The One

TWENTYFOUR

"Fuck!" She jelled,
kicking at the wall.

"Calm down Onida!" Siu whispered.

Mere sighed, still sitting in front of the door, "Definitely Libby."
The voice of the elderly councilor traveled through it.

"I can't do this!" Onida hissed.

Mere looked over her shoulder at her,
"Siu is right, you need to calm down. They might just end her, all of us for that matter, if they think they no longer need us."

Mere's face was starting to swell and bruise now.
Her left cheekbone was forming a nice crusty layer of dried blood.

"They won't kill you, " Said Siu,
"they enjoyed your fighting spirit to much, these men are sick like that "

Mere shook her head, " Yeah, don't even start."
She put on a heavy voice, "This one will birth strong babies" she mimicked.
One of the man had said it while another had put a knife to her.

Siu swallowed in reply, looking sad.

Onida saw it, "I'm sure he's alright."

Siu turned away from her,
" They were out to kill them, he had a sword to his throat. He's dead. "

" He's not only dead, you had like 3 decent conversations with him? " Mere sighed.

Onida hissed, " Don't be so... Mere!"

"Can we stop using the names and go back to the numbers?" Mere hissed back.

"You think that smart?" Said Siu, "you are ONE... "

Mere shrugged, "I volunteered to be. They agreed for a reason."

Siu rolled her eyes, "We can start with the numbers when you stop the self sacrificial bullshit!"

Mere growled and got up.
Kicked the door and went back to feeling around the walls of the room.

"You'd think they'd expect a room like this to be used for this kind of crap!" She mumbled,
"Any kind of secret escape! Seriously!"

Onida had touched every inch of this room already.
It was simply a room. To put stuff in.
No windows, one door, a bunch of walls.

Siu just stood there, staring at the door.

" You alright? " Onida asked.

" You think any of them are still alive? " Siu whispered.

Onida sighed,
Agnus had come crashing into their living area, from Aya's room.
He had climbed the balcony and had upset the invaders.
The other men had called him a traitor, he had returned the word with passion.
He had taken out several men, the five helping him.

She had taken out a man with a chandelier herself.

Mere had taken out several in that creepy assassin way of hers,
stabbing them quickly and numerous times.

Siu and Ivana had strung a guy up in the curtains.

And Aya had grabbed the pup, making sure they didn't get in the way.

But guards had come, opening the door to their room.
While being followed by the enemy, like a bunch of idiots.
They could have escaped via the balcony if they hadn't.
Teddy had been outraged at the guards as much as the invaders, once he had completely destroyed the door of the room the invaders had locked him in. He had been with Mere.

The guards and the intruders were fighting all around them, Agnus had bulldozered a way out of the room.
Told Teddy to get them to Kur and see if he could get to Morten once they did.
Teddy had protested as Agnus flung himself into a plains man, that had come after them, roaring his displeasure.
