Chapter 4: I Want The Devil's Head

Kali Ambrosia

I quickly run towards him, feeling my knife in my pocket I look at his stance and look for weakness then I saw an opening or so I thought...

"Ugh! fu-" Before I could finish he immediately take my hand and pushed my hip which I swear heard a crack sending multiple sparks and pain through my entire body. Just when I thought he was done, he sent me flying towards the tree hitting my back so hard which I think might have been broken too.

Curse him! I never knew he was this strong! Such brutal force damn it! I couldn't feel my upper body anymore I can't also keep my eyes open. This is bad... If I don't figure things out, I'm as good as dead! Suddenly, I felt something touching my arm raising me from the pool of blood. I flinched at the contact while pain continue to submerged through my body. Until I felt nothing anymore, it was like the pain was taken away from me. With one last look I saw Aragorn Beorhtwulf holding me while staring at me cold as an ice.

-------------------------

"What happened..." I said as I woke up, I feel numb all over my body. I'm still alive?

"Rest. You need it." My whole body immediately froze from the owner of the voice making me turn to him.

"Why-" Seeing his glare I quickly closed my mouth stopping my endless questions as to why would he keep me alive... Don't tell me!

"Relax, I won't kill you. Unless you want to change my mind that is." I glared at him. As I was going to say a comeback he 'again' cut me off.

"Killing me wouldn't get you nowhere." I look at him confused.

"What do you mean? Ha! Killing you makes me smile." I sneered at him angrily for offending my goal. If only I could move, I would have put a scratch on him now.

"Your from that village, aren't you?" From what he just said made me stop.

"Yes and because of you that village is no more!" I yelled at him furiously trying to move my body but ended up getting hurt again, obviously from the wounds I got earlier. Nevertheless, I continue to move.

"Because of me? You're right..." This made me stopped from my struggling and looked at him serious. What's with this guy? He was somewhat guilty, I noticed a short glimpse of pain in his eyes which makes me more confused. He's probably playing with me, that's it!

"You destroyed that village, didn't you? So stopped acting as if you're guilty! fool!"

"You want to kill me right?"

"Wha-"

"I'll let you kill me but not now, especially when I haven't kill him yet."

"Do you really think I'll do whatever you say?"

"No, but I know you know that you can't kill me."

I spit at his words. How arrogant can he get?! How dare he!

"I can kill you, I'm just tired tsk."

"Oh really? Well, that's not the situation earlier, am I right?" I glared at him so hard that it could bore a hole in his head. Clenching my fist, I started struggling again to stand and fight this bastard.

"Stop moving. Move some more and you'll die from blood loss, you idiot!" He yelled at me freezing me yet again. I bite my lips holding myself back or else I might suffer what he just said.

"Like I said, I'll only let you kill me when I'm done. So stop wasting your energy in senseless things!" He yelled seemingly mad making me flinched from his outburst. He must have realized it then avoided me, I looked at him coldly before commenting.

"You looked like shit." I said coldly making him glance at me with amusement in his eyes and sneered.

"I must say yours is far more worse, my lady." He said smirking making me hmmped at him and avoid contact.

Several minutes later I looked at him again and studied his features. He wears a dirty black clothing or should I say bloody black clothing, obviously from his recent fight including me. He has black long raven hair covering his ear from the cold night and from my distance I could tell he's good-looking and have a great built.

"Stop staring if you don't mean it." I turned to him confused of what he just said when something comes in mind which makes everything clear to me, making me flushed red embarrassed from the thought and what this man thought. After calming down, I remembered the question that has been going around in my head and bravely asked him.

"What is it?" He looked at me clueless of what I was saying and making me repeat it in a more clear way.

"I said what is the thing that you haven't done yet or should I ask... Who are you going to kill? Aragorn Beorhtwulf?" His eyes turned black lile his wolf have taken over and look at me expressionlessly straight in the eye without even blinking. I felt cold immediately at the way my question changes the mood quickly, started making me regret asking when he answered me something that made things more complicated than it already has.

"I want the Devil's head."
