CHAPTER ELEVEN

“Who you calling a kid?” Laurel screamed as she lashed her rope at an attacker.

The flint at the end found his jugular. He gripped his throat, uselessly trying to keep his lifeblood inside his body. She spun and another was on her, too close for her rope blade. The woman swung a sloppy right at her, and Laurel pivoted a second too slow. The roundhouse grazed off her chin.

“You skeezy wench,” she said, rubbing the spot as she circled around the roamer.

“Gonna teach you how a grown woman fights. Too bad you’ll be too dead to use it,” the large woman laughed.

“Not sure what ‘too dead’ means, but bring it.”

The woman pulled a sword and lunged, missing to the left, and then lunged again. This time, Laurel stepped to the right and grabbed the woman’s arm. She pulled hard, letting the woman’s momentum carry her straight into Dardanus who finished her off with a flick of his bola.

“If that’s how a grown woman fights, then I’m happy to remain young.” Laurel bowed low. “Thank you for the assist, fine Baseeki.”

He grinned and gave an awkward bow in return.

“Shit! Look out.” Laurel pointed behind him.

Dardanus spun, finding no one there.

“You are so gullible!” Laurel yelled and raced back into battle.

Three of the roamers cut through the melee, their eyes on Laurel.

“Shit, buddy, I can’t take them all,” she said.

Without another word, Devin shot out of her cloak and hit the ground in a full sprint. Leaping, the squirrel hit the one in the middle in the groin, bending him in half before scurrying up his back, biting and scratching all the way. The man swatted at the fat squirrel, but she was way too fast.

“One down,” Laurel laughed. “Guess I have the two of you.”

The men looked at each other and grinned. A lifetime on the road had given them the opportunity to put plenty of notches on their belts. A girl with a squirrel wasn’t going to best them.

At once, they charged, short swords drawn.

Laurel grabbed a low-hanging limb. Her eyes flashed green, and the tree pulled her ten feet into the air as they passed under. She dropped with a shout, driving her dagger into the back of one of the men.

The other grabbed her by the cloak as she withdrew the knife. “Time to say goodnight, sweetheart,” he whispered into her ear.

“Goodnight, sweetheart,” Aysa cried as she plowed into him shoulder first.

Instinctually, the man dropped Laurel and spun to face his attacker. “Ah, the one-armed bandit. It’s not even fair.”

“You’re right,” Aysa replied. “This will be all too easy. I can tie my good arm behind my back if you think it will help.”

His grin disappeared, and he rushed her wildly.

Laurel watched in awe at the girl’s skill with her bola. She had seen the Baseeki take down targets from a distance, but up close they were just as deadly. Aysa held one half of the bola in her massive hand, and spun the other side in a criss crossing pattern in front of her.
