Chapter 0319
My eyes found Gavin who wasn’t 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.
“What’s the plan?” Tabby asked, staring down at the ground. There were a few others who were trying to climb the tree as well, they weren’t 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 wasn’t 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 wouldn’t 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.
“How’s 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. “I’m 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 didn’t 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, we’d 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.

“I don’t 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 wasn’t fast enough and I knew it the second we started moving
I didn’t 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 Tabby’s fall. She landed on top of me and immediately rolled off as pain shot through my body
It wasn’t from the fall though; it was from an arrow that shot me in the back the second I landed on the ground.
