The Reject (On Hold)

Chapter 15

This isn't right. Why would they charge towards us with only this much members. It's the same like killing themselves.

I could see a wolf bigger than others running ahead. That must be the leader. I grip the handle of my sword tightly preparing for the incoming impact. The battle started.

While the royal guards is busy fighting another werewolves, me and Riley is slicing any wolf that dare to approach us.

The battle is getting more intense and I can smell lots of blood. The sound of skin ripping and growls fill the air.

With everyone including me and Riley are busy fighting our own battle, I didn't realize that I was slowly distancing myself from the royal guards.

Slicing open one wolf after another, I'm driven towards the edge of the forest. When suddenly I was pushed down by a rogue.

I drop my sword and open my eyes. A pair of eyes stare back towards me, and it belong to the rogue's leader.

He press his paw on my chest, making me unable to breath. This is bad, think Edith think.

I try to look for my sword but it's nowhere to be seen. It must have been tossed somewhere when he push me down.

I think long and hard, deciding what should I do to get out of this predicament. That's it! I should taunt him into changing to his human form.

Then, I can fight him. I'm not sure if I can win against his wolf form, but I might have a chance if it's the human counterpart.

Here goes nothing.

"So, you're the leader of this pack of rogues?"

"I can't believe that you're so weak. You need to be in your wolf form just to defeat a little girl."

"Are you sure that you're the leader? Heck I'm only a meek little girl but I'm sure that I got bigger guts than you."

"Now go ahead, rip my head and be done with it." Taunting him even more.

I'm currently playing a dangerous game. If I manage to taunt him, I could walk out of here alive, but if I make him even more angry, I could lose my life in an instance.

But I could feel him taking his paw away from my chest and quickly transform back to his human form.

Before I could gain my composure, he put a hand in my neck choking me. He pick me up in the air and press even harder before finally decide speaking.

"You carry the princess's sword. But she isn't nearby. You must be her trusted guard, so where is she?"

How could he know about my sword. No one ever know about it and I make sure not to use it if it's not an emergency.

"I'll ask one more time. Where is she?" Pressing my wind pipe even harder, making me unable to breathe.

"L-let m..m-me g-go. I'..ll talk. C-can't b..breath."

He let go of his hand and I fall to the ground hard. I cough hard while holding my neck. He quickly grab my braid and pull my hair backwards.

"Where is she?" He threatened me with menacing voice.

With my quickly recovered strength, I punch his stomach. His grip on my braid loosen and I head butt his face causing him to step backwards.

I took a fighting stance and prepare to fight hand to hand since I can't find my sword.

"What are you up to?" I question him.

He decide to keep his silent and charge towards me instead. He's fast for his size and agile. I block a punch with my arms and I didn't expect his to throw so much force in it.

My arm hurts like hell and I'm force to take a few step backwards and taking a defend position. This is not good, my body is still recovering from my last fight against Michelle.

Plus I'm still slightly drain from my fight against that rogues earlier. I need to end this fight quickly and run back towards Riley and the others.

I need to find an opening and finish him. We exchange several punches later but I mostly put in a position where I must defend myself.

I start to grow wary because he still not showing a sign of stopping or slowing down. My leg starting to become weak and I fall on my knee.

"One last time. Where is she?" He added a growl this time.

"Kiss my ass."

He give me one last growl and shift. Then, he charge towards me with his jaw wide open showing his fangs.

This is it. My time has come and I can proudly say that I put one hell of a fight before I return to moon goddess's side.

I can meet the moon goddess finally and ask her. Why did she pair me with someone who rejected me. I close my eyes and welcome my sweet death.
