Chapter 7: You're different
Those were no ordinary eyes " high quality you say? according to her that's not the case" huh? Wait don't tell me he heard me. " Who!...Ahh no great sir please ignore her , she is talking nonsense! She's just a slave I'm about to sell!" the pervert answered quickly while his eyes were glaring at me.
" If you tell me what's wrong with these, I'll welcome you to my pack" his pack? So I was right, he is the leader. I can't waste this chance so I approached them and wished to laugh when seeing the expression on the perverts faces. " This is disrespectful, I've been giving you these for years and you know they work! And you have no right to my property, she is my property!" The nerve of this man is disgusting.
As he was about to open his mouth again, the leader disappeared from where he was standing and the next thing I heard was a gruesome scream. The pervert was on the floor horrified at the sight of his own arms being held by the leader. The pervert now had no arms and he was losing blood. The leader's eyes landed on me and he asked" Are you also going to stand there and waste my time" I shook my head. I hesitated at first " I... I don't want to be in your pack, I'll tell you what is wrong and you tell them to let me go".
"Look at your situation probably, you still think you have the power to negotiate" said one of the werewolves, he had red hair and black eyes. I don't think he likes what his leader is doing" Calm down Zik, she's different. I don't kill 'different'. How about you tell me then I'll decide " I wanted to refuse but I really don't want to ruin his mood like that guy did.
" Most of the potions are low quality and the one he says kills poison is very dangerous. The magical ingredients are just mixed randomly which makes them poisonous. They kill poison because they are an even stronger poison. I agree that some potions especially low level potions have side effects but that is never the case when it comes to healing potions. Healing potions heal and that is it. It even sounds stupid that something that heals you will bring its own pain"
I expected to hear some doubt but there was no such...well I really can't read any of their handsome faces. They are all overly handsome, especially him but this isn't a first for me. " You sound like you have knowledge and experience with potions, I'd be a fool to let you go" no he can't! No I don't want to be taken by these monsters, it's also impossible to outrun or fight them. I'm finally out of that enchanted forest, I should be celebrating my freedom! Is my life still going to continue to be miserable" Because I value our friendship, I am going to buy her from you and we can continue to be friends, I'll be looking forward to our next trade" after saying that to the pervert who was still on the floor he threw his arms at him. They're werewolves so I'm wondering how they think I'll be able to keep up with them. It seems I'm not supposed to see how it turns out as I felt pain at the back of my neck causing me to pass out...
I was woken up by a splash of water on my face " get up princess, time to prove your words". I sat up from the cold hard floor I seem to have been laid on, the room had four beds and a small closet. A tree! More than one actually. Thanks to the small window I could tell this was somehow a forest. I've never been to an ordinary forest before, just thinking about how I'm no longer back there made a small smile blossom on my face. Another splash of water on my face made me snap out of it, it's about time I see the person who's enjoying splashing water to my face.
Red hair, black eyes and a strong jawline while he wore navy jeans and a black jacket. They certainly have clothes, not animal skin around their waist as shown in books. He was about to take another bucket but I was quickly on my feet. " I hope you're ready to make a potion princess, not just make it right, do a better one than we already have because if not..." You'll kill me, just say it and why is he calling me a princess. I know it's not a compliment judging by how he doesn't like me.
" The others are waiting so follow me" he turned around and gosh he was fast, well thank his long legs for that. After getting out of the simple but cute house that had a small kitchen, living room and four other rooms I saw that the place was indeed surrounded by the forest. There was a big four storey building, it wasn't fancy looking but it was beautiful, there was another two storey building. It was white and it seems that was where we were going. The last one was a black modern two storey house and I'm guessing that's 'his' house.
" This is where things like potions and other magical ingredients are kept, they are very valuable so if I hear you tried to steal something in there I am going to cut those little hands of yours" so far I'm loving the warm hospitality. He glared for a few seconds then opened the door for us to enter. Maybe my expectations were too high because what the hell is this. There were glass see-through cupboards attached to the walls and in those cupboards were magical ingredients and potions. Some ingredients were half ruined, some were rare but most were low level. The class cupboards must be special to be able to preserve the ingredients that were about to die. There was a small book shelve with some old looking books. A round table with symbols, and had some ingredients and a small paper on it. Next to it were three people who were waiting.
