"I was hoping you’d say that This is gonna takeWillia a while Not here Not with Tink so close "New plan You two stay here until Williaet the Rainbow Rejects out of the area"
He didn’t wait for their reply And he wasn’t going to waste ti, he stood and ju on his feet Impact split the bones in his shins, but he didn’t care, his adrenaline too high to let hihtened
The boys glanced up The moment they spotted him, they leaped to their feet But they didn’t run
"Must admit, I expected you sooner," Red said, unfazed
"This is our territory," Black said "You should have stayed away"
Green rubbed his hands together with glee
"Tink is mine, and I will never share her"
Kane and the Rainbow Rejects launched toward each other,in thethe four of theo with a dagger and an ax, hacking at his opponents The htened, slashed at hi claws Maybe they made contact Maybe they didn’t Still he felt only the fiery edges of his rage and determination
He looked at Red, smiled--but launched the ax at Black
Black wasn’t prepared, and had no ti his windpipe He hit the ground, and stayed down
Red roared, a testae Green bared his teeth in a fearsoer, and attacked with , slashing again, cutting the pair to ribbons
"Kill you," Red snarled, going low and knocking Kane’s ankles together
He hit the ground, but rolled back to a stand before either male could pin him
Silent, he stalked forward and hit at the the pair backward But Green worked his way behind hi a hole in the back of his skull with the slam of his fist

Green stayed down, too
Red jumped on Kane’s back, wrapped his arms around his neck, and tried to do the same to him, exactly as Kane had hoped He rolled into the uy, as if they were hugging He wasted no tiht into a kidney
Grunting, the warrior stuer and cut into thehim to his knees Then, determined to end this once and for all, Kane kicked hi back He grabbed two ht, shoved the blades into his shoulders, pinning him down
Disaster shrieked inside his head, and a second later, a rock fell from the cliff and careened toward Kane He darted out of the way a split second before contact Red wasn’t so lucky
The black ed, desperate, as he stu he were anywhere but here, his panic returning now that the fighting was done He needed to leave Had to leave Now Where was Tink? He needed to grab her and get her out of this hellhole First, though, he probably needed to breathe Why couldn’t he breathe?
As he patted at his throat, finding no external obstruction, he spotted Lucien, Anya, Willia in front of the fire He stopped Tink’s black hair was brushed to a glossy shine, her skin scrubbed clean, and her clothes in perfect condition She was safe Relief and joy intered to chase away the worst of his panic, opening his lungs and allowing hien
Williaround "They’re not dead Only a beheading will kill the to deliver the final blow
"Don’t," Williaed my mind They’ve learned their lesson They’ll never approach your woain I’ll make sure of it"
Very well Kane didn’t need to see them dead--he just needed the reassurance that hisher hands against her thighs Nervous? Or frightened of him? He was covered in blood, after all
"Kane," she said
He took a step toward her "You’re free That was fast"
