Chapter 29: Massacre
Chapter 28
"What the hell is that?" Ash whispered to himself, instinctively moving away. He could instantly tell that whatever creature that thing was, it wasn’t something he could defeat. It’s something like, your body recognizes a being stronger than it and instantly recoils to protect itself.
"Are you also trapped here?" Dael asked, standing up from the floor and regaining some composure.
"You could say so." Velmaria replied, eyes scanning everyone, but then...she squinted a bit upon sighting Kaizen.
"Damn she’s hot." Thorne said quietly to the rest.
"Is that seriously what’s on your mind right now? She could be a beast. Have you forgotten the report from Black veil? It was a fucking red elf as I heard." Mira whispered to Thorne in a warning tone.
"She has no visible long ears. Besides, this doesn’t look like the beast realm. I’m sure she..." Thorne couldn’t finish his sentence when a hand dug from behind his back and into his chest. Then Velmaria leaned closer, whispering into his ears.
"I really don’t like anyone gossiping about my looks." She aggressively pulled her hands out of his chest, and Thorne landed like a puppet, his eyes still wide from the shock of death as blood pooled around his body.
It took a moment for everyone to register what had just happened, and that was when real fear caught up with them.
Mira collapsed to the floor as her trembling legs refusing to play along and keep her standing, she stared wide eyed at Thorne’s corpse, tears blurring her vision.
