He had to get up there, he had to beat the living shit out of this demented leader for everything thing that he had to him and especially to Serenity. He had to do it because of the continuous harm that he had caused Serenity. This bastard had to pay...

With strength he didn’t know he possessed he pulled himself up and out of the window. The leader was oblivious to his presence, which at the moment, was right behind him. Kaiba couldn’t handle it anymore when he saw that the leader was caressing Serenity in a gut wrenching loving manner. His rage consumed him and he pulled the leader up and hurled him away from Serenity’s prone form.

“It’s time to pay for what you have done to me...to her.” The last part was whispered but Kaiba didn’t care if the leader heard him or not.

He advanced swiftly giving no warning of the oncoming attack, which took the form of his fist. He pulled his arm back and released it, the force tremendous, onto the leaders greasy jaw. It was whipped to the side with a loud crack. Kaiba could only smirk evilly because of the pain that he had caused.

He then advanced again and gave the leader one in his gut. An immediate oomph was sounded followed by the leader dropping to his knees.

Kaiba wasted no time. He picked the leader up and slammed him against the nearest wall.

“You sick fuck.” Kaiba spat at the very dazed man.

He then remembered Serenity, she was still lying there on the floor unmoving. He needed to help her. He slammed the leader against the wall, then hurled him to the ground. He then gave him a very hard kick in the gut, ensuring that he wouldn’t get up for quite a while. He would be very happy if he had broken a few ribs with that kick.

He decided now would be the best time to get out of here, he had wasted too much time already. They had to leave right now. He went over to the backpack that Serenity seemed to want to take with her. He then knelt down next to her.

He got worried when he couldn’t feel her pulse. But after a while he located the soft taping against her skin just below her jaw line.

He lifted her up into his arms and cradled her against him.

The front door of the house opened and at that moment all hell broke loose. There were shouts and running footsteps.

Kaiba made a break for it at that moment. He ran still cradling Serenity to him. What else was there to do in their situation? He was outnumbered greatly and he couldn’t protect her, so he ran.

He was alarmed when a bullet whizzed past his head and grazed a tree, spraying bark everywhere. So they obviously weren’t too pleased that they were getting away.

Kaiba ducked behind a tree, catching his heavy breath and contemplating what to do next. He couldn’t run forever. This thought put doubts in his. Could they pull this escape off?

He eyes roamed around their surroundings. They where in a heavily treed forest, but that could not help him. Sure it was good for cover, but he needed somewhere to hide. At least until the girl resting in his arms gained consciousness.

That was when he spotted their savior. It was a cave, but a very well disguised cave. At first glance all you saw was rocks, trees and bushes - the normal layout of a forest. It was what was behind these rocks, bushes and trees that mattered.

It was a small opening, but it definitely was a cave. He could hear their shouts still but they were faint and echoed signifying that they weren’t anywhere near the two escapees.

Kaiba made his way over trying his best to part everything out the way so he could get in. He had to bend down to get in, but when he was inside he could straighten out to his full height again. He immediately sought refuge and receded back into the furthest parts of the cave.

He placed Serenity down carefully. The ground was dipped making it more comfortable for her. He then took of his trench coat and placed it over her cold form. It covered every inch of her body, sheltering it from the soon to be cold air. It was darkening outside, alerting everybody that it would be night soon. With night came cold air.

He propped the backpack up against the cave wall, near to where he had placed her. He then knelt beside her. He lightly ran his fingers down the side of her face, but this didn’t seem to affect her. He had a gut feeling that something was wrong. It just didn’t make sense that she was cold and pale after being thrown on the ground. He couldn’t find any outer damage on her head. So why exactly was she still unconscious? Nothing added up, her symptoms weren’t ones of a concussion, but of something else.

Kaiba looked to her backpack for answers. He rummaged through it and what immediately caught his attention was a rectangular red stiff bag inside of the main compartment in her backpack. He took it out and placed it before him.

Upon opening it he was confronted by an assortment on syringes and bottles of some sort of substance. His blood ran cold...
