I bolted to the other side of the waterfall.

I hit the ground hard.

Which is fantastic, because I'd rather hit the fucking floor than a wall.

Nice to know my lucky guess was right.

But fuck...

I really slammed into it.

Like my life depended on it.

Which, for the most part, it did.

Kali has proven she has no problem taking me down.

And not in self-defense or whatever.

That girl isn't fooling me anymore.

I know what she is.

I saw it in her cold eyes.

She's a thrill killer.

Someone who enjoys the power that comes with the kill.

Figures...

I come all the way out here...

Just to run into someone exactly like me.

...

And then I see her.

Right on the other side of the waterfall.

...

All of a sudden,

I can't hear shit.

The trees.

The waterfall.

The howling wind.

Nothing.

...

It's all gone.

...

All I can hear are Kali's footsteps.

Crunch.

A twig snaps beneath her foot.

Crunch.

Dry leaves buckle under her weight.

Slow.

Steady.

Deliberate.

...

She's not running.

She's walking.

...

Why the fuck is she walking?

...

I just escaped a raging river.

Nearly drowned.

Smashed into enough rocks to build a bloody monument.

And somehow...

I feel safer in that river than I do standing here.

Watching her approach.

...

Look at the little bitch.

Fuck her for looking so fucking calm.

And here I am...

Cowering like a little bitch.

Bloody hell.

Fuck her for turning the tables on me.

...

Is this what parents mean when they say teenagers are terrifying?

FUCK HER.

Fuck her parents for birthing Devil's hell spawn.

Who the fuck raises a homicidal ninja squirrel?

Fucking parents.

Probably saying things like,

"Oh, let's put our little girl in acrobatics."

"That sounds fun."

Yeah?

Well look where that got us.

Now she's running around the woods like the Queen of the Squirrels.

Dropping out of trees.

Stabbing strangers.

Ruining perfectly good murder plans.

FUCK THEM!!

Stupid Ass parents with their stupid ass lunatic ninja squirrel daughter!!

...

Wait.

...

Americans.

Of course.

Everything makes sense now.

I knew they were always the violent ones.

I mean...

How brain-dead do you have to be to raise that thing as a daughter?

"Look honey, little Kali climbed another tree today!"

Fantastic.

Now she's climbing out of them with weapons.

"She's so athletic."

Yeah?

Well now she's a homicidal ninja squirrel.

Congratulations.

You did it.

You won parenting.

...

Fuck!

This is the reason I shall never have children.

...

I mean...

Not that I can since...

Beatrix left me...

...

Fuck...

Why...

Damn it...

Shit...

Dante, there no need to bring that up right now.

Focus on the girl in front of you.

Not about the phantom of your past.

Fuck this bitch for reminding me of.........THAT!!

And she's still out there...

...

Why is she looking at the waterfall?

...

Can...

Can she see right through?

Shit!!

Am I visible to her?!!
