Shaking my head as I approach Cachi and Alpha I take one of her arms and wrap it around my shoulder. "Oi, farmer boy, take her other arm," I pause looking back over my shoulder at the tavern exit, "Mr. Handless is waiting by the tavern door, so lets head around the back." There was a window or two, giving them the perfect opportunity to sit back and watch how the rest of the bloodbath played out. I wanted to see who would be left standing, ultimately putting themselves in the lead, and who would be left fighting for the chance to scrape themselves from the bottom.
"Kassia is dead," I add, as we round the back of the tavern, "well, I am almost certain she is." And even if she wasn't, there was no way that I was going back in for her, though if Cachi decided he'd want to, I guess I wouldn't stop him. It would be the perfect excuse to ditch his sorry ass if he died fighting. Though as I examine Alpha, taking in the extent of her wounds- hell, my own too- I think he proved to be more useful alive at the moment, not that I would ever admit that to him, or to Alpha.
Though I had a feeling that Alpha and myself would be fine. After all the girl cut off a fucking head, then in the next breath performed an amputation on the boy from 11. For a career drop out, the girl was deadly.
"How are you holding up, babe?" I ask as I unhook her arm from my shoulder, lowering her so that she could lean back against the tavern wall for support, and peeking into one of the window to watch the brawl within. "Things are getting messier- OH SHIT!"
Carly Volkov, the innocent girl from nine, the capitols darling, had just skewered the crazy bitch from three right in the heart like a fish kebab. A girl who had looked relatively harmless, had just proven to be as dangerous as the career beside me.
"Make a note: stay clear from Carly Volkov."
Pulling away from the window I pop a squat, looking from Alpha to Cachi and back. "We gotta get out of here."
