Chapter 496: Lost Bond
I stepped out of the mansion, eyeing the car. I paused, looking around to make sure no one was in the vicinity. Seeing no one, I made my way toward the woods, murmuring a cloaking spell to mask my scent just to be cautious.
The moon shined its brightest, giving me a path to see. I had no idea where I was going; all I knew was I needed to get further and further away until I was in the middle of nowhere. This should be enough.
"My patience has its limit, Emmaline"
The familiar voice stopped me in my tracks, I turned around but found no one there, nothing but the dark woods spanning for miles and miles, the hooting owl, and the crickets singing from their spot. I’m certain I heard his voice or was I hallucinating?
"I don’t have all the time in the world"
I gasped as I turned, finding Luther standing before me, taking away any means of personal space. He was just as eerily at night, dangerous and threatening specifically with the look he had on. He didn’t look too pleased that I came here without what he asked.
I think it’s time to stall, I might as well figure out why he wanted Hayden while I’m at it.
"W-Why do you want Hayden?" I asked, my fist clenched tightly to calm my nerves skyrocketing. This wasn’t the ideal plan I had... to be out here with him but I needed to stall, long enough to think of something. To shake off Luther won’t be easy but I’ll try my best. I’ll not hand Hayden to him. Whatever his twisted plan is he’s not getting it.
He narrowed his eyes and chuckled deeply, more amused than surprised about my actions. "Did you come here to question me?"
