The Night Angel: Chapter 4

"Kill or be killed. Hunt or be hunted. You are either a predator or a prey"

Madam E

Two days before the deadly day, and we haven't gotten any sleep.

Not just the five of us, but everyone was training seriously day and night. There were no more laughter and jokes.. Why would you laugh when you spend every minute thinking that you might end up dead in the next few days. Because the truth was that no matter how hard we all train, all of us still won't survive....some have to go.

After many hours of throwing daggers and shooting guns, I just sat under a palm tree watching Chelsea shoot her arrows. She has a great target and she's the best when it comes to using the arrows... and the fastest too.

"Have some water daggers"

I looked up and saw Henry standing beside me with a bottle of water. I didn't even notice him coming over....

"Thanks but I'm not thirsty" I replied, and he covered the bottle before sitting down beside me.

"You smell nice" I whispered, inhaling deeply and Henry chuckled.

"I smell like sweat"

"Exactly.....I love how you smell...sweaty and all. You smell like a mixture of honey and sweat, it's nice"

"Don't be weird Katie" Henry laughed and I shrugged, dragging my eyes back to Chelsea.

"She's getting better everyday" Henry said when he followed my gaze and I nodded.

We all were...

"Stacie too..."

I scoffed.

"Stacie was born to handle guns...that gehl can shoot down an airplane with a pistol" I murmur

"And you can bring a giant down with a single dagger." Henry said, making me turn to stare at his face.

"When was the last time you got a shave and a haircut?" I ask running my hands through his silky hair.

"Few weeks ago. I'm going to grow them out, what do u think"

"I love your beards..I don't know about the hair..u look better in your previous haircut"

"I look good anyway." he said with a smirk.

And then he smiled, wearing a serious expression.

"How do you think this is gonna end?"

"I have no idea Henry....I'm just trying my best to be positive. I don't know what it's gonna be like. We will try our best to survive...that's all I know."

I whisper, picking up a dagger and started drawing shapes on the sand.

"Daggers..." Henry called, holding my hand and I looked at him.

"I don't wanna lose you. I'm not going to" He whispered moving his face close to mine till his nose was almost touching mine and I could feel his warm breath on my face

"You won't .. and I'm not going to lose you too" I whispered back, touching his cheek with my palm and he shut his eyes looking seriously pained or maybe scared.

"Hey...Henry"

He opened his eyes and stared into mine... "Nothing will happen to me. Remember the plan? We will protect each other and we will make it through this"

"We don't even know how strong those soldiers will be"

"I don't care. One of them can't be stronger than the five of us. We are going to outsmart and win this Henry" I assured him and he nodded, bringing his palm to my cheeks and ran his thumb across my hips.

"I don't know what we could have done without you Daggers"

I opened my mouth to reply, but I couldn't get a word out as Henry's lips crushed down on mine...

I froze in shock because I totally wasn't expecting that. Then I closed my eyes as he nipped my lips open with the tip of this tongue, demanding to be let in.

I grabbed his shoulder and with a moan I kissed him back hungrily.

I've wanted this for a long time....since I was sixteen...since I started crushing on him. I craved and yearned for it every night and now it is happening.

His strong arms circled around my waist and the next moment I was straddling him...right there at the beach in front of everyone.. including Madam E's soldiers, but I didn't care.

I ran my fingers down across his jaw as his tongue entwined with mine in an erotic dance that had me pressing closer to him. Henry pressed his fingers tighter into my waist and I moaned again when I felt his hardness between my legs...

I didn't want this to stop..I want it to go on and on

The sounds of gunshots, clanging of swords all drowned away as I lost myself in this kiss...

"Damn dude...we are gonna die in a few days and here you are, busy locking your lips with a chic"

A voice said and I growled in frustration when Henry pulled away. He looked at me with lust filled eyes and a smirk

"Well you know what they say Joshua....life is short. You have to make the most of it and go after things that you want. Because you might never get another chance to." Henry replied, still looking into my eyes as he caressed my cheek with a finger.

I looked away shyly and stood up hastily, not missing the hard on.

Then I gave Joshua a hard glare when I faced him

"Learn to mind your business next time Josh" I said angrily and he raised his arms in mock defeat.

"Don't get all upset on me Katie...I'm sorry to spoil the moment, but I need to talk to your boyfriend here" He said smiling and I rolled my eyes before leaving them alone.

Boys....

"So...hm. kisses at the beach huh?"

Stacie asked later that night when we were all resting, and I was sharpening my dagger on my bed.

"What do you mean?". I asked with a shrug.

"Oh don't you give us that attitude madam" Chelsea said from Josie's bed which was beside mine. "We saw everything and it was quite a show"

Josie giggled into her palm and Chelsea waggled her brows .

"All that action.. and heat. Whoops'' Stacie said fanning herself with her hands and I laughed

"You all should stop"

"How was it?" Josie asked and I smiled

"It was amazing.... everything Imagined and more. And at that moment I just wanted more"

I explained and she nodded

"More as in the actual action? Sex?"

Chelsea asked

"Uhmm...yes, I guess."

Stacie clapped and Josie let out a sad smile

"You lucky human being" She murmured and Chelsea turned to her immediately.

"Lucky? You were getting some action before any of us Josie. Come on, all those joggling with Matthew in the bathroom"

Stacie and I gasped

"What?? Josie you and Matthew?"

"Duh..I mean have you seen Matthew and those and? U can't blame me for wanting a piece of that. Besides it was a one time something"

"More like a one month something " Chelsea said and I gasped...

Josie of all people

Suddenly the door to our cell opened and Henry came in with an unreadable expression.

"The soldiers are here." He said and we all got up immediately
