Chapter 5

“I would not do that if I were you,” he warned.

Maddie mentally kicked herself. She had been so sure of herself that she had let down her guard.

“Well, then, what would you have me do?” she asked sarcastically.

“Stepping away would be a good start.”

“Is that right?” she asked. She knew she had one chance to get away, and she would need the element of surprise. She also knew to do the opposite of what he expected, and that would be to turn and kick. With that in mind, she dropped to the ground and using her leg strength, she shot up from her lowered position and landed two crushing blows on her enemy’s knees. They immediately brought him down.

Next, she rolled to the right, toward the one she had planned to chokehold, grabbed him, and did just that. She rendered him unconscious in seconds. She knew her time was running out. Either she had to escape or complete her mission, but did she have enough time for completion?

One thing Maddie excelled at was hand-to-hand combat. She wasn’t as strong as her male counterparts, but she was wily, agile, and fast—extremely fast. Her confidence level was high and she knew she could most likely finagle a way to succeed. She made the decision to go for it.

She scanned the camp for some rope or a similar item that she could use to bind them. When she found what she needed, she grabbed the two men and bound their ankles and wrists. Then she found some rags and gagged them. She went back to her first victim and found him regaining consciousness. She quickly bound and gagged him as well.

She began to explore the region around the camp to see if she could discover the location of the weapons while she waited for enemy number four. Maddie was positive she was close, but she couldn’t figure out where they were.

She finally heard the fourth enemy making his return to camp. She sat in the brush and was surprised to see Ondine walk in. Oh, great, Maddie thought. Just what I need.

Ondine had continued to plague her ever since she arrived at the Academy. Maddie had tried everything she could to get Ondine to stop, but nothing worked. After this, Ondine would never let up on her.

“Stop where you are, put your hands in the air, and get down on your knees,” Maddie ordered.

Ondine actually followed Maddie’s commands. Maddie did a quick search and found her communicator. She was carrying no weapons, other than a dagger, which Maddie confiscated.

“I promise you, you will live to regret this,” Ondine warned.

“Are you kidding me? Really, Ondine, what would you have me do? Walk away from here and leave you? Seriously, get real. This isn’t some game we’re playing. I, like you, have an intense desire to graduate as a Guardian, and this will put me one step closer. One other thing, before I gag you, do you care to disclose the locations of your weapons?” Maddie took a stab, knowing Ondine wouldn’t oblige.
