Some time went by and nobody moved. It could be Arianta's last days of being free or she could end up dead, but at the moment nobody made the first move. Everything was silent and the tension was rising higher and higher.
After a while Roschar made the first move. He moved towards Arianta and Suz followed right behind him. She trusted Roschar. It was only a week, but she felt the care he was giving her and he saved her life once. She started to trust him more and more. Even feelings she didn't understand where forming inside her.
He was only 5 meters from Arianta and the tension raised to the peak. Even the Nightwalker started to go into battle position.
"Arianta was your name right? Listen, we will fight together against that Nightwalker. It is the best chance for our survival.", said Roschar silently to Arianta.
She was shocked, because she thought death or ending up as the Nightwalker's sex slave was going to be her future, but now new hope grew in her and she immediately went some steps back and the three formed a line against the Nightwalker.
The Nightwalker started to grin and moved forward, as he started to talk to them. " Listen kids, I only want that female there. Leave and live or die... or maybe, that Goblin girl looks beautiful. Yeah she will be held, as a pet. Kukuku. Too good, I am so lucky, geting two bitches in one day.", his laughter became maniacal at the end of his sentence.
Suz and Arianta didn't react. For them it was normal to get verbally attacked, many tried to get them riled up, while fighting. But for Roschar it was a first even though he wasn't insulted his mind was shouting inside his head," Nobody insults my Suz", over and over while his eyes turned completely red.
Roschar sprinted at full speed on his fours at the Nightwalker. He looked more like a beast, baring his fangs at the Nightwalker. Suz and Arianta were shocked at what suddenly happened. Suz tightened her grip on the daggers and sprinted after Rosch while screaming, " Rosch stop, think clearly and don't listen to your bloodlust and instincts."
Arianta followed right after Suz. She thought surprised, as she glanced at Roschar, "Never heard that Nightwalker would lose all reasons. No that must be the other bloodline in him".
"Female, what happened to the male?", Arianta asked Suz in a hurry. " We have names you know. I am Suzanna and that male is Roschar. It must be the Goblin blood in him. Goblins go berserker, when insulted or angered but it is very rare in corssbreeds, because the more you lose yourself the stronger you get. Which could be good for dumb creatures like Goblins, but for smarter creatures losing all rationality is dangerous. You could say it is a double edged sword. ", She shouted while baring her fangs at Arianta still angry at her for trying to kill her.
The distance between Roschar and the Nightwalker was growing shorter and shorter. Five meters between them, as Roschar suddenly threw his upper buddy up only running on his two legs. He extended all 8 bone blades in his arms, which surprised the Nightwalker, but what really shocked him was the sudden acceleration. The 5 meters were closed in under a second, it was too fast. Roschar managed to cut the left side and arm of the Nightwalker. It wasnt deep enough to hinder the Nightwalker, but the shock was deep. He knew if it wasn't Roschar, but another being that had more fighting experience, the Nightwalker could have been dead already.
"You little shit. I will kill you and eat you. No I will fuck your female in front of you and then kill you, bastard. I underestimated you, that won't happen again", the Nightwalker said while thinking, " He is too dangerous. I need to kill that shit at all cost, at his age group he could kill any young Nightwalker. It will be hell with him around, when he grows up. What is he mixed with? "
Suddenly from behind Suz and Arianta started to attack one side of the Nightwalker. On the right side Suz attacked his right eye with one dagger and the groin with the other, while Arianta attacked with her functional arm the left side of the Nightwalker. She tried to pierce his stomach.
The Nightwalker extended all his bone blades in his arms and legs to parry Suz and Arianta. One arm for Arianta and one arm and one leg to block Suz. These two didn't stop and attack the Nightwalker without pause. It was weird. The Nightwalker had a calm look on his face even though he was only defending. As Rosch made another sprint at the Nightwalker to slash him from behind, the Nightwalker made a simple side step so that Rosch crashed into Arianta. Luckily it was a shallow wound on her thigh, because of Roschar's uncontrollable charge. The Nightwalker experience showed, as he attacked the remaining Suz. She was cut in a horrible way. Her tendons on the legs were cut apart and she fell down like a puppet getting its strings cut.
The Nightwalker didn't want to kill her just make her unable to walk. He started to laugh maniacal and looked at Suz, while licking his lips, which made Rosch lose the last bit of rational thoughts he had. His eyes were glowing deep red as Rosch sprinted at the Nightwalker. Faster and faster till he was a single step away from the Nightwalker and again the Nightwalker just stepped aside as a bone blade cut Rosch throat almost separating the entire head of Rosch's body. The body of Rosch run 20 meters further and crashed abruptly after two more steps, blood was flowing everywhere and Rosch was getting silent. No breathing or anything was heard anymore. Complete silence.
"R... Ro... Rosch? Why are you lying there, stand up, come on, stand up. ROSCHHHHHH.", Suz couldn't make a sound, then started to silently mumble something till a heartbreaking scream left her lips. She started to crawl as fast as she could. But on the way she saw how much blood was on the ground. Her sobs and cries became louder and harder to watch.
Arianta knew it was over, but when she looked at the two she just didn't want to give up. She started to attack the Nightwalker, but he just played with her. Everytime he blocked her slashes and kicks, he contered with a small cut to her legs or arms, sometimes even on her chest to try and take a peak . He was having fun completely dominating the situation.
At that little free space, where no shrubbery or trees were growing, where trees around them reached almost the clouds and their trunks as thick as 10 adults holding hands isolated them from the outside world, a fight broke out. This 3 souls fought to the death against a Nightwalker, trying to survive the encounter. One right before death's door, the other unable to walk anymore and the last bleeding slowly into unconsciousness. All hope was lost.
Suz reached Rosch holding him tight, while looking at his pale face, his heartbeat weakening by the seconds. "Rosch don't die on me. You are my first friend. Saved my life twice now and protected me from behind the entire week. ", she talked, while crying even more and pressing the head of Rosch against her chest. " What should I do? My chest hurts and I don't understand why, please stand up I beg you. It feels like I should die too! ", She cried even stronger her mind in chaos. She rubbed her cheek against his smearing snot and tears over his face. She didn't stop rubbing both of his cheeks with hers, as accidentally there lips touched. She didn't know why, but it felt warm and good. She didn't stop kissing him, starting to lick his mouth, as she did his face so often, but his tongue didn't move, which made her cry even more. She took her dagger and aimed it at her chest, where her heart is and swings it.
Arianta and the Nightwalker didn't know what was going on there and they couldn't even look. They were completely engrossed in their own fight. She started to sway losing her bodily functions. She knew it was over and as she blicked up raising her arm, she saw the Nightwalker opening his arms, mocking her to try and stab him. She wobbled over almost reaching him. Aiming at his heart, extending her blades and swinging her arm in front, which wasn't really an attack more a falling forward with her arm pointed at the Nightwalker.
