Maybe it was a chance to start a new life. Life in one place, but not less interesting and not deprived of freedom? No... He doesn't want it, but he doesn't want to go back to his previous life either. So he'd rather be a loner. His whole life is still ahead of him, and he needs to weigh everything up. He has to determine what he will do.
- Look how beautiful she is, - Obi heard and took a more comfortable position to observe. Two men were sitting on a tree, looking out from behind the bushes. Didn't he notice how they got here?
- Well, who was their target? - Obi thought about it and took a look at the clearing. It was that girl! So he had a chance to pay her back.
The guys started gesticulating obviously not to each other. Obi looked closely: on the trees on the other side of the clearing there were a few more bandits sitting on the trees.
- Will I be able to handle them all?
Obi was one of the best mercenaries, but he wasn't all-powerful. It was urgent to think about it, because the hiding in the trees were already preparing to attack.
Obi jumped silently to the ground for the two bandits. One of them turned around and Obi hit him in the temple. He did the same to the other gangster. The rest of the gang didn't notice anything that was on his arm. It will be unexpected!
Obi climbed up the tree again and moved closer to the girl. She looked back.
- She feels their presence, - thought the mercenary and began to observe the bandits' actions. They came down to the ground and started approaching the red hair.
- It's mean, - Obi thought evil. - Proud, smug fools!
His rules were different: you have to show yourself only if it corresponds to the plan, and the geeks attacking the girl, and there was no planned order of action at all.
- It's worse for them, - Obi concluded, and threw a dagger at the bandit who came close to the redhead. Only a few centimetres remained between his face and the girl's face, but Obi was sure he wouldn't hurt her. In general, he wasn't just going to distract the bandit.
It all happened as planned: the dagger stuck into the bark of the tree, leaving a red scratch on his nose. The cut immediately began to bleed, and the bandit growled fiercely and turned to the direction from which the dagger came.
- What are you doing?!
- I can ask you the same thing.
Obi, without turning his head, looked at the grass. The admiration and surprise she felt could not be described. Obi unwittingly admired the girl's green eyes. He had seen so much, but for something so enchanting to him - every movement, eye, hair - not yet, it hadn't happened.
The guy jumped off a branch he was already comfortable with. He got up a few meters from the gang and did not hurry to attack. He waited for the angry bandits to take the first step themselves - such unassembled fools would obviously have a mistake. It is not worth guessing.
- You shouldn't have done all this, you jerk.
After these words of the savage girl seems to be afraid. Well, now he has to prove that he is not weak and that she should not worry about such trifles. It's nothing to him, but the girl... She's used to walking alone in the woods, and she can be grabbed more than once...
