“His arm pit! Unprotected! Strike hard!!” someone cried. In a second she threw har dagger at Fionel and pinned her already injured arm to a thick tree trunk behind her. The girl screamed in pain, but the dagger was in bedded deep into the tree through her arm and it would be a job getting it out. Now she could concentrate on the voice. She saw that Ekatran was vulnerable and one of the women was heading towards it with a useless spear. As quick as she could run Shivana bolted behind the girl, who was now just meters away from Ekatran.
“Haven!” Fionel screamed from behind her, the girl turned distracted by her friends cries. But only turned to see Shivana with her dagger held up high. She drove it down, deep into the girls chest, and withdrew it. The girl fell to the ground, blood poured out, she was still alive but no for long. Better she suffer than she kill her quickly.
“That will teach you!” she laughed, wildly and turned back to Fionel who was still stuck on the tree.
“Was that one of you little friends?….Awww, shes dying…and you cant help her,” Shivana pointed at the girl who lay spluttering blood, crying on the floor. She laughed once more and turned her attention back to Fionel.
