She May be Evil

Chapter 33 King

Levos looks to me as if asking for help but I shake my head at him.

Circe is completely right.

It was dangerous and there will be repercussions.

I look towards her. Her red eyes still burning holes into everyone around her.

Everyone has been silent since she uttered the last words "I'll fucking kill you."

I shiver just thinking about it.

Would she actually kill them?

Cela tenses as Circe walks forward and snatches Seri out of her arms. She begins walking back to the carriage until she stops in her tracks like she heard something.

Her had snaps to the right side of the forest and it looks like she sees something because she shoves Seri back in Cela's arms and bolts into the trees.

I quickly look around and notice Selkie is the closest to me. "Here, hold him for a second." I place Syrian in his arms and he freezes, but I don't have time to hear what he says because I'm already running after Circe.

I spot her in the distance weaving through the trees, chasing something.

Damn she runs fast.

She turns left and I lose sight of her before I pick up the pace.

I see her crouching down in front of something and I slow down.

I completely freeze when she stands up and I see that her hand is wrapped around a girls neck.

The girl is pale and has blonde hair. She looks quite short as Circe dangles her in the air.

I gulp as I take another step forward and her alert eyes snap to mine. They relax a bit when she realizes it's me but they immediately harden when she looks back at the blonde.

Is she about to kill her? "Circe what are you doing?" I cautiously ask knowing shes still upset at everyone.

"This girl, she was watching us." She looks at the girl up and down. "I think she created the box."

"W-what? No I didn't. I was just gathering food-" she stops talking when Circe squeezes her neck.

"Circe, stop. Maybe she is just a girl who-"

"She's lying." She cuts me off.

"How do you know."

She grumbles something before she says, "I'll tell you later. I know she lying."

She seems sure.

I slowly walk up next to her. "We should question her, can you let go of her neck?" I ask her.

She thinks about it before she releases her hold and the girl collapses on the ground holding her neck.

Circe crouches down and the girl scrambles back to the big tree behind her.

There's barely any sunlight in the thick trees when Circes eyes begin to glow red, just like they did when we were painting her and I can tell the blonde is terrified.

Circe tilts her head in a menacingly way as she slowly asks the questions. "Did Delos send you?"

The girl frantically shakes her head. "No! I don't even know who-"

"Don't lie." Circe says calmly as she removes a throwing knife from her ankle and holds it up to the girls neck. I feel something in the air change as she says her next words. "I know exactly who you are, Emma Simmons."

I reel back surprised. How does she know her name?

The girls eyes go wide with fear as she splutters. "H-h-how do you-"
