Chapter 10: battlefield
A/N video is what sword fight was like if writing isn't very descriptive for you
also keep in mind, oh my god, no one here knows how to fucking listen. :)
JACOB
We walked down the floor, seeing creepy things like tarnished, blood-stained armor, skeletons, and one that creeped me out the most.
Paintings of people they most likely killed.
Deceptive, horrified faces filled the walls with more blood stains and swords. Preston's sword ran along the floor like a nail on a chalkboard.
God damn it, why couldn't he just pick it up already?
Our footsteps tranced around the old, creaky floor. Along with the steps, traumatized breaths were filling up the area, creating more tension than a fight at a school. One breath sounded the most scarred,
and it was Kat's.
"I can't take it anymore!" Kat blurted out and we all stopped.
"Can't take what anymore?" Holly replied.
"The fact that... in these past hours, people are dying faster than a lightning bolt. I mean, what the hell do they even want?"
"I mean, do they want the smell of fuckin' dead bodies all over the damn-" Holly stopped herself and turned around. "Woah what the hell?" Holly said.
"It can't be!" Kat said.
"Oh my God." Holly said.
What are they making such a huge fuss about?
Me thinking it was just girls being girls, I finally questioned.
"Jesus Christ, what are you guys making such a big deal abo- holy....." I saw what they were talking about.
"Ok, yes that is definitely every guard in this building!" Kat said.
Well ain't that obvious..
"Oh no worries, I have a sword." Preston said.
"I think we get that now, Preston." Holly said.
Finally someone spoke up about it.
"She has a point." Ash said..
Preston and the guards had a sword fight.
Preston ran up to a guard and launched the sword at him. Quickly, the guard defended himself and dodged it as if it were a mere tap on the shoulder. The guard thrust his sword towards Preston and he barely dodged it, sliding back.
"Don't think a little slide will knock me down." He countered and smirked.
He caught his breath very quickly and sort of spun around, hitting multiple people at the same time. Three or four people collapsed down, not showing any signs of moving in the near future. He moved back and relaxed, as if it was an easy thing for him to do.
What a try-hard.
Finally, someone made a move and attempted to stab him. His sword was against his chest, lazily resting there. He picked it up, pressing it against the guard's chest and trying to push him off balance. He partially succeeded and the guard fell back in some way, his pupils dilating in exhaustion.
"Come on, we didn't even get to the fun part!" Preston said in a mocking voice, but we all knew that he, too, was exhausted. "Fine. Somebody else want to fight them?" Preston asked. A wave of hesitation comes up, then a voice is finally heard.
"I'll go." Rose said.
"No."
"Yeah, I can. I've been hiding back. It's time I finally stood up."
He groaned. "Ugh, fine. Whatever the hell you say." He said, walking back. He slid back, coming to my ear. "She's so gonna get her ass killed. What the hell is she thinking?" He whispered.
"I've got no idea whatsoever." I said in a low voice.
Rose threw a punch and missed.
What a shocker.
Then, she did something I never thought I'd see from her.
She kicked him in the balls.
It sort of worked, but he regained his strength quickly. He threw down the sword, cracked his knuckles, and the noise made us all cringe. Holly winced and Kat held back a whistle.
He threw a punch and Rose dodged it.
What? Did I see that correctly?
Then what I expected to happen, happened.
He threw a punch right at her face and knocked her down. Wearily, she got back up, just to go back down. She got pinned to a nearby wall and he punched, hit after hit after hit. The noise hurt, but honestly, I couldn't do anything about it.
"Nobody's gonna do anything about it?" I said.
"Nah." Preston said.
"Yes... please.... help..... me..." Rose said in between punches. I exhaled in frustration and became silent. After he was done, he let her go and she laid there, whimpering, trembling on the floor. A silent wave arose.
Until somebody spoke up.
"The fuck, Rose? Why in the world would you do that!" Holly yelled in anger.
In a raspy voice, Rose answered, "I'm sorry, I just tried to help."
And some how, for some reason.
I felt no pity.
"Well, you know what, Rose? You know what? You didn't! You just ended up getting yourself killed and now this supposed prophecy is going to become true, and we're probably never getting out of this fucking place! Damn it, Rose, you just had to go and be a literal cabrona and try to help! Next time, just fucking listen to Preston and stay back. Oh wait, who am I kidding? That advice is going to be useless because you'll be in your grave soon enough." She yelled. "Dios mio, nadie aqui sabe como escuchar."
When Holly said she starts talking in Spanish when she's angry, I never believed her. I'd seen her angry many times and she never pulled out the Spanish.
Not until now at least.
Rose started crying and it hurts my ears. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you or anyone." It became quiet again, because at the moment we all realized one thing, and we all saw it coming.
She had died.
"Holly, why'd you have to get so rough?" Kat asked.
"Oh dear God! I'm trying so hard to not talk in Spanish, so I'm keeping this short. The fucking prophecy literally came true, we're never getting out of this goddamn place, and from what I'm seeing, none of you guys care. Did you bitches not hear what I was just saying to that girl, that is now dead? If only we never got trapped in this place! Ugh! God damn it, Rachel, why the fuck did you have to get those powers!" Holly yelled in anger, extremely pissed off. She looked up, probably yelling in her head in Spanish.
"Holly, that is not my fucking fault. I'm blaming you because you took me into that room with all those damn chemicals and spilled them on me! So it's your fault, not mine! Geez!" Rachel replied.
"That was not my fucking fault! Nathaniel had told me to put those on you to test them, it was all just a fucking mistake. Your powers are a mistake!" Under her breath, Holly said something else, throwing me completely off.
"Just like you are."
"Excuse me? What the fuck did you just say? Did you just call me a mistake?" Rachel asked.
"Well that's exactly what you are!" Holly said.
Their yelling got too annoying and everyone was too chicken to interrupt.
But I did.
"Jesus Christ, you two need to calm down." I said.
"Oh shut the hell up, Jacob!"
