Still screaming, he turned and started running. I watched him until he disappeared in the darkness.
Looking down at Rubin, I saw what had paralyzed Rainie.
When Rubin had tripped, he had fallen on the ax. As it entered his stomach, the sharp blade had sunk to the eye of the double-bitted ax.
Turning my back to the horrible sight, I closed my eyes.
The muscles in my stomach knotted and jerked. A nauseating sickness spread over my body.
I couldn’t look at him. I heard Rubin whisper. Turning around, I knelt down by his side with my back to the ax.
I couldn’t understand what he was whispering. Kneeling down closer, I heard and understood.
In a faint voice, he said, “Take it out of me.” I hesitated. Again he pleaded, “Please, take it out of me.”
Turning around, I saw his hands were curled around the protruding blade as if he himself had tried to pull it from his stomach.
How I did it, I’ll never know. Putting my hands over his and pressing down, I pulled the ax from the wound.
The blood gushed. I felt the warm heat as it spread over my hands.
Again the sickness came over me. I stumbled to my feet and stepped back a few paces.
