She shuts her eyes to block the vision as if it is gonna give her some relief from what is happening. She waits for the pain, she waits for her defeat but nothing comes. Instead she hears someone's breath hitching as if they are stabbed or shot in a very unexpected manner.it should be hers. But no, it's someone else's.
Her eyes open, the dim light of the sky hits her black orbs and she squints them to decipher the scene before her. Dwade was struggling. He was in pain. She slowly moves her gaze to his back. There were two arrows freshly planted inside his flesh.
This is the chance.
She kicks him and reaches for the dagger that has fallen out of dwade's hand but a strong force on her leg pulls her back. Just a moment ago, she was reaching for the dagger but now she was in hands of dwade with a wicked grin.
She raised her fist to hit him but she choked, her hand falling limp.she was shot. Dwade used her as a shield.her eyes closed shut in a reflex. She could feel the sharp end of the arrow rooted inside her, splitting the layers of skin, tissues, fat and muscle inside her into two. Thick red liquid hurriedly gushed out of the slit drenching her skin and leather staining a thick red.
She could feel the man's grip loosening on her. She fell onto the ground with a thud. Her breathing was ragged as she opened her eyes. Dwade was running away into the forest.
Wait.
DWADE WAS RUNNING AWAY INTO THE FOREST! SHE IS LOSING HIM!!!
Her senses came back to her in a flash. She grabbed the sword and dagger from the ground and started running in one swift motion. The pain of the arrow in her back was long forgotten. At this pace, She cant catch him once he enters the woods. It's gonna be hard to search for him since it's not that bright.
She halts for a moment.she turns back to see jungkook now lying unconscious on the dirty ground. She wasn't even sure if he was alive.
"Take prince jeon inside!" she yells at the guards and makes her way to the forest. She could see Hoseok and Jimin running towards the forest from her peripheral vision.
Who set them free? Who shot dwade if they are untied just now?
That's not her concern for now. She should kill her enemy and she needs something to shoot him before he escapes in the dark.
She sees a man who was in jet black clothes, his face covered with a black rag concealing his identity. He was tall with a chiseled chest and a muscular buff body. He had an intimidating aura around him. in his hand was a bow and arrow, exactly what she needed.from his looks,he didn't look like he was from wolfaan. Without sparing a glance, she grabbed the weapons from his hand and he looked at her in surprise.
The mysterious man followed her from behind with a lance and sword in each of his hands. Jimin and hoseok were in different directions from naaila and the mysterious man. She could spot the silhouette of her enemy in the dark. Aiming at him with her hawk vision, she drags her leg forward to shoot him but a deep voice stops her.
"Not there." he whispers huskily in her ear. She looks at him in turmoil. His features were not clear in the dark but his eyes were trained on his prey. She looks back at the silhouette. Its isnt moving.
"He knows we're following him. The moment you release, he will change his direction." his breath fans her ear as he speaks once again.
"How are you so sure?" naaila asks, her gaze still resting on dwade.
"Shoot just an inch to the right. Trust me for this once. Princess." he adds.
She debates for a moment but then the throbbing pain in her back snaps her out of trance. The arrow is still inside her and she can't stay long. Just as he said, she tilts the arrow to the right and releases it .The string of the bow makes a shrill sound and dwade moves to his right. The arrow hits him and he falls down with a blunt thud, weighing on the ground.
That was inch perfect!
But naaila had no time to compliment the man behind her. She trudges through the woods along with him, their boots cracking the dry leaves under them.
They reached him, where he was lying with his face planted on the ground and his back facing at them. He was struggling to make a move and turn around. Naaila walks and she uses her legs to flip his body. She kneels down beside him and grips his neck from back,raising his head to look at her . he still had that stupid grin on his face.
"You can't kill dwade this easily." he laughs, his yellow teeth stained with blood. Naaila furrows her eyebrows in confusion. A second later, he starts coughing vigorously and blood oozes out of his throat. His eyes roll back to his head and his body falls limp.
Naaila freezes. What happened just now?
" he killed himself." the deep voice speaks again.
"What?" naaila jerks her head to him. He crouches down beside her as he observes the dead body. Naaila turns her attention back to the dead man again. His lips were blue.
"He poisoned himself" she spoke breathlessly, panic bubbling inside her like the lava inside a volcano.
"Yes." he spoke again. Naaila stands up to her feet, hand clutching her forehead. Something doesn't feel right. Why did he have to kill himself? What did he mean when he said you can't kill dwade so easily when he killed himself?
"Something doesn't fit right." the man beside her voiced out her thoughts. Naaila doesn't reply but she just stares at the body.
"Stay still, i am going to pull this arrow out." the man says and naaila snaps back. She simply nods and goes back to her thoughts.
"You can't kill dwade easily." his voice rings in her ears.
She could feel the mysterious man's hand resting on her shoulder and his other hand fidgeting with the arrow.
He said that dwade can't be killed easily. But he is dead already. She hisses a little as she feels the metal being tugged outwards.
Dwade can't be killed easily. But the man in front of her is dead.
Something cannot be pieced.
She bites her lip out of confusion. The monster who wanted to conquer the whole world poisoned himself. Just because he got caught. It.. it didn't make any sense. Why'd he do that?
The man is dead and he said dwade can't be killed easily.
Wait, what?
He never said you can't kill ME. he always said DWADE.
That means,
All of a sudden,Her pupils dilated and the air was knocked out of her lungs as she let out a loud and painful scream. The deep seated arrow was pulled out from her body by the mysterious warrior.
Her breathing gets ragged and pain spreads throughout her whole body. Her knees go weak and she falls back onto his wide chest. Blackspots cloud her vision and she feels two strong arms wrap her body and lift her up from the ground.
Before her vision completely blacked out, she saw a pair of green eyes far away from them shining like jade with a victorious grin on their face.
That means,
The man who died just now is not dwade.
She tried to move her lips to utter some words but her systems were shutting down rapidly. The green eyes stare at her,like she was their prey . Before she could see what's happening, she blacks out and falls into the arms of the unknown man, similar to a dead creature.
And there he is, my favourite boy!!
Taehyung ssii....
Love,
Moon.
