Bella #8
“My sense of direction isn´t bad!”
She protested like an offended child.
“It´s just...it was dark and I was tired from fighting the thugs who tried to steal my sword. It´s really important you know? It belongs to my family for generations and although it´s not famous as the Meito, my father always told me, that it´s at least on pair with the Wazamo grade swords!”
For a moment forgetting how dire their situation was, her face expression changed, showing how proud she was to be allowed to wield Albus.
However, the gravity of their current situation remained itself as the whole underground erupted with echos of heavy steps and shouts of the marines that were getting closer and closer with every passed seconds. Fortunately it looked like the Tiger man had an escape plan as he started running towards certain direction.
For a moment she put the thought about her joining pirate crew aside as there were more pressing matters to focus on and followed him, only to realize that the “escape route” is heading towards dead end.
“And now what?!”
Bella asked with a hint of panic in her voice to be (again) surprised by the man´s raw strength, when he, with the assistance of his swords made a large hole in the stone wall, leading towards their freedom.
Using her own extraordinary strength, the swordwoman jumped through the hole, landing on the grass surface of the courtyard. The night was bright, illuminated by stars and crescent moon, so she could see, that the marines didn´t deploy more forces to protect this place, only the two guards stationed near the entrance gate she saw there earlier. However, while her entrance was silent enough to not alert them, the loud crack that accompanied their departure alert them immediately.
“What the...look, prisoners on the run!”
Yelled on of them, tall, bearded man in his late twenties, after he drew his sword and started running towards them, followed by the second sailor, short and stocky fellow armed with the standard cutlass.
