Chapter 150 Crisis
bender
"Still not coming out?"
I shouted, looking in a particular direction.
My perception repeatedly screamed at me that someone was there behind those shady trees.
"Oh, you can perceive my presence?"
"Interesting."
A shallow voice, just like the rustling of leaves, came and disappeared when I was about to look back.
Although the pitch was low, I was sure the voice was similar to those incoherent words that both I and Beatrix heard in our heads, which told us to move down that dark path if we wanted to get out of this strange place.
"We shall soon meet again, Mr traveller."
Roohie, who was secretly observing Elandor, disappeared out of the blue with a snap of her fingers.
Her lips were arched up, if Elandor could see, he would surely find it very creepy.
How can someone with such a vile smile and shabby-slave clothes even call herself a priestess?
Hearing a snap of fingers, I looked even more closely to that particular direction but this time, I felt there was no one.
It was clear: the person who was hiding there had disappeared using some means.
One thing I was sure of was that the voice belonged to a woman.
"But what does she mean by saying we will meet again, traveller?"
"Doesn't matter, let's first follow after that Beatrix or she might get in some trouble."
It was already some good minutes since Beatrix had disappeared, like her, I too walked in that dark path in front of me.
It was really a ghastly feeling, the road was too narrow and full of gravels. The bushes on either side were covered with thorns and the thick canopies didn't allow any sunlight to fall towards the ground.
It was not easy to tread on that difficult path.
Because of such terrain, I could only follow after Beatrix much more slowly than I had in my mind.
To make matters worse, I could even hear the growling of wild animals like wolves and bears, occasionally.
"I guess I need to hurry!"
.....
On the other side, Beatrix was in a somewhat elated mood.
By her rough estimate, it should already be 20 minutes since she last parted with Elandor.
With this hard terrain, she was confident that it would take some good time for Elandor to reach her.
Instinctively, she put her hand on her stomach.
"So am I really pregnant?"
"Is that bastard speaking the truth?..."
"...….hmmm, I can feel my bloodline is much stronger than before, this must be what he meant when he said now we share the same bloodline after having sex!"
"I want to punch my stomach and kill this vile seed sprouting in my womb but why do I feel so hesitant?"
From the day she turned adolescent, Beatrix dreamed of having a child with her lover
Now she had a child, but that child didn't belong to her lover.
Many times she wanted to hurt her stomach and take her life thereafter, but the fact that by doing so the unborn child in her womb too will die, everytime held her back.
Every time she held back, the more the desire to take revenge upon Elandor intensified.
Now, we can safely conclude that she was at no risk of committing suicide.
Grrrrrrr~
As she was about to step forward, a loud hunger pang from her empty belly came.
She felt a little embarrassed. Thankfully, she was alone in this forest so no one was able to witness it.
"Damm, that bastard Elandor rolled with me so violently on the ground."
"All my energy is exhausted because of him, even my legs are so soft from the second I got up."
-The immoral evening before flashed by her mind as she gritted her teeth upon recalling that Elandor showed no mercy.
"He said he wanted me, so why wasn't he gentle?"
"If he would have been gentle, I wouldn't be in so much pain."
Every then and now, frequent insults of Elandor kept coming out of Beatrix's mouth.
She herself was not aware that she rarely thought about Louis after waking up in the morning.
Her image looked no different than a girlfriend who was throwing tantrums at her boyfriends after a fierce fight.
But Beatrix's thought-process was quickly broken as she heard a strange sound from the bushes on her right side.
Her curiosity instantly turned to despair as a big lion jumped out in her view.
This lion was much different than your usual lion. Its figure was much bulkier and teeths way longer, extending all the way till its feet.
Beatrix was sure, if she got entangled in those razor-sharp teeths, she would be ripped apart right away.
If Elandor was here, from his rich experience of watching sci-fi movies, he would have shouted- a mutant beast.
There was no time for hesitation as without any second thought she turned back and started running at her fastest speed.
The lion beast, being enraged by the mere prey running away, growled loudly in anger.
That mutant lion beast had been hungry for quite some time. By luck, it found such tasty looking prey, how can it let the prey run away?
At a pace much faster than Beatrix, it chased after the running girl.
Beatrix's heart was full of panic, although she admitted that she wanted to commit suicide an hour back but now things were different.
Now her head was much clearer, she can't give up her life that easily. She still hadn't taken her revenge on Elandor, she still hadn't spoiled his life like he spoiled hers.
And that child in her womb? She still couldn't figure out what to do with it!
There was so much unwillingness in her mind.
She didn't want to be killed and eaten by that big lion chasing after her.
But her fate had something else in planning.
There were lots of piercing wounds on her smooth skin as she brushed past all those thorny bushes but how can she outpace the beast behind her back?
She screamed loudly thinking someone might come to help, but she realised she was alone in this forest, who will come to help her?
In desperation, sensing the predator was near…..to get away she tried to climb a tree.
It was at this point an accident happened.
Her foot slipped on the slightly wet grass as she lost her balance.
The mutant lion beast, seeing the opportunity was perfect, leaped over the fallen Beatrix.
Its intentions were clear. It's open fangs wanted to bite Beatrix's neck and kill her in one go.
