Whose side are you on?

Screams and laughter. They were currently in a basement but the noises from above perplexed her as to what was happening. Zsadin removed her hands from Caleb's grasp, "I can walk by myself!"

As she started to proceed further, he blocked her, "You are injured, you should-",

"Don't you fucking tell me what to do! My companions are all up there!", she yelled and rushed above only to be shocked by the situation over there.

James was bound on a cross with a rope, badly beaten, covered with bruises, breathing ever so slowly. Some men around him kept touching at his wounds with a knife only to laugh when he hissed in pain.

Memories flashed before her eyes. Her father being stabbed and stabbed until he could not even let out a whimper and the laughter of others feeling like needles. She dashed at the nearest person, taking him by total surprise as she strangled him to death using her bare hands. Swiftly removing his weapons, she took out a knife from her collar and attacked the others as well.

Startled by the sudden motion, it took a while for the men to realize what was happening. She quickly striked, her attacks swift not giving any chance to the enemy. Seeing her back the men looked at Caleb, but he ignored them and they attacked her. She was already injured but the sight of blood made her aggressive. Her attacks threatening to wipe out all of them. When finally only a few left, she glared and turned towards them. Surprised and feared, the men started to back away and ran off. James' whimpers brought her back to reality and she quickly freed him and carefully laid him down to inspect his wounds.

After some time, a grinning Francois came into view as he stopped at a little distance away from her and looked at his brother.

"Whose side are you on? Hers or mine?"

At the same moment, loud screeching noises were heard as if many people were trying to barge into their hideout. But before Francois could head out, he was suddenly punched in the nose and yanked back as Zsadin tried to hit him again on his face. He blocked a few attacks while most of them hitting him but he finally pushed her away and hit her on the head with a wooden board.

Zsadin stood still for a while comprehending what just happened when blood trickled down her face onto her white shirt. Caleb, who till now was standing still, not sure as to what he should do, finally dashed towards his brother and rushed him out taking advantage of the fact that Zsadin was dazed.

But before Francois made his escape he dragged Caleb with him into the jeep while Zsadin stood still dazed due to the heavy blood loss, but not being able to do anything about her as she rushed towards James and hoistered him up when a group of familiar faces surrounded them and tried to take James. But Zsadin was already in a state of mindless awareness not allowing them to touch him, hitting anyone badly if they ventured anywhere near them. Compelled because of this, Jacobs sighed and aimed his tranq gun at her, shooting with precision and within seconds her body swayed away losing control over itself.
