Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: I can’t stand It.

I lay panting for a while, gasping and wheezing deep breaths, stunned at

what had just happened and the fact, "I had made it through without breaking my neck was a double bonus, I waved my hands about trying to stop the stinging sensation in my fingertips, flexing them in and out.

My arms shook, it was getting harder to concentrate, pumping more adrenalin through my body, pushing myself even harder than ever. "My body going into over drive. My mind raced with new possibility's, mustering up as much wit as possible while my temples throbbed in pain and shock, I huffed out a shaky breath looking about me, the area was clean and tidy, nothing out of place.

Only to see the stars in the sky twinkle back at me in the dark and alleyways from around the house. My feet slipping from underneath me as I tried to get back up, catching my wet foot on the slimy green mouldy gravel, knocking my knee to the side as the bone crunched, that was against the wall, my back arching as I slide back down to the ground with a thump.

I growled, throwing my head back with a curse, pulling myself into an angry upright and unorthodox position. My leathers scraped at the knees as I knelt on all fours, getting a grip on myself, gripping the wall and pushing up on my heal of my feet as they wobbled like jelly on me.

Finely I'm standing up, "feeling somewhat tippy-toed, "Wobbling back and forth on a

merry-go-round feeling sick as a doe and that's what I get for being half supernatural and stupid, half of my human body felt like it was exported to another place on the universe..."feeling dead in its weight, I growled out, the thought of it being dragged backwards through the mud,

"making my pore heart sink to the ground in shame.

"At last, "I've finely made it... "I'm still alive and kicking," I said to the stars now watching me, I sighed, looking down over the side. It was quite far down, and one of my best achievement, yet… come on...getting my body moving! 

My body wobbling as I struggled to move another inch. My feet scraping the floor, I shuddered too tired to care or even move another muscle...

"Come on feet... "whispering to myself... "I know you can do it... come on now... that's a good boy."

I smiled pointing to my left heavy foot in front of the other, moving one inch at a time. "Once I've got the motivation going, they'll moved on their own." I guess I was a little drunk right now, because I couldn't even stand up straight. Even my vision was still blurred. I tried to move my hands in front of me,

"ending up walking like a zombie." I groaned, snorting out a laugh afterwards.

If anyone could see me now, they would be in a fit of laughter," sighing with relief. "How on earth have I even managed to climb up there... "even a monkey uncle would be jealous," that information was beyond even me, but I was just too cold and in pain to care. There were to many times in the past where I wouldn't have made the climb.

I always seemed to fall flat on my face. Even as I practiced with Yahweh, I would always end up with bruises that would last for days even weeks.

You would have thought I was some form of nutter; that I would beat myself up on purpose to the state I got myself in. Yahweh laughed at me that day, I was not amused. I was covered in mud from head to toe from the amount of falls I received; it was enough to amuse the old man for the next few weeks. I was at my limit back then, I even cried myself to sleep those nights, the pain was atrocious. If only he was to see me now, he would have laughed, it would be the same thing all over again.

I would never hear the end of it. looking over my shoulder, to see my Prince Charming walking towards the next ally, with his Commander in toe. I whispered so only he could hear me.

Well, I could only hope.

You'll looking for me pretty boy?" watching as he freezes on the spot before he could move another inch more. The man must have realised that someone else was with him now.

I watched as his Commander looked around, the Prince shaking his head. I could tell he was looking around for me as he communicated with his commanding officer, trying to follow my soft voice, making me grin as I waited for him to respond.

Only the suspense was killing me, and I knew I had stumped him, since he was with his commander, it was better to catch him off guard when he was by himself even if he did have someone else with him.

"Show yourself," he shouted out, his eyes scanning the area. I cackled watching

the man as he spun in circles,

"I don't think so," I demanded, moving

into a different location so he found it hard to track me. Using the wind to my advantage, I could shield myself with the noise, hoping it would be possible of disguising my scent to.

I had a funny feeling that these men weren't human at all and I didn't want to take any future chances of them finding me or cause me any more problems, I didn't want to fight them in another battle, not with any of these men I wasn't strong enough.

"Come now," he shouted out, I must have been quiet for far too long, noticing they both had moved once again.

"You're not scared of little old me, now are you?" he sniggered not keeping it a secret.

"How can you be?" he laughed," you took out one of men with no problems at all," he snorted, watching his pretty blue eyes as he looked around to his Commander for answers,

"I hope you know I did it in self-defence," I shouted, scoffing at his stupid comments! Studying them as they both moved around.

"Really, who does he think I am," I laughed. looking down at him for another moment

longer.

"You know for a such a sexy man you sure have your priorities wrong lately," I shouted out over the wind, "and you sure have a potty mouth on you woman," he commented sharply, sniggering as his Commander watched us in amusement.

"It's either that or your as thick as shit," I screamed at him, not giving two hoots who the man was.

"You truly know how to treat a woman," I snarled, "besides.... What if I needed the help.

That I was in need of and you took that all away," I said fuming, "yet here you stand, throwing accusations around that you have no right to accuse me of.

"Are you completely nuts or do you just act like it," hearing his Commander let out a hard laugh.

"So here you are causing other people harm and not doing anything about it.

"You truly disgust me! You stand there thinking you can arrest me for sticking up for myself. Your more of an idiot than I gave you credit for."

Man…I was on the war path now, staring down at them, giving them daggers without blinking. "Shouldn't you be out there bothering someone else for a change," I shouted through the wind, moving once again. He looked in the

direction I was no longer in, moving along the path, hoping to catch him from the corner of my vision.

He smiled as if I told him my funniest joke. rolling my eyes typical bloody man, I

thought,

"You know my lovely, "he replied laughing, "you're being such a disrespectful brat to a royal, and yet I find you rather refreshing. "Brat," I screamed, my face turning red with anger, "You know it takes one to know one," I cursed him.

I could tell he was trying not to laugh as he tried to track me again. "You can count on me finding you woman, and when I do, I don't know whether to have you arrested or murder you myself for hurting one of my men.

Might even resort to other means," he laughed in amusement, "maybe for disrespecting me so," he sniggered. "Then you will do what you have to do, "but either way, "I'll be leaving that decision to you alone. "As I see fit, I saved a woman's life tonight and with my own bare hands," I shouted out frustrated, I really wanted to ring his neck now.

I was so frustrated with him and with myself, our conversation going on and on, "I let this talk drift in the air. He was so ignorant of the situation before him, that I felt like kicking the damn wall down on top of him. I needed to get the hell out of there and quickly, or I'll be doing just that.

"Can't a woman even defend herself these days," I mumbled, watching him move in my direction once again. My eyes twinkled in the moon light with mischief, noticing that he seemed closer than usual. I was cutting things too close with this man; how had I let him get this close to me, whispering things under my breath, hearing him giggle at my comments.

rolling my eyes hoping in a way he would catch me, only to see what his punishment would be. "However, in another way, I couldn't let him near me ever again; but I didn't want to go to prison. I could see him testing the waters as he got closer to me.
