was running! Just then a se vered arm plopped down to the street beside her. She stared at it in horror and then unable to stop herself she rolled onto her back to see what unholy monster had been unleashed upon the city.
    It was the wild man and he was coming for her!
    Bodies and parts of them lay everywhere. He was covered in blood and the sword in his hands ran red with it, even as the fire in his eyes said he thirsted for more. A shriek of fright erupted from the very core of her being at the sight of him approaching her.
    Blindly she turned over and started to scramble along the ground, but a grasp like iron seized her and held her in place. Pressure was applied to particular pressure points and in fear at what he was doing she tried to lunge away, but was hel plessly restrained still.
    “ Shhhhh!”
    Was that him trying to calm her, as he forced her to blackout? What kind of a sick monster was he? He most likely planned to rape her in her unconsciousness and then chop her up in pieces and throw her into his stewpot and he wanted her to be calm! She struggled, but it was no use, as the darkness closed in.
    “Oh God please have mercy!” She breathed out into the pavement before everything went dark.
     
    She went slack under my hands. Poor girl was petrified of me and looking around I had to admit I could understand why. I wiped my sword off on a dead body and re-sheathed it and then I turned her over.
    Her face now reflected the peace of unconsciousness and I had to admit that I had never seen anyone so captivating as she was. I glanced up at the sounds of shouts from up the street. Time to get her to safety. Possessively I swung her up into my arms. She was a little thing and much too thin from weeks of running and barely getting by.
    The hunters that had been brought in would be here soon. I tossed a little present on the ground for the dogs they would have with them. The dogs wouldn’t be a problem soon. I was going to need to move fast though, gently I swung her over my shoulder and I took off running, as the heavens opened up and dumped down rain, which helped to wash away the blood that I was covered in.

    The rain was a blessing, as well as the darkness it brought with it, which shadowed our movements and took the focus off of us. By my calculations I was roughly a mile from the lair I had carved out for myself in the rubble of the once proud city. The rain was cold and it wasn’t healthy for anyone to be out in, but I was grateful for it.
    I saw none of the beleaguered residents of the city on my sprint away from the scene of my latest bloody massacre. Up ahead of me were the high-rises. One in particular was the location of my lair in this city of cutthroats.
    The high-rise must’ve caught on fire at some point and from the ground floor up to roughly halfway up its height it was a charred ruin completely impassable, as the weight of the building had partially collapsed down onto the weakened burned out areas near the ground plain. It had been a daring feat to climb up the charred outside of it for a distance of twenty to thirty floors in the dark of the night. But the sanctuary that I had found had been worth it.
     
    The upper stories of the high-rise were virtually untouched by the scavengers, who had raped the city. It was as safe a spot as could be found in the city. There was even food, candy bars mostly. I reached the base and looked around in the onslaught of heavy rain, but nothing stirred. I tugged on an almost invisible strand of fishing line and a climbing rope fell down the outside of the building the several hundred feet needed to reach me. I hooked a foot in the loop at the end of the rope and gave the rope a sharp tug, which unseated the safety I had on a connected rope, which had a heavy weight attached to it via an elevator pulley at the top of an elevator shaft.
    Normally the ascent was faster, but with the extra weight of Asia it was more of a gradual rise up
