She held her blade and she smiled. She pressed the blunt side of her blade against his rough neck.

"Come on little girl!" he spoke again this time with blood spewing from his mouth, “Such a hunter as you, I mean for a woman…..”

Her temper rose, she knew he was taunting her and her blade pressed even more against his gullet. She looked up to Ekatran, who’s blade was still in Ranchard’s side. His face was as hard as stone and anger flared in his eyes. She looked to the other two behind Ekatran, they stood their watching the spectacle. Suddenly she felt a warm hand upon her face. It was Ranchards. It caressed her face slowly.

“A woman as you, so beautiful, so dangerous…”, his eyes rolled, but his hand stayed firm on her soft cheek. She pushed her dagger further so it cut his breathing. “….or are you too scared?” he gagged .

That was it, now he had done it. She pulled her dagger in one clean sweep across his neck. His hand fell and his body fell limp to the floor. Ekatran withdrew his sword. But she was not finished. She knelt beside him and continued to plunge her dagger into his body. Blood started to spray from everywhere. She was getting out of breath but she kept thrusting her dagger into his body. She did not care what the others thought, it gave her joy. Blood sprayed onto her face and she was covered in it. And finally as she drew her blade up high she stopped and dropped it. She looked into the eyes of the dead Ranchard and put her hand on his cold, bloody cheek.

“A man as you, so evil, so repulsive…” the others at them, two blood soaked bodies. But she did not care, she felt alive again. She brought her head close to his face. And then kissed his lifeless lips, she tasted the blood in her mouth and laughed, “Shame I wasn’t too scared…….” she picked her dagger up and stood up. Everything was covered in his blood and there was silence between the four.
