Chapter 13: Tenacious Fighting Spirit
Pulling her trigger she began to fire at the bikers in the rear in mid air.
If I miss, I’m done
Her move came as a surprise to the bikers making it impossible for them react in time. Theresa spun in mid air aiming for the rider in the middle, she nearly missed him but luckily managed to hook him by the neck with her right arm. He let out a choking sound as his oesophagus got pressured. His body lifted from the bike and the man saw his life flash before his eyes. She yanked him forward so as to use him as a landing cushion.His body hit the ground first followed by hers bouncing on him, blood exploded out of his mouth upon impact. His ribs had shattered along with other numerous bones.
After hitting the ground they separated and rolled on the on the ground like some weightless objects.
Shit her whole body was on fire
The rolling had scrapped a lot of skin from a lot of areas on her body. Pain was emanated from all over her body she couldn’t even tell exactly where she was hurt. Blood flowed from her hair going down her left cheek.
The rider she had used as a cushion had died instantly upon impact so by this time his body was motionless, only a pool of blood emerged from beneath him.
“Fuck that bitch killed Tony!” yelled a rider who had witnessed the fall
“There she is, she’s still alive kill her!!”
She lifted her gaze and spotted them coming on their bikes. Reaching for her holsters her heart skipped a beat
My guns
she looked around and saw them lying down next to the biker’s body far from her
Fuck
She tried to stand up but her legs were like spaghetti, the pain was just too much so she fell back down. The bikers were coming for her and with very serious intent to kill, if she did not run now it would be too late.
Damnit
She once again tried to stand, this time using a tree as support. After a long struggle she did it but the bikers were already too close for comfort. She darted her eyes around her to look for an easy route because there was no time to either get the guns or run long distances, she also didn’t have the strength. Her body trembled from pain.
There! she saw an area densely populated with trees
Using all she had left she took off in that direction, limping.
“Catch her before she gets in there!!” yelled one of the bikers seeing through her plan
It was a race against time, she limped towards her salvation and a bike also came from her right to cut her off. The closer she got, the closer the bike got too. Calculating the situation she saw there was no way she would outrun a motorcycle so she used the ounce of strength in her feet to jump, throwing herself towards that tree infested area. The rider pursuing her got there in time and grabbed her foot. Upon contact, all hope shattered within Theresa’s heart, she was going to die.
As the biker was about to cheer the unexpected happened, Theresa’s shoes slipped off leaving the man holding her boot. Theresa’s body fell into the safe zone but began rolling. The place was a slope. The fall was so painful she could not even do anything to try and stop it.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!” swore the rider holding her boot “shit!” he threw it against a tree
“I doubt she’d survive in the condition she was in” commented one of the three men
“Lets got and look for more prey, you know how Ceaser gets if you go back empty handed” said the other in agreement
“You guys go on, I’m going after that girl, she killed one of us” he said and cranked his bike
He steadily rode downhill after Theresa. Her fall had finally been halted by a tree. She sat leaning on that tree, trying to catch her breath. As she sat there in the somewhat relaxing quiet environment her peace was disrupted by the sound of a motorcycle engine and a voice
“Surrender if you know whats good for you!” he yelled as he tactfully maneuvered his bike through the closely packed trees
He followed me
She tried to move but her body did not respond, she had taken too much damage.
Fuck, please one more time
But her body refused to cooperate. She could hear that his bike was getting closer and it was only a matter of time before he was onto her.
The multiple obstacles made it difficult for him to speed so he couldn’t catch up to Theresa as easily as he would on clear land.
“I know you are here, come out!!” he stopped his bike to look around
Where is she, I know she couldn’t have gone far he thought looking around
Sitting there helpless she could feel her consciousness slowly drifting away but she kept on fighting to stay awake.
“Prove to Tom that you can protect yourself so he doesn’t have to worry about you”
“How?”
“By showing him you are strong”
The thoughts came to her like a dream as things slowly blurred
“Tom I know, thank you. Please take care of yourself. I love you”
“I love you too Theresa and I’ll never let anyone take you away from me again”
She began whizzing, the whole idea of her staying conscious was beginning to strain her body.
I really wish you had been here to see me Tom, i fought hard. I’m sorry if I don’t make it Tom………I………..I
Her thoughts began getting scrambled, she was half conscious. All her senses were slowly dulling and the vision was blurry. With the dull hearing and vision she heard footsteps and saw someone coming towards her and everything went black. Her body slid from the tree onto the ground.
