| The Hunt Begins

Protect it, your death is also the million's

It's simply appropriate to sigh at that moment, as the dark void of the vast galaxy eats her down into the dark abyss. The cosmos displays itself like a spilled watercolor with remnants of blinking wishes. One of which failed to grant her's

It's a view that never fails to follow her, spreading an emotive within her of sudden intolerance. She turns around and faces the blue planet she is falling into, it wasn't long before she realizes that she is falling way slower than she thought.

She looked back to all that had happened to her and fluttered her eyes shut as she rubs the stone buried in her stomach. Vibrating in pain as if a knife has been dug through her. If the stone she bare in her stomach wasn't such a burden, then she could've lived a life quite like any other teenagers out there at the age of fifteen. what?-like, eating snails? Planting bombs and searching bones?

She chuckled to her self, how could she even have a clue. She's always been the girl who's hunted for almost her entire existence. Only for the sake of a tedious object inter inside her

A masculine arm grabs and yanks her into a smaller ship, immediately slamming her into the ground. With two hands hammering her neck down with great force, the other soldier heaved her hands together behind her back and locks a chain unto it. Now they need to drive this vehicle into the mother ship. They back away and pushed her into a corner, aiming huge smoking guns into her head

Ivo snickered, she knows damn well those men won't dare to harm her, it is after all the King's order.

Unlike other prisoners that was locked in the Labyrinth, she knew exactly what the orders were and how death would be the result if the ship reaches the end of their destination. That's why she was desperate to escape that hell of a prison, nobody expected her to know such information and she will use it to her advantage

But of course, if these men wouldn't have dragged her into this ship she would've had fallen to her death. The situation is much better if she isn't desperate to flee... but she is.

With her hand locked behind her back, she head-butted the man beside her, taking his gun from behind. The head leader made the first decision to throw his gun away and tackle her, using his weight to keep Ivo down. It was stupid I know, it's like the guns are just there for display but what can they do? I have the upper hand here.

Ivo thrust her knee to his stomach and when it barely affects him, she strikes five more in his ribs making him bend in pain, she grabbed unto his arms and twisted it until a crack emitted from his bones.

The man screams in the jolting pain as others charges towards her and she dodges each and every one of them, breaking no sweat. Ivo hops and got her hand across her feet mid-air, giving her the ability to shoot her enemy

But she chooses not to...

In a glance, Ivo drops the gun and instead unlocks the door behind them, it sucks the army out of the ship instantaneously. Won't they die either way? Ivo rubbed the back of her neck to another irresponsible decision, no one was supposed to die today.

She decided to throw a full package of parachutes in the opening of the ship, just in case, it could save a couple of lives, hopefully, all of their lives.

After figuring out that the door to the pilot's room was locked, she strikes it with a firm kick. The pilot shots his head back from the noise and it seems that he had no idea what had happened outside his chamber

"W-what the-"

She thrust her hand to his neck, letting him fell unconscious to his seat. The ship immediately plummets, throwing Ivo into the glass window, almost breaking it but the crack would spread the longer she stays

She tries to reach for the wheel but the gravity was forcing her to remain from the glass window as the crack would grow even worse. It is difficult to even lift a finger but if she were to stay on that spot any longer, there's no doubt that she would be separated from the ship then that would really be her death fall.

maybe she needs a little jump, if she could reach the wheel before breaking the glass then she would call it a success. With an unstable breath, she took the risk, the glass burst just in time she grabbed the wheel.

Shocking even to her self, she didn't really think she would make it. Finally, she built up the courage to pushed herself into the pilot seat and looked into the wide-open window. A gasp left her lips when she saw the ground to be only a few meters away from her

She pulled the wheel before they could hit any buildings in the City but it still continues to speed downward, and Ivo, assuming to have no idea how to work a single thing about this ship, just pushed every button seemed logical to save her life at that moment. The worst part is that it actually worked, the ship carefully landed in a forest not too far away from the city. She doesn't know how but if she could live a couple more minutes then she'll take her chances

With a shrug, Ivo left the ship with scrapes and cuts. Her whole body was trembling from the incident, although, she should be used to this by now. She basically had no proper emotions to express, it was just death and... Death.

Not far from behind her, she thought she could hear a small sound beeping from the ship, and almost instantly the ship blew up to little pieces, some of the pilot's blood splattered all over her face.

"What..."

She tightened her fist and sighed bitterly

"If I had only known that the ship would explode, I could've at least drag the man out with me" it's disappointing to her self knowing she kept a covenant that no one was supposed to die today.

Still, she looked at her marked limbs that lead to the stone in her stomach, this is where she blames it all.

The sound of the roaring engines of the ships that gathered from behind her, let her know that she turns out to have more enthusiasts than she thought. Her eyes drop down lazily and gave a sluggish sigh, nobody told her that the chase was still on.
