Chapter 10

Rin listened to the prisoners talking with the stranger. She wondered who the man was. He obviously had a considerable amount of fighting experience to have bested her and, she assumed, taken out Haze and the rest of his band. He looked like he’d been through hell, his face covered with dried blood, along with numerous sword wounds and shredded, bloodstained clothes. Regardless of all that, he didn’t seem to have sustained any major damage.

He’s like me, she thought. Maybe an older combat model, but obviously still quite formidable, especially with his fighting skills.

She contemplated what her chances were going to be as a prisoner, and decided she didn’t like them. The people at the other Colony would want to exact some measure of revenge, she knew. And it appeared that she had the dubious distinction of being the only member of Haze’s band to be taken alive. No, things wouldn’t turn out well for her, she decided, even though she had been an unwilling participant.

Rin had no taste for the slaughter, beatings, and rapes the others had inflicted upon the colonists. If it hadn’t been for her directives, she might have even put a stop to it. But as it was, she could do nothing but watch in distaste and keep to herself, as she usually did.

I wonder if he took the token from Haze? I need to find it before he does, she thought. She didn’t know if the man would know what it was or how to use it. But she did know that she needed to try to make a break for it before she was imprisoned, because then her odds would be a whole lot worse.
