Serano quickly recovered his composure and began to sneer. “Ah. Ariann. Back again?”
Ariann stood her ground as the wildcat began to prowl around her. “Yes, I’m sooo glad to be back.” Every one of her muscles was tensed for action. “I see you’ve trained your idiots, Serano.”
“My idiots? That’s offensive. Only I’m allowed to call them idiots.” There was a small noise of protest from Fleafur. Serano whipped around, pull a dagger from its sheath and hurled it. Fleafur’s eyes glazed over as he grasped the dagger handle that seemingly grew of his stomach. He slumped back against the wall as Serano continued as if nothing had happened. “And yes, I have trained them. They took your weapons this time.” Ariann’s piercing green eyes grew even colder. Serano even kills his own servants, she thought. What a nice reward for faithful servitude. Although it helps me. On less guard to kill.
Serano ran a paw to the scar on her shoulder. “It’s such a pity that I had to give you this, Ariann.”
Ariann fingered the tiny dagger on concealed on the inside of her belt, her movements concealed by her overly large tunic. She could kill Serano now and be done with it. “A pity? Why?” Her calm voice betrayed nothing.
“Why, a pity to marr such beauty, of course.” Ariann whipped out her dagger and held it to his throat. “Tell me why I shouldn’t do it.” She whispered. “Tell me why I shouldn’t avenge all the fathers, mothers, young ones you’ve murdered.” The blade pressed closer, drawing a line of blood. Serano’s came up and grabbed the back of her neck, then pushed backwards. The squirrelmaid stumbled, and Serano grabbed the dagger out of her hand. Pushing her back against the wall, he knocked her on the head with the daggers hilt. As she slumped to the floor, he answered her. “Because I have more to kill, more to conquer. And eventually, Ariann, I will kill you too.” The wildcat swept out of the cell, slamming the door behind him. Ariann rose from where she had been feigning unconsciousness. “Are you willing to bet on that, Serano?” She murmured to the air.
