The Unkillables
“He turned to see his son rising to his feet, determined to attack once more. Chert’s stern face didn’t betray his worry. If this kept up, he’d have to try to incapacitate the boy again with another blow to the head, and he didn’t want to risk damaging him. More, he couldn’t deny, at least privately, the risk that the Jaw might actually manage to kill him.
“Stop this,” said Chert.
“You killed my mother,” said the Jaw.
Chert wanted to point out that the boy’s mother had been nothing but a Big-Bro...w slave and was more something shameful he should forget, than someone valuable he should avenge. But he was willing to bend so far as to set that aside. “I didn’t kill your mother,” he said instead. “I only stopped you from killing yourself.”
“You stopped me from saving her,” said the Jaw, and launched himself again.
Expertly Chert stepped aside, at the same time sticking his leg in the boy’s way and grabbing and tossing him along. The Jaw went flying. Chert was freakishly strong, about even with his half-breed son (he didn’t know it, but this strength came from a Big-Brow great-grandfather).MoreLess
