“Ekatran no!” Shivana gulped, she had just realised what she had said she clasped her hand tight around her dagger ready to fight or run she did not know yet.
“Why do you stop me? Who are you to stop me?” he spat towards her face and scowled.
“We could use him……for information….then we can kill him,” she blurted out hoping that she had not gotten herself into too much trouble.
“Yes, yes good idea,” inside she was relieved but her heard exterior did not break. “I will go back to the other fools, see if they have not untangled themselves yet.” she bowed as he walked off.
Ranchard was smiling insanely, “Wont you let me go, pretty little girl? Wont you?” Shivana laughed.
“Flatter me will you? We are obviously not acquainted well enough!”
“I am higher than you, free me!” he demanded. She suddenly saw his mood change swiftly. But she didn’t care one bit. No. She dropped onto her knees in front of him, her head lolled to the side and she stared into his enraged eyes. She drew her dagger and toyed with it in front of him. She then held the dagger blade firmly in her hand again and drew blood once more. As Ranchard saw it drip his eyes lit up. And he watched as blood flowed to the floor. But her eyes were on him. Always on him. Then she spoke.
“Don’t talk down to me. Don’t be polite to me. Don’t try to make me feel nice. Don’t relax. I’ll cut the smile off your face. You think I’m afraid to react.” he just laughed at her. Bu the burning in her eyes was red hot. “ The jokes on you. I’m biding my time, looking for the spot. You think no one can reach you, no one can have what you have.” he was not a little taken a back and started to move away from her, squirming. She followed him crawling along the dusted floor. “ I’ve been planning while you were playing. I’ve been saving while your spending. The game is almost over so its time you acknowledged me. Do you want to fall not ever knowing who took you?” he stopped. Her face was just a few inches away from his, she whispered. “Tell me what happened…”
He was silent, his mind racing. “Shivana!” the she span round on the floor. “ I asked you to interrogate him! Not seduce him!”
She spat on the floor, she was furious at such a causation. “I was not!”
“Don’t speak back to me like that girl!” Ekatran’s voice rung the forest. She waited for her punishment
