Lost Causes and Dead Ends

  • Chapter 6, Deal Braker

Lydia meets Gaston in the forest but things gets a little to close for comfort. Lydia quickly takes defensive monuvers but is it already too late?

When she got down to the Market it was still daylight, the sun was just getting ready to hide behind the mountains. She was starved she hadn't eaten since breakfast. She stopped in and got a quick snack of Oreos and a Coke. As she headed to the forest she saw Morgan and George come in. She thought to herself "Have I made the right choice?" She shook her head to get the thought out of her mind.
It was dark inside the forest and the moon peaked out from the canopy of the trees. She had a shaky feeling about this something was wrong. She was deep into the forest and still no sign of Gaston. A feeling of terror came over her. All too many memories were coming back to her at one time. Her head was spinning and her head was throbbing in pain. That's when she realized Gaston was here. She spun around and there she stood face to face with Gaston. Too close for her comfort she stepped back. Gaston grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer.
She quickly recited a spell, it slipped from her lips like a greased eel. A small burst of light appeared and Gaston let go and screamed in pain covering his face.
"Why you slippery little witch! Do you not remember our agreement?" hissed Gaston still recovering from the blast. "You fool!"
She had her dagger drawn from her boot she held it against her forearm in a defensive position. It would take her only a split second to take it out of the defensive position and into the center of his heart. "I forgot nothing the agreement was we were going to make plan." She said coldly.
"I said nothing of the sort," he snapped "we agreed to meet."
"Yeah and here we are meeting. So now what?" she said
"Well would you like to know what power feels like?"
"What kind of power?" she said
"You know what I want." He said
"I know, but if you think your going to get away with it your even more nuts then I thought." She replied coldly.
"Now why don't you drop that little toy your holding there is no need for that here." He said.
She let the dagger fall from her hand and it fell beside her. He came over and bent down to pick up the dagger. As he reached for the dagger she quickly stepped on his hand driving her heal into the palm of his hand. You could hear his bones crack and snap as she put more pressure on his hand. Quickly with his other hand he grabbed the dagger and dug it into the calf of her leg. She immediately took her heal off of his hand and fell to the ground. Gaston too his uninjured hand and put it around her neck strangling her.
"Nice try pretty but next time you wont be so lucky. The stakes we agreed on are FINAL! I would not try to pull such a foolish stunt next time for it may be the last thing you ever do." He said with a firm grip on her wind pipe.
