Chapter 16 - Escape Plan

"Give it up boy, there is no way you will be able to get out of this place alive," said the old lady as she threw one of her spider legs at him.

"Why should I, you old witch" replied Abel as he slightly avoided the leg that was coming his way before picking up a plank.

"You wish to face me with that thing" said the old lady with a laugh.

"It should be enough to deal with you" reply Abel with a serious look on his face.

"You don't get it boy, I am not a human so something of this caliber can not even leave a scratch on me" she said with a laugh.

'You think I didn't know that you are a monster. Well, that makes it the two of us so let's see if I will be able to get you out of the way with this plank' Abel thought to himself.

The old lady begins to swing her legs at him while out the same time shooting some substance off her mouth as she tries to hit Abel with it but they all fail to get a hit at him as he was able to avoid them all.

Meanwhile, Abel was making his way forward as he continues to dodge the legs until he was only an inch away from her but before he could get close enough to her, she suddenly swing all four of her legs at him which block any chance to escape as and he was hit on the chest by one of the legs before he was sent flying backward once more.

Abel was sent crashing into one of the walls as he spat out a mouthful of blood. And seeing the young getting up from the fall, the old lady was really angry.

"Why can't you just die like a normal human already" she yelled before swinging more legs at him but this time around she decided to go after him to prevent him from avoiding her attack and distancing himself. 

But unknowing to the old lady, that was all Abel wanted, for her to come at him while leaving the door unprotected.

"it is going to take you more than that in order to kill me you old witch" replies Abel as he continues to dodge the legs.

'All I have to do now is look for an opportunity to hit her in the head before leaving' thought Abel.

The two continue with their fight for some time and Abel was able to avoid some of her attacks while sustaining some injuries and seeing how slow he has become compared to when they started fighting.

"I have to say that you really put up a fight for someone of your age but it seems like you have reached your limit boy" said the old lady with an evil grin on her face.

Abel didn't bother to waste words with her and continue to observe her while trying to look for any opening which could be credited to the training he has been through with Mr. McCray on finding any opening and weakness if the opponent is stronger than you.

Abel tried searching but couldn't think of a way to land a hit on her since she could predict his movement which leave him with the idea of exploiting her weakness which is being overconfident that everything is within her control.

"I guess I will have to sacrifice getting some wound in other to smack her in the head and be quick at it before mother begins to get worried" mutter Abel to himself as he continues to act weak while dodging the attack.

The old lady continue to throw more legs at him and a lot faster this time around since her prey has gotten weak and after many attempts to hit him, one of her legs was able to get to him and he was knocked back but before he could realize what has happened to him, one of the legs has pierced right through his stomach as he let out a painful scream.

"Got you, now let's see how you are going to avoid getting eaten" said the old lady with a chuckle.

"Let.. me go" said Abel as he begin to struggle.

"Not a chance, after causing me so much trouble just to get a hold of you and you think I would just let you off, dream on" replied the old lady before slamming him into the wall to weaken him.

Abel fell into a daze after being knocked on the wall once again but still manage to shake the feeling off which surprises the old lady as she couldn't help but said.

"you are really strong for you to still be awake after that hit but it still won't change the fact that I am going to feed on your vital".

"like I am going to let you have your way" replies Abel as he continues to struggle.

"What you are doing is pointless kid so just give it up already" said the old lady before smacking him into the wall once more.

After being slammed into the wall for some time, Abel finally gives up on resisting which pleases the old lady.

"That's much better, I am already starving from all the fighting and you still don't want to quit shaking about" she said in relief before pulling Abel closer to her opening her mouth wide ready to bite on him.

Unknowing to her, Abel has already snapped out of the daze as he gripped the plank tightly while bending his time and just when the old lady was about to bite on his head, Abel suddenly pulled his head backward to avoid her fangs before swinging the plank with all the strength he could mutter as he smacks her on the face.

The old lady fell into a daze with her jaw being bent to the side. Taking this opportunity, Abel forcefully pull himself out of the leg that was holding him in place before dashing out of the building.
