Anna can't help but pout. The coldness of the air is nothing to the warmth of the strong arms hugging her from behind while the horse is running on speed back to North.

Her heart is raging, can't help but gulp the imaginary lump in her throat, she froze like a statue. She could feel his hot and hard chest against her back. His scent is potent as her nerves can't be calm, his aromatic mild coffee ground mix with a fresh minty scent has been invading her nose, it's making her heady.

Hindi niya alam kung paano siya nahila nito at naisakay ng kabayo. Her system just shut down when she saw him, coldly staring at her yet fuming madly.

Hindi na siya nakapagreact pa at nakita nalang ang sariling kasama si Zealand, nakasakay sa iisang kabayo at hindi kumikibo. Batid niya ang galit at inis sa nakakakilabot  nitong presensya. Hindi niya alam kung ba't siya kinakabahan but she felt like may mangyayari na nakaabang pagdating nila ng norte.

Yes, she left without a word, pero babalik din naman siya at hindi niya naman ginustong umalis.

After seeing an opening on her attackers body, she immediately lunches a punch on her stomach causing the unknown woman to take a step back, she took that opportunity and lunge again, slash her belly and bend when the assassin wagged her black thorny whip causing a loud thud after hitting the wall.

She can sense a strong magic in her whip, and she is sure, one accurate hit will leave a severe injury. All she is doing was avoiding the continuous slashes.

Ang malakas na tama nito sa pader ng silid at sahig ay umalingawngaw sa paligid subalit walang sino man mula sa labas ang nakakarinig, tila ba ang ingay ay nakakahon lamang.

It's the House of Dimarco, heavily guarded so how come an assassin was able to infiltrate her room, maliban nalang kung nasa loob mismo ng mansyon ito nanggaling.

'Pinapapatay na ba ako ng lalaking yun? Damn him, pag ako nabuhay dito, ididisplay ko talaga ang ulo niya sa sentro ng syudad.'

She can't go near her without a scratch. The whip stretches according to it's wielders will.

"Ahh." Mahinang daing ng babae ng biglang makaramdam ng matinding sakit sa kamay. "Ahhhh." She shouted.

Nabitawan niya ang latigo sa subrang sakit. She has no idea why, pero parang pinipiga ang kanyang laman.

"Ahhh." Napaluhod siya sa sahig ng nanikip ang kanyang dibdib, nahihirapang huminga at halos manlabo ang kanyang paningin. It's painful, extremely.

"Who send you?" Napatingin siya sa babaeng ngayon nakatayo sa harap niya at nakatutok ang malamig na punyal sa kanyang leeg.

Her face is blank but there's excitement and bloodlust in her eyes.

She chuckle and smirk saka napalingo-lingo.

"Y-you're really...a crazy bitch." Napakunot ang noo ni Anna sa sinabi ng babaeng natatakpan ng itim na tela ang mukha.

"Argh." She grunt ng maramdaman ang malakas na impak ng matinik na latigo sa kanyang likod kasabay ng pagtilapon niya sa dingding.

Ramdam na ramdam niya ang pagbaon ng tinik sa kanyang balat at ang pagkarerahan ng kanyang dugo sa pag-agos.

"This-argh." Before she could retaliate, the thorny whip embraced her neck. She tried to move but She can't, she could feel how the spine thrust in her skin.
