Act of vengeance
Part 1
Liz stepped carefully out of the woods in a crouch. She was taking great pains not to be prematurely spotted. The estate lay before her and she knew her only chance of extracting vengeance in broad daylight was to get in stealthily. The thought of vengeance fired her up and any last doubts where instantly swept away. Vengeance on the team of girl assassins who had trained her and then betrayed her to be killed during her last assignment, but most of all vengeance upon Ashley, their leader and her one time lover who sold her out for a higher fee. Liz closed her eyes and pictured Ashley in long and painful death throes. The thought fired her up even more and she sensed she was getting wet. She opened her eyes and shook her head sending the images away as she focused on the job at hand her trained killer professionalism taking over.
Slowly she approached the back of the secluded estate. It was easy for her to avoid all the alarms, as she knew the area like the back of her hand, still she was careful. It took her a full three hours to reach the outer back wall. By now the noon summer sun was blazing and Liz was sweating profusely even dressed in only tight bicycle shorts and a Lycra top, but she knew the sun was also warming the sentries…and they soon would be half dosing and less alert.
Slowly she approached the back gate. As usually a single person only guarded it… . Liz smiled as she made out the familiar outline of Tonya. The girl was big at 5’8” and 130 lbs, but she had been one of those actively involved in harassing Liz during basic training and it was an added bonus for her to be able to start the massacre with Tonya. Besides Tonya was a very able fighter and Liz figured it would be better to take her out first while she was still fresh. Liz approached a little closer while preparing her throwing knives… She could now watch every detail of Tonya’s body, from concealment. Tonya wore a pair of army pants and a white bikini top flaunting her well muscled body for all to see. As usual she was overconfident, gazing of into the distance somewhere, her Ak 47 rifle abandoned, lying against the wall beside her…Liz smiled… so much the better. She got up and walked towards the big girl. Then at 20 paces she stopped and hummed, knives at the ready. She knew this was a silly risk to take but she needed to have a look at the bitch’s eyes when she died. Tonya whirled around with amazing agility for a girl of her size but at realizing who was standing before her she was stunned for a few seconds and that was all the time Liz ever needed. As Tonya’s eyes flew wide open in disbelieving recognition Liz threw her knife expertly. It made a whistling sound as the razor sharp steel cut through the air and embedded itself right under Tonya’s left breast with a muffled wet thud. Tonya’s eyes went even wider as surprise gave its way to pain on her face and bloody froth exited her mouth. She bent her head and stared unbelieving at the knife in her chest then letting out a prolonged sigh she collapsed to her knees and flopped on limp on her back. Her legs and her left hand twitched a couple of times and she was still. Cautiously Liz walked to her. She looked at her for a while but could not see any signs of breathing so she bend and extracted her knife and raised it preparing to slit her throat when she heard soft footsteps coming that way. Quickly she reached under Tanya’s arms and picked her upper body up dragging her to the ditch behind the guardhouse. The limp girl was heavy but Liz was well trained and managed to get the corpse into the ditch quickly and return to hide next to the gate.
The gate swung slowly out and the tall and slim Sarah stepped out of it. Her long straight blond hair was caught up in a ponytail and she was smiling as she walked in the noon sun. She was wearing a short pair of army shorts and was topless in the heat. Still she was armed with another AK and that made her dangerous for Liz. Liz circled around the guardhouse quietly as a cat and came out behind Sarah’s back. With one agile stride she was already putting an arm around Sarah’s throat while pushing her knee into the other girls back flexing her body backwards. Sarah’s respond was immediate. Ignoring pain and surprise she hit backwards with the butt of her gun delivering a glancing blow to Liz’s hip, not enough for any serious wound but enough to cut off the downward stroke of Liz's knife. Liz flinched in pain but did not let go of Sarah’s throat though her knife harmlessly sliced Sarah’s shoulder instead of delivering a fatal blow to her neck. Now it was time for Sarah to scream in pain as the blade opened the skin of her left shoulder. Still she managed to drop her weapon and extend her hands back over her head and grab at Liz. With all the might she could muster she bent suddenly forward, picking Liz up as she went and throwing her over her head to the ground. Liz hit the ground hard and the air left her body with a loud whoosh, yet she managed to ignore the pain as she rolled back to her feet in time to see Sarah bending to reach for her gun. Immediately Liz sprang for Sarah tackling her in the small of her back as they both fell to the ground. Both women grunted with exertion as they fought for control, grabbing and hitting each other, twisting on the ground, then all of a sudden Liz found an opening and rammed her dagger into Sarah’s lower belly, twisting it as it went in. Sarah moaned like a wounded animal as the pain and shock paralyzed her body, loosening her grip on Liz and finally rolling onto her back. She clutched her bleeding wound making soft hurt whimpering noises as Liz prepared to strike again She mumbled –“no please nooo”- and seeing the determination on Liz’s face she wet her shorts with a long stream of urine. With an unopposed swift stroke Liz slit the wounded girls throat. Sarah’s mouth opened wide as she tried in terror to draw a breath that just wouldn’t come, then her lungs filled with blood. She gurgled pathetically, her body spasmed and she died, eyes wide in a horror filled stare, tongue hanging out the corner of her mouth. Liz remained in a crouch for a few seconds longer inspecting the corpse then slowly got up and inspected herself for wounds but found none that were serious. Her top was torn in pieces so she took the remaining tatters of, so they wouldn’t bother her later on, and topless she picked up Sarah’s rifle, her knives and cautiously crossed to the inner yard of the estate.
