Chapter 30 Keep your enemies closer
Both didn't look tired, they looked determined to win. While Dona looked very serious, Hazel licked her lips and smiled lightly, satisfied by the marks she put on Dona's face.
Suddenly, they both ran to each other but Hazel jumped high, landing right behind Dona and putting her hand on Dona's neck and trying to strangle her. Dona knew what she was trying to do and immediately fell on her back, it hurt both of them but she was able to free herself from Hazel's hold.
Both standing again. Hazel's eyes suddenly glowed red and Dona's glowed white. The men in the training room had surrounded them at this point, hailing and cheering both of them while having the time of their lives.
Dona's hair was glowing white while Hazel's hand looked like it was covered in smoke.
It didn't take long after that for them to attack each other again.
Kael who was originally in his study couldn't help but hear their noise and go over to see what exactly was going on. When he got there and saw Hazel looking like that, he stayed still, surprised by how fast and detailed her movements were.
Indeed, she had grown in the last five years. Yes, she was strong when they were younger but she constantly held herself back because people already labeled her a monster. She wasn't sure if she would be able to control herself. But seeing her now, not only is she able to control herself, she is even a lot more powerful than she was before.
He noticed the smoke covering her hand and looked back at her face. That was when he noticed her eyes wasn't just red, it was glowing red, like fire.
At this point, Dona was lying down with Hazel in-between her legs as she strangled her neck but suddenly, she let her go, making the men look at her sad that she didn't finish it off.
Some where yelling in dissatisfaction while others were hyping Hazel to stand up and fight.
But soon, both ladies went on their fours and looked out the window before looking at each other.
Before anyone could explain what they were thinking, both ladies went straight to the window, jumping right out of it and shattering it.
Kael's eyes opened wide and he immediately rushed after them as did Miguel.
“I didn't know the new luna would be so strong and entertaining”.
One of the men said as the watched all four of them run into the woods.
They ran pretty deep before they stopped and looked at each other, their eyes coming back to normal as they tried to catch their breath.
“Did you see her”?
She asked and Dona nodded.
“But I didn't feel anything. If I hadn't seen her, I wouldn't have known she was there just… watching”.
She said and Dona kept breathing heavily while looking around.
“What if it wasn't her”?
She heard Hazel speak and turned to her immediately.
“What do you mean? Who else could it be”?
She asked but Hazel stayed quiet for a while.
“Hazel”!
She heard Kael yell and as soon as she turned to see him running to her, he jumped in front of her as an arrow flew towards their direction.
As soon as Kael got to her, he immediately caught the arrow with his hand. The arrow was just a few inches away from his eyes but luckily, he was able to stop it on time.
Hazel's eyes was opened wide and Dona had her hand over her mouth in shock.
He soon threw the arrow on the floor and turned to her.
“Are you okay”?
She asked and he nodded as he placed his hands on her shoulder.
“Are you okay”?
He asked and she nodded.
“I'm fine”.
Soon, they went back to the mansion and took Kael straight to the healer.
He healed pretty fast even without the help of the healer.
Hazel and Miguel stayed with him while Dona soon excused herself.
Meanwhile, in a pretty dark and hidden building, Rave was in a mask when she slapped a man so hard, he could feel his skin falling off.
“What? You wanted to teach them a lesson? Did I ask you to”?
She spat out angrily and moved closer to him, making him cower in fear.
“I strictly said no one is allowed to go close to Hazel unless I instruct it”.
She said and he immediately knelt down.
“Please forgive me my lord, I didn't mean to offend you, I noticed you were worried so I tried to find some information for you. But an opportunity presented itself so I took it”.
He said and she smiled lightly before she began laughing like a maniac.
She placed her finger on his chin and raised his face aggressively.
“You… crossed the line”.
She said and he nodded.
She placed her entire hand on his face and her eyes immediately glowed green before he began to yell.
“No, no please”!!
He yelled as his head began to burn in a green fire. Soon, he was reduced to nothing but ashes and a surge of energy suddenly entered Rave, causing her to raise her head as she took it all it.
Whenever she kills people, she took in their remaining essence and power, making her even stronger.
When all of his essence entered her, she dusted her hand and looked at his ashes as she rolled her eyes.
“Such nuisance”.
She said before walking out.
Dona was sitting in the garden, with her eyes closed when she heard someone's voice.
“I thought you'd be here”.
He said and she immediately turned to look at him and stood up.
“Miguel, you…”
She wasn't sure of what to say so she stopped talking all together.
“Are you okay”?
He asked as he moved closer to her. She raised her head so she could look at his eyes but immediately swallowed, wishing she didn't raise her head.
'damn it, he's so handsome'.
She said but immediately shook her head and looked down.
“I'm fine”.
She said and turned.
“I need to leave now”.
She said but just when she was about to leave, he pulled her closer and before she could fully stand straight, he kissed her.
