Chapter 141: Just One Bite
The atmosphere became tense, almost stilling the forest. The raven-haired elf did not lower his bow, his eyes trained on Evanna. Killian pulled on the brown-haired elf’s long locks, making him hiss and squirm in his hold. Evanna released her breath and pulled her mask down.
"*He WILL kill him. My friend is ravenous. It has been years since he last fed properly,*" She warned, clutching her swords by her sides.
The warrior’s lips parted at her words.
"*You speak our tongue?*" He scrutinised Evanna’s features behind the arrow aimed at her head.
"*Please lower your bow. I have travelled from Lyvaria,*" Evanna replied calmly. She didn’t know if that lie would work again, but it seemed to make him falter and lower his aim.
"*You have come far.." He tilted his head to the side, his gaze still full of suspicion. "I find it strange that an elf and a.." He glanced up at Killian, "vampire are travelling together. As you are on the Flori’s land, I ask that you state your business.*"
"Can I kill them?" Killian asked.
"No," Evanna replied sternly. "*My friend is keen on killing you both, but I am more merciful. Let us pass without further disruption so we can be on our way or die by his hands. It is your choice, *" She threatened the raven haired-elf.
"*Release Wade, and we will leave.*"
