"My dear then you should rest because it's still a long Walk from here to your home," Martha said.Evelyn didn't want them to stay longer because she felt the woman was creepy but she agreed with a nod. "Come on dear lean on me," Martha said trying to go close to Erica but Evelyn brushed her off quickly. "I'll take care of her, you have already done enough for us."Evelyn took Erica back to the coach so she could rest and Martha went over to get some water."Thank you." She said and helped Erica sit up so she could drink from the cup."You should have some too," Martha said passing a cup to her."I'm fine," Evelyn said and suddenly her hands brushed over to the woman's nails and she wrinkled her eyes.For a woman, they were kind of long.She shook her head not to worry too much about it."Please do you have a room where I can lie down ?" Erica said panting softly."Of course, I do, follow me," Martha said. "Hello me up," Erica said in a low tone.With one pull she helped Erica up
"But General what about the plan we were to execute concerning the South?" John asked.Sullivan who was already almost at the door paused with his mind racing with what decision he was going to take. The reason for coming here wasn't just to help people but also to establish his stronghold in the south and dismantle the five great families' control in this region. No matter how he painted it everything was still bored down to revenge. He was stuck at the junction between his responsibilities and his wife. "Whatever plans we made can wait," He said with a frown. He didn't have to weigh his options before bye knew his wife needed him and he had to be there for her. "Are you sure because if we leave now the five great families will be heavily guarded and will want to fortify their stronghold," John advised. "So what will you have me do." Sullivan roared, plunging his fist to the wall. John immediately regretted his decision to say anything in the first place when he saw the gener
"Let her go at once," Evelyn yelled. "As if you even have a say in this matter." Martha chuckled."I'm starting to get Hungry and you just happened to be my favorite meal." She said as her eyes lit up with excitement."Wha..what do you mean?." Evelyn asked.What do you want with us?" Evelyn yelled, her voice shaking but filled with raw anger."I was thinking of keeping you guys for later but you have proven to be too stubborn." She smirked at Evelyn who was worried about Erica who looked like was about to give up the ghost any minute."I think I'll start with you because you look like the smart one. I can't have you trying to escape." Erica coughed up blood, her body trembling violently before she collapsed on the ground. Martha's grip loosened slightly, her attention momentarily distracted by Erica's collapse."Evelyn, help..." Erica's voice was barely a whisper. Evelyn was freaking out but she was able to seize the opportunity, charging at Martha with a fierce determination."Go
"Let her go!" Erica screamed."Please let her go!" Her shoulders tremble as her voice shutters with fear.Martha grinned as she clicked her tongue.She took in Evelyn's battered state was was satisfied.She glances at the blood sipping from the wound and she uses her fingertips to brush against the wound.She chuckled then she used the blood on her hands and licked it with joy."You girls taste so good, my children are going to like it."Martha released the knife from Evelyn's shoulder and smiled."Don't worry I'm not going to kill you just yet because I need to save all this meat for rainy days.""You want meat? Why don't you try your mine instead." Erica scoffed."I like your spirit." Martha squeaks like a little girl who just tasted candy."I'm so going to enjoy this," Martha said then she started walking towards Erica who started moving backwards.Her petty attempt at an escape was lousy and it excited Martha even further."No!" Evelyn muttered, her heart racing fastIt was Fuele
"Sullivan.." She choked even harder as she tried to catch her breath but his grip on her throat was firm.She held onto his hand that was on her neck, wishing she could free herself, but it was merely wishful thinking.She was starting to feel dizzy her eyes were beginning to flicker.Sullivan's grip tightened around Evelyn's throat, and his eyes were wild with a mix of anger and desperation. "Where is she?" he growled, his voice low and menacing.How was she even going to talk when he was choking her to death?Tears were forming up in her eyes and she glanced to her left.Even though her vision was blurry she could make up John's faint figure.She had her hands stretched out to him but he just stood there.She didn't expect him to do anything to help her because he was loyal to the dragon general.Evelyn gasped as he pressed further with a growl."Where is she?" "Sullivan stop!" Erica yelled as she ran towards them.Sullivan's ears perked up when he heard his wife's voice."Let he
Evelyn struggled to regain her balance, her hands instinctively pressing against John's chest to steady herself. She looked up at him, her eyes blazing with a mix of anger and confusion."Let me go," she demanded, trying to push away from him.John's grip tightened, not enough to hurt but firm enough to keep her close."No, I don't want to." He said.Evelyn's eyes flashed with an emotion he didn't quite understand."Why?""I like you being close." He muttered.Evelyn's heart did a flip as she heard those words but that didn't mean her anger had subsided. "No, Evelyn. We need to talk about this.""There's nothing to talk about," she snapped. "You made your choice.""Evelyn, please," John pleaded, his voice breaking.Evelyn's eyes widened because hearing him call her name felt so good and it warned her heart."What's there to talk about,?" She scoffed."You hate me." " I don't hate you." He contradicted."You think I'm the kind of monster that cannot be trusted even though I've made
Evelyn's eyes were fixed on him.Mesmerized by his care and his affection.The way he tended to her wounds made her heart melt.How could she possibly keep pretending to be mad at such a sweet soul?"Are you still feeling any pain?" John. asked.Evelyn was still looking at him with such intensity and he felt uncomfortable."Evelyn!" He snapped.Evelyn blinked her eyes, to bring herself back to reality as he flashed his hands over her face."Did you even hear what I said," John asked."I'm sorry I didn't get any of that." She admitted as her head dropped."Are you still feeling the pains on her shoulders?" He asked again."I'm. Fine..."Evelyn tried to move her arms but it only made it worse and she winced in pain because the pain was unbearable."Don't hurt yourself." He warned.John glanced at Evelyn and he noticed the blood stains on her face and clothes."I'll be back," John said as he stood up."Where are you going?""The bathroom." He replied in a low tone.Evelyn gave a nod as s
"What is it?" Sullivan asked.She raised her gaze to look at him but she shook her head.Erica shifted slightly, resting her head more comfortably on Sullivan’s shoulder as the evening breeze whispered through the trees."Are you sure you don't have anything to tell me?" He asked."Don't worry about it." The gentle rustling of leaves filled the silence between them. For a moment, everything felt almost peaceful, as if the weight of the world had temporarily lifted.Erica’s heart was heavy with something she had been carrying for far too long.This was something she always wanted but she didn't want to feel like she was forcing him“Sullivan,” she began, her voice barely above a whisper.He turned his head slightly, sensing the seriousness in her tone. He was relieved that was finally ready to speak to him.“What is it?” he asked, his voice calm, though a flicker of concern crossed his features.She hesitated, gathering her thoughts. This wasn’t something she could just blurt out.
