Chapter 125: New Jewelry
Chang Xuefeng cocked his head as he looked at me, a weird expression on his face. "I hate to break it to you, Wish Girl, but that was always my plan."
My eyes widened at his statement, but I wasn’t about to protest. Something told me that I needed to stay here for a while, and, truth be told, I was pretty sure that there was no one back home missing me. "Fine," I agreed. "No matter where I go, you can come with me."
"To the ends of the world and back, Wish Girl," chuckled the Reaver, coming to his feet. For some reason, I left like I had just walked into a trap, only I couldn’t figure out the exact nature of it.
Shrugging my shoulders, I adjusted the bows on my two pigtails. I wanted to look my best for this fight so they brought me back to the pit more often. The audience was brimming with unspoken wishes, not to mention anyone looking death in the face was bound to make a wish or two.
A throat being cleared from the other side of the cage caused me to narrow my eyes as Chang Xuefeng slid between me and the door. "What?" he demanded, his voice nothing more than a low growl.
I could see his body literally shifting until it seemed that he had packed on at least another 50 lbs of pure muscle.
"You’re not supposed to be in her cage," whispered the voice, the fear evident in it. "And you didn’t lock the door after you entered."
Shifting so that just my head was jutting out from behind Chang Xuefeng, I stared at the person on the other side. He didn’t look like a Reaver. He didn’t have the height, the build, or the gaping wounds I associated with them either.
Maybe he was human?
