The fact that Daniel and Marcus were weaponless didn't help matters any. Daniel wasn't sure how long they'd be able to avoid Krieger. The brute didn't seem to be running out of breath any time soon, and Daniel now had a stitch in his side. He thought that maybe he'd pulled something that last time he'd dodged.
Marcus was staggering to his feet, looking for any type of weapon. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be one lying conveniently nearby. Not that he'd expected it, anyway. Still, one couldn't help but hope.
The only option appeared to be trickery. As one of the undead, Krieger's mind, if it worked at all, would be so slow that such a tactic just might work. Maybe...a desperate plan began to form in Marcus's mind, as he watched the his young companion struggling to avoid Krieger's deadly hands.
"Daniel!" Marcus called out. "Let him corner you!"
"What?!" Daniel gasped, sidestepping a downward blow.
"Just listen to me, you idiot!"
"Whatever you say!" Daniel said uncertainly. He definitely didn't want to be between a wall and a big, hairy body, that was for sure. Still, Marcus seemed to have some sort of plan. Daniel was rather short of one, so he would just have to follow the other man's orders. Even though he thought that Marcus had temporarily gone insane.
Dodging again, Daniel nearly had his head lopped off. His foot slipped on the floor, and he nearly lost his balance. If he wasn't careful, he'd never know what Marcus had planned. Not that it would matter to him at that point, anyway.
