One Bite...and you're dead

Intruders

Your POV

I deleted that thought from my memory and went up the flight of stairs.

Many people were already there, supposedly all of the elders had arrived. Father introduced me to everyone that was there, which was most of the people.

I was nervous at first, but I slowly loosened up and drank to my heart's content (without making it seem I was greedy, of course).

Suddenly, gunshots were heard.

Everyone rushed down to the first level and found a couple of people firing at an injured element caster that frantically tried to escape.

An elder used the art of earth to soak up all of the damage before charging up a combination of air and fire that burned all of them alive, revealing a woman in her 20s being held captive that blocked the fire with a wind barrier.

Raymond's POV

That face looks familiar..

Zoey?

Her hands were tied together by metals that could withstand extreme temperatures and pressure.

" I was forced to... They made me bring them to the location or they would kill me... But, I changed the portal address on the way here, so nobody else should be able to enter. I didn't tell them who the others were, so they don't know about you and Rachel. "

The same elder nodded slowly and dissolved the metal that cuffed her hands.

Father went forward and said, " It isn't your fault , Zoey, stay in here for the time being. It's too dangerous to go back now. "

Zoey nodded.

How did they find out about us?

Your POV

How... how did he do that?

I recalled Raymond mentioning to me about the art of metal.

That's probably one of the skills in the art of metal.

The party resumed and the injured went back to his or her room, but the atmosphere was different. There had never been an attacker here before.

After the party, Rachel and Zoey dragged me to their room.

" Hey, do you like Raymond? " Rachel questioned.

" N..no, of course not! "

" Right... " Zoey said doubtfully.

" Rachel, don't you have to go back? " I spoke in an attempt to avoid the question.

" Oh, that slipped my mind. I'll get going now. "

I exitted the room with Rachel, and then I went to check on the injured person.

" Help me eject poison out of me. "

" How.. "

" Combine fire and water. "

And just how do I do that?

And.. This marks the end of this chapter! Recently writing 300-400 words again so they're kinds short anyways thanks for reading!
