Chapter 22 - Forest Fire

Engulfed in flames, stomping through the hotel searching for people to indiscriminately kill. He heads to the kitchen and is gunned down by Maid. Lain heads out the back door of the hotel. When outside, she spots gleams of light appearing from far away, stopping her from moving any further. Instead, she heads up the hotel, a rope coming from the roof of the hotel.

She climbs up the rope and heads to the third floor, spotting Seth and the group following behind him. Lain sighs, "De alguma forma, eles bateram nela." (Looks like she was defeated somehow.)

Lain jumps off of the wall and swings her way into the same floor as them, breaking the window. She lands, taking out two knives, they all notice, spinning around to look at her.

"Você é um amigo ou você é o inimigo?" (Are you a friend, or are you an enemy?) She pauses, taking a stance. "Porque não importaria de qualquer maneira." (Cause it wouldn't matter either way.)

Seth calmly walks up to her, hands in his pockets, "Não estou de muito bom humor, então, mesmo que você seja bonita, posso ter que matá-la." (I'm not in a very good mood so even if you're pretty, I might have to kill you.)

Lain bows with a smile, "Estou feliz que você me ache bonita." (I'm glad you think I'm pretty.)

Lain goes to stab Seth in the throat with one of her knives, using the other one to stab him somewhere else on his body. Seth quickly grabs both of her hands, kicking her in one of her legs. Lain puts less force to her leg, giving Seth the opportunity to toss her over his shoulder, slamming her to the ground and stunning her.

She lays on the ground, curling up in a ball, seemingly in pain. Seth sighs.

"Isto é o que acontece..."

Lain sweeps Seth, dropping him to the ground, but he quickly recovers, distancing himself away from her. He focuses on her face, noticing a smile of pleasure go across her face. "Estou feliz que um menino tão bonito pudesse me machucar assim!" (I'm happy that such a cute young boy could hurt me like that!)

Seth instantly looks uncomfortable, not really knowing how to react to her comment. "O que você disse?" (What did you say?)

Lain giggles quietly, swaying back and forth to disorient Seth.

"Hey! Just go on without me, I'll deal with her!" The rest of the group nod to each other and immediately start to leave. The only one hesitating being Nixon.

"Seu portugues esta muito bom." (Your Portuguese is really good.)

"Cadela."

Seth goes weaves towards Lain and she goes to stab him with one of her knives, missing and transitioning into her other knife, going in to stab him again. He grabs her by the arm again and moves behind her, forcing her to the ground and breaking her arm.

She drops to the ground with a whimper, her eyes going to the back of her skull. She bits the collar of her shirt. Seth back up, hopping up in down, prepping to move in again. Lain spins across the ground, attempting to cause a cut on Seth's leg. Seth back up, her knife barely missing.

One arm hanging limp, she lowers herself to the floor, grabbing the knife she dropped that was in her right hand with her mouth. She smiles and moves in again. Attempting to cut him, he dodges, attempting to stab, he parries, attempting to stab him again, he parries and knees her in the stomach. Seth becoming progressively more and more uncomfortable.

Henry is on the third floor now, avoiding getting killed by Maid. He notices two people, though he doesn't realize it, these two people are Seth and Lain. In a rage, he charges towards Seth, who swiftly kicks him in the head, forcing him to stumble to the side. Seth beats the side of his leg to stop the fire from spreading to the rest of his clothes and Lain continues to try and attack Seth.

Seth puts the knuckle duster on his hand and punches Lain in the face, making her recoil and back away from Seth. Henry puts his sights on Lain, charging at her and attempting to tackle her. She easily jumps over him and rolls away, chucking the knife in her hand into Henry's back. Lain grabs the knife in her mouth and prepares herself for another attack.

"Demônio?" She questions, contemplating if she should attack Seth or Henry.

Henry whips his head around to look at them again, swinging wildly at them. Seth takes out a hidden revolver in his waistband and fires it into his head up close repeatedly. Henry finally collapses onto the floor and Seth reloads his revolver.

Lain runs at Seth and he uses the revolver to smack her in the face, stunning her for a couple of seconds. "Por que você não me bate com mais força!?" (Why don't you hit me harder!?)

Seth sighs, looking like he's about to vomit, fires into her leg, dropping her to the ground. "I'm not going to waste any more time with you."

Henry isn't dead yet, quickly getting back up, surprising Seth.

"What the hell are you?"
