Chapter 134. Her Red Blood.
The moon looked bright as Mauve stood beside the huge rock but it didn’t make any significant difference to her eyesight. Aside from the trees directly in front of her, she could really see anything.
She was beside the rock for only a couple of seconds but somehow it felt like minutes. She wanted to crunch low but she was worried about ants or worse. Considering she couldn’t rely on her eyesight, it will be in her best interest not to move around.
She shook her head pushing away the thoughts of things crawling up her. The worst thing she could do right now was make her position known. Jael hid her to keep her safe, she had to make sure she didn’t make any sound that would draw any sort of attention to her.
She heard a loud noise and jerked in fright. Were they already fighting the paler? She leaned forward, poking her head out but she couldn’t see past the trees directly in front of her.
Not that she had expected anything less but she would like to know what is going on. She leaned back and bit the side of her lips. She was scared.
She clasped her hand together as she prayed that they would both be fine. The first and last time she had seen a Paler, Damon had ended up with a nasty injury. The idea that the same might happen to Jael made her stomach churn. She couldn’t bear to see him hurt, she hoped he would be fine.
She wished the guards that accompanied them earlier were still with them but Jael had chased them off and not long after a Paler had appeared. She wondered if the guards could realize their situation or if they have too far gone to notice.
She doubted it though, vampires move fast but she knew Palers moved even faster. They were probably already too far to hear the sound of Jael fighting.
Mauve heard a swishing sound, she frowned as she noticed it got closer. It was quickly followed by the sound of leaves being crushed. The sound was headed toward her. Her face broke into a smile and she poked her head out.
