Chapter 4. Too close to breathe. Part V.

Nessa got up from the grass and bowed in front of Charles' grave, she turned around and walked away. She turned her head once or twice having a feeling that somebody was watching her, but shrugged as she saw and felt nothing around her.

Her mobile phone rang suddenly, she cursed as she tried to get it as fast as possible.

Yevgeny whispered a spell trying to slow down his enemy to give him a chance to recover slightly. He looked around for his weapon but didn't see it around him, he was bleeding from his side and breathing heavily.

The man walked toward Yevgeny slowly, weapon in hand.

-"You can give up you know? you have got nothing against me..." The man said chuckling.

Yevgeny closed his eyes and casted a spell to hide from the man, quietly hoping he would gather enough energy to keep fighting.


Nessa ran through the streets calling Yevgeny on her mind, receiving no replies. Suddenly a hand grabbed her by the arm, as it did she turned around getting out her dagger and put it at her grabber's neck, making no harm, but in form of a threat.

-"Careful with that..." Witold said softly not even flinching at the dagger pressed on his throat.

-"Witek...(she said putting down the dagger) you should know better than to ambush me like that" she said making her dagger disappearing.

-"What do you think you are doing Nessa?"

-"I was called to help Yev..."

-"You are in no condition to help him at the moment, you know that..."

-"If i was called, it is because I am...so let me go..."

-"Nessa I don't think you should go...I..."

-"Witek there is no time for this...let me go!" She said casting a spell and disappearing from his side. Witold stodd looking dumbfounded at the place where she stood. He cursed and ran away.


The sound of sword clashing could be heard, Yevgeny yelled as he fought, his wound was getting worse by the second, loosing a lot of blood, but he fought with all his might. The man hurt badly as well, but kept fighting Yevgeny.

On the distance, Yevgeny could feel a distinct energy, and heard a spell being casted. Suddenly the man was on the floor in pain, struggling to get up.

-"I thought I had sent a message with the other goon" Yevgeny turned toward the voice to see Nessa walking toward them.

-"You must be Darkana of Shilen..." the man coughed as he got up from the floor.

-"Yevgeny, go...this is between him and me now..." Yevgeny looked at Nessa puzzled, Nessa looked at him and smiled, she then casted a spell to make him disappear from the site.

-"So I'm guessing my target has changed?"

-"I will not let my friends get harmed..."

-"You know that you are wounded as well...you think you are match for me?"

-"Let's just say we are in equal conditions..." Nessa said getting out her dagger
