Chapter 143: Nothing More Than A Thief!
Evanna started cutting through Ronan’s bounded hands, frowning when she saw Killian was not helping Cilv. Ronan continued to try and speak,
"On’t ugh er!"
"Killian, what are you doing? You are wasting time. Help Cilv so we can head out," Evanna ordered, but when he didn’t move, she paused and looked at him. He was glaring at Cilv, his face full of fury, his ruby eyes narrowing.
"I think.. you should see what your friend has to say first," He said darkly, clenching his fists. Evanna glanced between Ronan and Cilv, but the sound of another faceless creature screeching reminded her of their urgency to escape. She cut through Ronan’s ropes, and they fell away from his hands; he instantly pulled his gag down and wetted his lips.
"Don’t trust her, Raven. She’s nothing more than a thief!"
Evanna looked at the petite red-haired shapeshifter before cutting through the ropes that kept their bodies stuck to the tree. Cilv instantly tried to move, but Killian suddenly appeared next to the shapeshifter, blocking her way and Evanna now in front of her. She pulled Cilv’s gag down.
"Princess, how good it is to see you still alive. I never expected the Flori to be so.. accommodating towards a thief," She smirked while her eyes sought out a way to escape them. But with Killian there, it was pointless in even trying. Cilv looked at the vampire, and for the first time, there was fear in her features.
"What did you do?" Evanna asked her sternly, ignoring her comment.
"She stole the gem," Ronan spat. Evanna stilled, her eyes widening at what he just spoke.
"Did my ears mishear what you just said, Roach? I swore you said my friend, Cilandra, who I was to pay handsomely for her services.. betrayed me," Evanna said icily, looking back at the woman before her.
Cilv chuckled darkly, "What do you expect? I thought you were dead; the gem is no good to a dead person!"
