Chapter 32: Kill Or Be Killed
Evanna stared wide-eyed at Cilv, who sat on top of her, her hand angled at her throat with claws extended out, used as a weapon, and her eyes shining brightly, reflecting back golden cat eyes. She smirked at the astonishment on the princess’s face.
"Cilv.. your eyes-"
"NEVER turn your back on an enemy and ALWAYS put 100% into your kill. You never know what lies up their sleeves, what secrets they may be holding. For instance, you left me because my weapons were out of reach.. yet here we are, my claws against your neck."
"Cilv, we weren’t fighting to the death.."
"No, but if we were, you would be dead. The difference between you and me is that unlike you, I do not hesitate to strike my opponent." Cilv deadpanned. She then tilted her head to the side as she assessed the princess’s face. "Do you see what I mean?"
The guys were by the side of the two women on the wet earth, their faces stunned by Cilv’s hands and eyes. Snapping out of his trance, Axel grabbed Cilv and pulled her off Evanna, who immediately stood up, her eyes not leaving Cilv’s. Cilv did not struggle in Axel’s hold, neither did she show any signs of worry as they continued to look at the red-haired, cat-eyed woman.
"Let her go. She has not harmed me," Evanna said,
Axel released his hold on Cilv, who relaxed her hands in front of her, her nails going back to their original size. Ger looked at Evanna in disbelief by her comment, but he kept his mouth shut as Ronan held onto his shoulder tightly. Nesrin sat quietly on Ronan’s shoulder as she looked at each of their faces.
Evanna walked towards Cilv, who, with one blink of her eyes, changed them back to her normal hazel coloured ones.
"There is much for us to discuss," Evanna said as her hand gestured for Cilv to sit back down at the campfire.
The men were gobsmacked at the turn of events, one moment, they were fighting, and Cilv appeared to be some form of cat type woman, and then the next moment, they were sitting at the fire as though nothing happened. Women. Axel thought. He sat back down in his original spot, across from Evanna and Cilv. The pair sat down with Ger on the opposite side to the princess.
