Neiko and Quickstrike woke up the next morning refreshed. Waving and thanking Genghis Khan, they walked down the road toward Samoan territory. “How are you feeling about all we talked about last night? Still pessimistic?” asked Quickstrike.

“No. I feel better knowing who I’m dealing with, and nothing will take me by surprise—” suddenly a branch snapped and Skull Bearers on horses ran out from the side. “Run!” Neiko screamed as she saw more coming from behind. They ran about ten feet as more came in front and from the other side, closing them in.

“Oh great, we’re trapped! We can kill three, but not thirty!” Quickstrike whimpered.

“Try seventy!” Neiko corrected.

“How can you count that fast?”

“Believe me—lucky guess. I’ve been in situations like this, but this time the Seven Tribes aren’t here to save me!”

The lieutenant rode up. “That’s them! Capture them!” he commanded. They closed in the circle as Neiko drew her sword and tomahawk; Quickstrike got his tail ready to spray, and they got close to each other. Twenty jumped off their horses, drew their weapons, and walked toward them while the other fifty kept them surrounded, not letting them escape.

Neiko let loose a shrill war call as she brandished her weapons. Neiko struck at the nearest Skull Bearer with her tomahawk, but he fended off the attack with his shield. One grabbed her from behind and pulled her arms behind her back, while two more disarmed her . She struggled, but the other two came and helped hold her, while a fourth came with a rope and gag. First he tied her hands behind her back, then tied her arms down and gagged her. She fell to the ground, and they rushed to help trap Quickstrike.

They surrounded him, and he hissed at them and tried to spray several, but they ducked behind their shields. He lunged at others trying to injure them with his powerful claws as he struck with his tail; he fought like an angry scorpion. Several came from behind hitting him with the butts of their spears and pikes. He hissed angrily, and he tried to shake them off by slapping with his tail; he tripped one, and they closed in and started to beat him. They knocked him senseless, yet they kept pounding him.

“No! Don’t kill him! The master wants him alive too. Tie him down in the wagon and put a net over him,” commanded the captain. He got off his horse and walked over to Neiko strutting. “Not so tough are we?” he sniggered. Neiko narrowed her eyes at him and wriggled trying to loosen the ropes. “The master’s been expecting you, and he’ll be so glad to see you. I know he has something special planned just for you,” he said proudly. Neiko’s eyes widened, she shook her head, and gave horrified mumbles. “Oh, don’t worry, he won’t kill you—just your friend. He’ll be the last person you’ll ever see,” he laughed cruelly.
