LACUNA [ THE DARKLING ]

017. - kaz and ravenna

Ravenna shouldn't have split away from Alina. 

After splitting away, Ravenna decided to show her face to the man with a hat so he could chase her. She walked to an alley and hide behind a gap in a wall. When she saw him walked past her, she walked closer to him and used her power on him. It was not that powerful and he probably would just have a nightmare or two after that. 

She backed away from him and decided to follow Alina, she didn't think that the other two would follow her, maybe the Cane man but he must have split up with the Hat man to find them quicker.

As long as she ran quickly, those two won't be able to find her so she let her guard down. She just didn't realize that she was caught in a trap until she walked out of the alleyway and a bottle of liquor was smashed to the back of her head, rendering her unconscious. 

Now, she was sitting in front of the trio with a bleeding head. The woman and the cane man who split her head open seemed to look at her in concern while the Hat Man looked at her in disdain but still nice enough to offer her a rag for her wound.

"Do you think she needed healers?" The cane man asked the other two. 

"Well she seemed to be losing blood. Just in case she needs a blood transfusion, what's your type?" The woman asked, looking dead serious and concerned. 

"Dangerous, handsome and mysterious men with dark features and-" 

"Blood type, stupid," 

"I'm not interested," the Hat Man and the Cane Man said at the same time.

"Oh," Ravenna muttered, she still felt a little bit lightheaded. She looked at the bloody rag before saying, "Red."

"And by the way, I never said my type was you. You frown too much, I like my man to smile at me," Ravenna continued. 

The two men looked so done with her, everyone seemed to have that kind of expression around her. 

"You know what? You can deal with it on your own," the Cane man said, they had more pressing matters. 

"Well, the alarm trigger is set. Horses are ready and I've stashed the rest of our gear."

"If we don't move soon, the Black General will be on top of us. We can't waste any more time looking for the girl," the Cane man said, his face looking serious but his frown was still present. 

"I just settled our tab with the last of our coin," the woman said, staring pointedly at the Hat man. 

"We're really gonna leave empty-handed then?"

"We have her don't we?" the Cane man gestured towards Ravenna who was looking quite delirious, he must have hit her harder than her thought.

"I am not going to sell my body just to make money for you lot," Ravenna replied.
