Episode 21

They were cheerful and calm, almost as if a giant sinister creature wasn't disrupting their flow of life. The villagers vehemently stared as Bethlehem stepped forward towards the chief. "Where exactly is the hydra so we can finish the job? " She asked zealously.

The chief hopped on to one foot then the other. He turned around walking off much to the couple's confusion. He snapped his fingers and a group of men started rushing towards them.

" Bethlehem! '' Nathaniel shrieked. Bethlehem was able to get the townsmen off her, do a backflip and get her whip. She then whipped her whip, which then circled around one of the men who was on top of her leg. She then dragged the whip, causing him to trip and slide over to her. Nathaniel then took a silver dagger, flipped it and aimed the blade over the man's heart.

"Don't say what you're going to say." Bethlehem squeaked. The chief matched her bleached look. He started to stammer all over the place, flailing his arms all over the place. "Oh god no my dear child. We've got plenty of blood for the year. More like our cattle had been stolen."
