Chapter 40: One down

"Where did she go?" One of the men asked the person beside him.

"I don't know. You guys go there, I'll go on the other direction." The other man suggested.

"Good. Give me a signal when you find her." The man again said, then turned around with the others to continue his search.

Sorcha is hiding behind the tree, trying to breathe as slow and quiet as possible. She's only a few meters away from them, thus, she heard their conversation clearly. The men separated, good news for her. She don't know if this person is just confident about himself, or if he's a fool to look for her alone. Either way, she can't afford to underestimate the enemy.

She silently bent down, and picked up a pebble. When the man isn't looking at her direction, she tossed it towards the bush, creating rustling sounds.

When the man heard it, he became alert and looked to where the sound came from. He smiled, then slowly walked towards the bush.

"Girl, don't be scared. This uncle definitely won't hurt you." He said playfully, while approaching the bush. He didn't bother making a signal for his comrades, thinking he's enough to catch Sorcha.

When the man almost reached there, sorcha shouted in her mind, 'chance!'

Then she instantly jumped and ran forward to him. She lifted her legs, then kicked the man's arm, making him lose his grip to the gun he's holding.

"Damn it!" He hissed. He glared at the unexpected appearance of the girl from his back, scolding his self for not being careful.

Sorcha quickened her pace then, with her other leg, she kicked the man again.. on his crotch.

"Argh!!" He shouted angrily. "Girl, my patience isn't as high as you think." He gained his stance, then prepared to catch the girl.

Sorcha was prepared as well. She raised her right arm, deflecting the blow. Then she put both of her hands on his shoulder to lift herself up, and used her knees to hit his jaw.

'Pang!' a crisp sound was heard. Having been hit there, the man blanked out. Taking the opportunity, Sorcha with her hands, chopped the back of the man's neck, making him completely unconscious.

'One down' she thought inwardly. She took the man by his collar, then pulled it towards the tree she was hiding from before to hide him.

She's lucky, this man underestimated her. She looked around. When she deemed it safe, she once again ran to create more distance.

'Hiding the unconscious guy will only delay the time for the other men to discover him.' She calculated in her mind. 'The next time, they will no longer put their guards down.'

Chapter 41: Unexpected Appearance

*Huff huff*

Sorcha has been running for a long time now. Her breathing starts to become heavy. She didn't expect that the men following her, would see her in no time after she made one of them unconscious.

That man underestimated her but she also underestimated the other guys. Although at the moment they couldn't see her, the distance between them has shortened a lot.

She looks around her. Sorcha found a vacant, tattered house. Taking advantage of the terrain, and her still undeveloped body, she ran towards there while trying to remain hidden from their sights.

Upon entering the house, she saw that it is actually cleaned up. As if the place isn't abandoned like how it's appearance suggested from the outside.

She put her guard up. 'is this a trap?' she asked herself, but instantly scratched the idea. It isn't possible to be one, when their plan was disrupted by her.

She carefully walked inside, looking for any signs of human presence. She looked at the table and frowned. She went near it and extended her hands towards a bowl on top of it.

'Still warm.' she noted in her mind as she observes the food inside of it. 'there definitely is someone in here.'

'should I ask for help?'

'No. What if they're just normal civilians?

They'd be in danger if I get them involved.'

Sorcha played a monologue inside her head.

'I should leave.' she finally decided. But when she's about to go away, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the outside. She halted immediately, and took cover behind a kitchen cabinet.

The sound became louder and louder, and she can finally hear their conversation clearly.

"Look around. She must be here." One man ordered the others. "Remember, do not be fooled by her weak appearance." He added. They weren't careful before making them spend so much time in searching for her. If they still can't catch her any sooner, they'll be in deep trouble.

"Miss, I know you're here." One man said, his demeanor seemed more experienced than the others. His tone isn't warm, though he sound polite.

'how to leave?' Sorcha calculates in her mind the possible ways to leave the place. When she saw an opportunity to escape she calmed herself in preparation, but another sound of footsteps was heard again from the direction she's going. Her heart skipped a beat, as she stopped on her tracks once more.

When she finally saw who's coming, her eyes widened.

'How could he be here?!' she exclaimed inwardly. Recovering from her shock, she hurriedly ran and pushed the person down on the ground with her. Thankfully, her actions didn't make a loud noise, and the person below also didn't produce any sound.
