1 The ax and the city lights

CHAPTER 1

I take my lighter and point it at the horizon, lighting everything up. It was a long, wide corridor full of grenades on the floor.

- How am I going to escape? - I ask

"Use your skill," said the voice

- You are sick - said Natasha

"As if I never heard that," said the voice.

Natasha is smart, she knew perfectly well what she was doing, nor were my challenges good enough for her.

I carefully plan, a way to get rid of this trap. I step and step through the first grenade, but without activating it.

Going to the second, Natasha takes her rope and ties it to a bar on top of it.

It moves through the air. Taking care not to risk everything.

Even going through all the grenades, the last one at the end ended up surprising her.

Natasha was thrown against the door. He remained on the floor, had light cuts on his face. Her auburn hair was still stuck in her ponytail.

- Got it again, I must congratulate you

- From you, I want nothing! - shouted Natasha

- Let's go to the next one - said the voice

This time, there was a rope, separating one building from another.

" You must pass without falling," said the voice.

I didn't think twice, I used the ax handle, like a zipline and kept going until I reached the

my destiny. Arriving at the building, I ran to the elevator location. It looked fine, but the elevator stopped halfway.

I managed to open the elevator door, used the ropes and with the knife in my hand (in one of them), cut it and went straight down.

At the reception everything is normal, a waiting room, everything is lit, just like any other.

Natasha witnessed, that something was bad. Suddenly in the distance I see a strange animal, scorpion's body, hawk's claws, snake's head and crocodile's tail.

The animal was running towards me, I tried to escape by the place where I entered.

As soon as I climbed the stairs, I realized that everything was on fire. I had no other choice, I had to face it.

- I can come - I think

Crossing the wall, the animal stopped and stared at me with his eyes. Those dark, green eyes, watching every move.

- Attack! - cried the voice

Immediately, the animal responded to the command, with its claws, tearing my face, I couldn't stop. It was the end of me. It just was.

Suddenly, Lilian jumps on top of the animal and with the knife, pierces the animal, which explodes in ashes and sparks.

- Thank you, for a moment I thought you were going to die - said Natasha

- I would never let or let anyone harm you - said Lilian

"What a remarkable moment," said the voice.

- You can be sure - said Natasha

- We are a team, with a single challenge, which is to defeat you! - said Lilian

- My sweet and sweet, Lilian. You don't know anything about what's to come. Something of great impact - said the voice

- It doesn't matter - said Lilian

"Of course it matters, it's everyone's destiny," said the voice.

- No, it 's not . Just yours - said Natasha

- My dear, the power I wield is very great. Just two girls, wouldn't understand - said the voice

"Do you mean that all of this is for your own enjoyment?" - asked Natasha

"Not exactly," replied the voice.

- I can't understand - said Lilian

- Let's go to the next challenge.

Darkness took over everything. It was impossible to see anything.

- Lilian. - shouted Natasha

- Natasha? Where are you? - asked Lilian

- Follow the sound of my voice - I answer

- Okay - said Lilian

Natasha and Lilian hug and remain immobile until the darkness is gone. After passing, an immense cloud of locusts in the sky.

- Locusts? - asked Lilian

- Let's go fast, hide . shouted Natasha

We ran as fast as possible, and hid in a house a few miles away.

- Listen, stay here and protect yourself - said Natasha

- Is that you? - asked Lilian

- I'll see if it is, all right - I answer

- No, you stay - said Lilian

- I can't - said Natasha

Attentive Natasha appears in the middle of the street. Willing to face everything.

"See who's back," said the voice.

- Show what you're capable of - said Natasha

A strong wind, coming from the opposite direction, pushes me against my will.

I put my ax on the floor and wait. But the strength was very strong. My body flies and crashes, against a wall.

I go inside the building and hide.

- Lilian, I need to warn you, but how? - I ask

I wait a few hours and notice the silence in the air, then I go out and run to the house where Lilian is.

Natasha arrives at the house, and does not find Lilian.

- Lilian - said Natasha desperate

- Hi, what's up? - asked Lilian

- How good it is well. - I answer

- We have to be careful - said Lilian

- Rather, the plan is as follows: We go out in the early evening, we get food and drink, after that we go to another place.

- Good plan, but how are we going to get out without being noticed? - asked Lilian

- I distract him - Natasha replied

Lilian runs away. I keep looking until I disappear. But she is surprised, the voice had this plan in mind, before Lilian could escape she is kidnapped by a type of tube.

- Lilian, no - shouted Natasha
