Chapter 123: Kill him
A groan was heard past the crackling of fire, in the underground dungeons.
Nancy slowly opened her eyes, and reflexively moved her hand to touch her aching head, but her eyes flew open on hearing the clanging of chains.
She looked about her and gasped, struggling, only to groan painfully at the tight grip the clamp had around her wrists.
Unfortunately, each wrist of hers was chained to the sides of both walls facing each other in the cell room. Her legs were free, but she was so weak, she was on her knees. Her hands hurt, mostly her wrists, her knees felt cold against the floor. Come to think of it, the entire prison cell she was in was so cold, any normal human would have frozen to death since.
Dried blood stains were at the side of her lip and nose, and her eyes were very heavy, thus, it was half closed as she panted, looking around.
Where the f**k was she?
She tried to get up, but the chains bound to her wrists made it quiet impossible, so she fell back to her knees again with a loud gasp, chains jiggling and echoing in the room.
"Easy there," Someone suddenly appeared before her and she scrambled back, chains jiggling nosily. "I doubt struggling will do you good. You’d just keep getting hurt."
Nancy eyed her cautiously. This Kitsune was in her supernatural form. She had short pink hair and dark gold eyes and she had countless tails swishing behind her, emitting a dark aura.
Anyone from afar would think she was nice and vulnerable with her Angelic expression, but Nancy knew better than to fall for it. They were foxes and their kind was cunning, dangerous and deceitful.
"I’m Beth," she suddenly pulled something which she had been holding into view, and Nancy saw it was a glass of water. "What’s your name?"
