The men seemed to close in upon them. Autumn stared anxiously, and took a glance at her friend. What was that? She was smiling?
Okay, maybe she got a plan, Autumn thought.
Suddenly she felt a familiar weight on her head.
A crow? No, not now of all times.
One of the men began to smirk. But before his lips could curve upwards Kai kicked him in the stomach.
Oh, so she's doing that, Autumn thought. But it's wrong to hurt people... She shook that thought away. Autumn, this is the hunt, she thought to herself. Either hurt or get hurt, kill or get killed.
All this thinking had happened in a moment, so Autumn was able to beat up the man standing on her left side. The crow standing on her head took of when she moved. She punched the man's face, kicked his stomach, than kicked his legs so he dropped on the floor before be could fall unconscious. But she moticed her friend was faster and had already taken care of the third man.
"Wow, you're pretty fast," Autumn told her as they quickly walked away, "twice as fast as I am."
"What do you mean? You beat up two of them while I beat one."
"Of course you-" Autumn stopped. She looked in front of her and saw that boy from earlier walking ahead of them. He glanced back and noticed them looking at him. Then he started running, disappearing from their sight.
"You think he did it?" Kai asked her.
Autumn thought for a moment. "Well, he was on the other side of the street, so why else would he be here?" Then she added, "And by the way, don't you think those men were surprisingly pretty weak?"
Kai shrugged. "Anyway, we have something more important to take care of."
Kai glanced at the paper that was still in her hands, then to her left. There was the hotel.
