Briah looked towards the prisoner and smiled despite
the shivers running over her body. She noticed the wounds on his back, freshly
bleeding minutes ago, already appeared to be mostly closed. As she was
examining his back, she had worked her way towards him and was about to speak
to him again when a loud crack filled the air. It was deafening loud and echoed
throughout the forest around her. It sounded like it had come from everywhere
and immediately disoriented her. The guards had resumed their posts next to the
prisoner and the one standing to the left fell to his knees and crashed face
first to the dirt.
Briah froze in confusion, but the prisoner
immediately turned around and started running towards her. The other guard
reached out towards him but was stopped short by another loud crack in the air,
and Briah watched as the side of his face exploded shattering his jaw, sending
bone chips and blood everywhere. The prisoner tackled her to the ground
breaking her mental shock.
"Get off me." She yelled as she slapped at
his arms and momentarily freed herself.
She started to stand, but he grabbed her and pulled
her back towards the ground.
"Stay down," he yelled. All around her
guards and prisoners ran around in confusion. The hissing sound of arrows in the
air and the sight of them striking guards with wet thuds followed by red
splashes of blood made Briah duck instinctively.
