short excerpt from "Escaping Wastelands "

Post by esercito sconfitto »

Evie, crouching low to the ground, began to sneak up behind the lone female Blighter. She flipped open her butterfly knife. Leaping to her feet and covering the woman's mouth with her hand, she drove the knife into the back of her neck. Blood poured down, the woman gurgling as she sank to her knees. Evie dragged the body into a bush. She closed the woman's eyes, quickly wiping the blood off her blade. Flipping it closed, she stripped the woman of her clothing.

Evie peeled off her own clothes, quickly putting on the Blighter uniform. She stuffed her clothes and knife into her satchel, slipping out of the bushes, and just in time. She placed the hat on her head right as another Blighter rounded the corner.

"Oi, woman. You're the one I'm taking to the carriage, right?"

Evie nodded. "Yes, that would be me."

The man squinted his eyes, observing her. "You know, you look familiar..." She stiffened nervously. With her hair completely covered by the hat and the fact that she wasn't as involved with the gangs as Jacob was, she had been hoping no one would recognize her as one of the leaders of the Rooks. To her relief, the man shook his head. "I'm just imagining things. C'mon, now."
