Chapter 2
Escape (continued)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sounds of the fight continued inside the inn as the companions crouched behind the row of bushes that lined the back of the inn.
"So you said Drakos was here? Disguised as a White Knight?" whispered Chazz, tightening his grip on his sword hilt.
"No," Willow whispered back. "The White Knights are real, but something else is following them, even though they don't know it."
"Well what--" began Chazz.
"SHUT UP!" whispered Tyron, as loudly as he dared. "It's Drakos; I can see him!"
"What's he doing?" whispered Willow, who couldn't see beyond Ace's head.
"He's looking around... Oh my Guthix, he's looking right at us! And..." his voice trailed off. There was no need to say any more; they could all hear the sound of Drakos's boots heading right toward them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They were here. He could feel it. Willow, her friends... And that cursed BOY were all here.
He started slowly walking toward them. He could tell exactly where they were. He could smell their fear.
He had them now.
*************************
A crash echoed from the bar, and Drakos suddenly snapped his head around to look.
"RUN!" yelled Tyron, grabbing Willow's hand and dragging her out of the bushes.
There was a moment of confusion as all the friends stood up to run and Willow gained her footing.
But the moment passed as suddenly as it had come, and Drakos looked back toward them just as they began to flee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With a roar, Drakos launched himself into the air, cursing the delay that had cost him those precious few seconds.
He soared in the air, eyes burning as he tried to locate Willow.But they were gone, vanished into the night.
They had escaped.
