A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper.

USED HER POWERS AGAINST HIM!

Edwin was on the floor at Rees's feet, unconscious and with burnt hands. Rees slowly dared to look up a few feet away, only to look away instantly in awkwardness.

There was Ruth, her long toffee brown hair dishevelled, her skin red. Bluish marks of bites covered her neck and chest. Her lips were bruised and bleeding as she panted.

Her body was covered in sweat. Fiery red light danced on her fingertips as her eyes blazed in dark orange.

There she had done what she didn't want to ever do with Edwin.

She had used her powers against him.

Before Rees could say anything, he caught her fainting from the periphery of his vision. Ignoring her torn dress and the exposed skin, he quickly ran to her and caught her in time before her body hit the floor.

What the hell was going on here?

"Darius"

Darius ignored Hilton's call as he busied himself in throwing blades at a target. They had halted for a break, and Darius took that opportunity to practice with his blades.
