Chapter 319
My eyes found Gavin who wasnt watching the fight with everyone else , he was watching me .
His eyes remained on mine and for a moment , I saw a flicker of worry in them .
Whats the plan ? Tabby asked , staring down at the ground .
There were a few others who were trying to climb the tree as well , they werent as fast though , so I knew I had a bit of time to come up with something With a pounding heart , I turned to her , glancing at her weapon .
How many arrows do you have left ? I asked .
About 3.
she told me .
I wasnt able to collect the ones I used I nodded and stared down at the arena .
There were a few really strong men who were fighting effortlessly , and I knew if I were to fight them one on one , I wouldnt stand much of a chance .
I was a skilled fighter , but I was aware that others were better than me and stronger .
If I wanted to make it out of here on top , I would need to eliminate those men .
Hows your aim ? I asked her .
Better than most , she told me proudly .
I nodded as I grabbed the zipline handles .
See those men over there , I asked , pointing at the two who were ganging up on another woman who was struggling to maintain her stance .
Tabby nodded .
Aim for them , I told her .
Im going to aim for those guys over there , I said , pointing at another set of men who were fighting with one another .
She looked uncertain as she nibbled on her lower lip .
The ones who had followed us were almost at the top of the tree .
We didnt have time to debate this any further .
Grab my waist , I ordered loudly.
Without hesitation , she grabbed a hold of my waist .
I jumped and allowed the zipline to take us through the air .
Tabby grabbed her bow and arrow while keeping a tight hold on me and she aimed for the men I told her to aim for .
She released the arrow , and it flew into the air , piercing one of the guys in the back of the shoulder , careful not to hit his heart .
He went down in an instant and she cheered at the sight .
She prepared another arrow as I readied one of my knives .
I whipped the blade at the first guy who shot me with an arrow , and it pierced him in the arm , disarming him and injuring him in the same instant .
He let out a howl and fell to the ground .
Tabby managed to shoot another man and then prepared her last arrow in the same instant .
She really was good at alming , wed have to share strategies when this whole thing was over .
I threw another knife and pierced someone in the lower back , making their back arch and then fall The crowd oofed at the sight .
Il to the ground .
Chapter 319
I dont know if I can hold on much longer ! Tabby said , fear is evident in her tone .
Her hand was startling to loosen around my waist , and I knew she was struggling .
We were only halfway to the other side .
This zipline wasnt fast enough and I knew it the second we started moving I didnt give her a chance to prepare .
I released my hold on the handles and we both fell through the sky .
Her screams pierced the arena and silenced the crowd .
The ground approached fast , and I landed with a loud thud , trying to cushion Tabbys fall .
She landed on top of me and immediately rolled off as pain shot through my body It wasnt from the fall though ; it was from an arrow that shot me in the back the second I landed on the ground .
