Live Or Die

Chapter 11: Traitor

I swung my spear round, aiming a hit at Raphiel’s head. He blocked the blow and an arrow hit my side. Dagger lept up and pounced on Raphiel- I wanted to check on the others, but I had myself to worry about first. I jabbed at him, feeling my spear sink into his side. I was about to press it deeper, but through his screams at dagger something hit me from behind, knocking me down to the ground. I heard someone scream, and felt a knife go through my hand and into the ground. I was pinned. Though my right eye wasn’t seeing so well since its injury, I made out the figure of Jude standing over me cornered by Ruby and Miranda.

“JUDE!” Ruby screamed. All Miranda could do was hold her spear, shakenly.

“Ruby! Come with me. They are not strong enough to survive here! It is the only way.” I saw Ruby look at me, horrified. Then at Miranda, then Jude.

“LOOK WHAT YOU DID!” She screamed at him.

“It was the only way!”

“No! You’re a monster! A MONSTER!” He gnarled in rage, stuck a knife at Miranda’s throat and took her hostage. Dagger noticed, seeing me in trouble he let go of Raphiel to chase down Jude but Blabs tackled him down. They faced each other down, circling slowly throughout the chaos. They snarled, snapped and called to each other. Dagger looked at me for a split second, then to Blabs, and in a swift strike he bit into Blabs’ neck and crushed it, killing him. Jude took off, Miranda and Raphiel in tow. The battle ended. Harvey rushed over to Dasha who had an arrow in her side and a spear through her leg whilst Ruby fell to her knees and began to cry. I must’ve blacked out because that’s all I could remember.

When I woke up again My wrist was bandaged, and I was laying next to Dasha in our bedroom. Ruby was sat on her bed across the room and Harvey was nowhere to be seen. Dasha was still asleep when I woke up and I couldn’t move my arm. When I finally had the strength to get out of bed, I saw that Harvey had finished working on the house. Ruby had abandoned her project and we only had 3 Raptors left. Ares was dead. Dagger had to kill blabs, and Soveriegnty had been killed in battle. We needed a miracle. Jude had betrayed us and taken Miranda, and he knew where our home was. We needed to fortify the place- and we needed new tames. It was raining. How fitting.

When Harvey gets upset, he starts to work. He had worked so much that we now had metal gear- some metal armour, some tools and what intrigued me the most- a gun prototype. I know that I’m a great shot, so really this could turn the tide in our little war with Raphiel’s ‘empire’. That’s something for another time because right now, I need to focus on getting Dasha healed. Miranda said that there were other tribes on this island… Maybe we can trade for something to heal us up.
