Chapter 4: Run run run

30 - Minutes prior

Humming a little melody Avantus walked his way through the halls coming down from the top of this structure. He was having a great day, that monstrosity was finally born so they wouldn't have to worry about and energy problems anytime soon. Plus he was the one originally in charge of Samira so he pretty much guaranteed his election to the council after this. Finally he wouldn't have to be looked down upon by everyone as being a mere guardian to the positions of pillars, soon hell be able to order those bastards around however he wants. 

Although that little girl gets on my nerves always looking at me with such apparent disgust in her eyes, I'll be the gracious person I am and forgive her insolence of forgetting her rightful place below my feet groveling to me, I'll even go so far as to not kill that little pretty boy of a husband she has. I really am such a magnanimous soul.  

He walks down the corridors with an excitement slowly building in his emotions. Normally he should have noticed such a thing, but with thoughts about a future he's been dreaming about for 100's of years right in reach, he could not help but lose himself and his better judgement. This continued for a few more minutes until he heard and explosion from all over the building. Fury, an absolute fury suddenly takes over his mind at the idea of someone trying to ruin everything he has been working up too.

The life he desires and deserves right in reach now is a little farther away and he knows they had to be targeting him specifically. Those weak little vermin always whispering about him out of their pathetic jealousy. "How dare they, How dare they! HOW DARE THEY! FUCKKKK!" losing himself in his newfound rage he reacted much much later than he should have. After a few seconds he calmed himself just enough to call the chief of security for this part of the building.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?! You better have an explanation for this shit" he roared into the communication device, after a few seconds of silence and his irritaion beginning to bubble up once again the chief finally responded "I'm sorry sir, we're trying to figure it out but it seems like Samira and the Creature escape somehow" his voice was staid and steady, although he held fear for Avantus it did not change his belief of being absolutely professional when it comes to his work. 

Avantus once again lost in his thoughts, his mind twisting and turning between rage and condescension at the escape attempt. He quickly thought of a way to turn this around for himself so he doesn't lose his chance at the council. Remembering the useless chief of security "If you don't want to lose your life you better tell me where she escaped too fast" after that he cut off the connection so he could plan out his next course of actions better without so much distractions. 

He realized that Samira trying to escape doesn't matter too much as long as he can get the little monster. In fact he can turn this into a show of how good he is by rooting out that she was a traitor. If he does that then he can even capture he as a prisoner, he can easily get away with putting a slave seal on her and her husband. Glee enraptured his mind, he has been wanting samira to submit to him for years but she has always managed to escape his grasp at every turn. From the first day she joined to ranking at the 100th place till she rose to the 88th and now during the pregnancy carrying the creature. At every single turn she's always looked down on him, no matter how weak she was compared to Avantus she always acted defiant, not even bothering to hide her feelings that she was looking upon filth whenever she saw him a clearly superior existence.

Finally I can break her down, I can finally make her into a toy after all this time. Today really can't get any better than this. His communicator buzzed to life and he got to hear what he was waiting for "Samira and Lucious escaped from the 5th floor on the east side. As far as we can tell they're making a relatively straight shot towards the water, I'm not sure if they will change directions in the jungle or not but that's at least their immediate directions" not even bothering to respond properly I just hum in affirmation before quickly getting to the room and following her traces.

Shooting through the forest I can easily tell that they are trying to cover their tracks but no matter how much they try they can't escape my sights. These little beast that keep trying to stand in my way can't even slow me down as I slice them in half with every swing. I don't even have to break my stride, these dumb beast think they're qualified to stand up to me, that's why they are nothing more that beasts we make guard our coasts. Normally I would be annoyed by such things but this idiot is trying to escape with her useless husband. How pathetic, I can just tell how slowly they are moving through the jungle, they might as well be walking.

After nearly 25 minutes of jogging through the jungle slowly catching up on them like a predator hunting it prey, he sees them. Going just a slow as he thought. Samira running behind with one of her blades already drawn. Well mothers of those cursed things always get a little boost in strength so let me test her. With that thought done he raised his spear aiming straight at the neck of Lucious and threw. As he released his hold on the spear it launched immediately past the sound barrier but no sonic boom could be heard or felt as the inscriptions in the spear glowed very briefly, allowing it to fly straight at Lucious with him having any idea about death looming.

Just as the spear was about to pass over Samira's head and keep going she suddenly turned and jumped up. In one fluid motion she swung her blade down, catching the side spear on the short knife on the back of the sword. The moment the blade was caught she used all of her strength to launch the spear off too the side. With the rebound of the strike she stopped her turn and landed staring straight at Avantus.
