Chapter 24 Assassin
Tell me this is just a dream.
Zara
***
“Ahhh!” Zara feels the pain in her leg again, the treatment by the Alchemists is no doubt, they are great healing magicians. But no, if Zara is running right now, the wound that will heal will open again.
They continued to run, the horse’s neighing which had made Jeffry very alert. His hand was used to grip Zara tightly. Until Jeffry didn’t realize that Zara was in pain right now. The wound on his right leg has not completely healed and now he must be forced to run.
Zara is unable to continue her run, she falls on the ground and blood runs behind her white bandage which has come off a little.
“Are you alright?!” a worried look was evident on Jeffry’s face. Zara nodded slowly, her face looked like she was holding back the pain I was feeling.
Jeffry immediately bent down to adjust Zara’s white bandage very carefully.
“Why are we rushing Jeffry?”
“I thought someone came earlier, it seems my guess was wrong.” Jeffry raised his head briefly.
Zara nodded in understanding.
Jeffry ‘s eyes returned to focus on fixing the bandages on Zara’s legs. “I’m fine, nothing to worry about.” Zara looked at Jeffry’s face reassuringly, she knew that Jeffry was so worried about his condition.
“Shut up. And don’t talk. Anything.”
“Tsk! You’re always annoying!”
“It’s been a long time… it seems you can’t. Let me justify it myself!”
Jeffry did not respond. He looks very busy with his activities.
“I know you’re a doctor. But that doesn’t mean you can underestimate other people!” replied Jeffry annoyed glance at Zara.
Zara immediately chuckled. “Wow you are very funny Jeffry, are you offended by what I said?”
“No! It’s just that I don’t like to be belittled!” Jeffry was done with his work, looked up at Zara’s face who was holding back her laughter.
“Are you done? You took too long.”
Ctak
Jeffry flicked Zara’s forehead lightly. Slow for Jeffry. For Zara it hurts a lot. “What are you doing?! It hurts Jeffry!!” Zara snorted in annoyance while holding her forehead.
“Why sick?” asked Jeffry with a mocking smile.
“Jeffry!!” shouts Zara angrily.
Don’t want to lose to Jeffry. Zara pinched Jeffry’s nose hard. That sharp nose now looks a little red because of Zara’s actions.
“Ah!” Jeffry reflexively held his nose.
“Why sick?” Zara replied innocently.
Jeffry who did not accept immediately raised his hand to reply to Zara’s treatment.
Zara’s hand reflexively restrained Jeffry’s movement pushing Jeffry’s chest with all his might, but it turned out that Zara’s estimation was wrong.
“Sorry.”
Jeffry hugged Zara’s body, allowing Zara to feel how worried the sweet vampire was for him. The longer the hug, the tighter it gets. Jeffry’s breath, which had been out of breath, slowly started to settle down. Zara felt Jeffry’s breath brush the crook of her neck.
“Say it’s just a dream.”
“Looking after you is even more difficult than being a guardian of a large clan.”
Jeffry pulled his body slowly, observing Zara’s eyes that were staring at him intently.
“You idiot Jeffry! I’m fine. So don’t apologize.”
Jeffry smiled hearing Zara’s narrative, which always seemed sarcastic.
“Stay away!” Zara grumbled, she turned her face in any direction.
“Don’t look at me like that!”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Jeffry chuckled to find Zara who was flustered, and her blushing face lit up. “You need help?” Jeffery offered.
“No need I can do it myself,” Zara was trying to stand up.
Jeffry heaved a sigh of relief seeing Zara’s actions.
“Tsk!” Jeffery squeaked annoyed and grabbed Zara’s body, forcibly carrying her.
“Let go of Jeffry! I can do it myself!”
“One thing you should know. I don’t like being denied!!” Jeffry said with an intimidating face.
Zara pursed her lips, “You bitch!!” Zara’s hands itched to pull Jeffry’s hair and vent his frustration. But Zara failed to do that, because her eyes were focused on Jeffry’s flat face which made her cheeks heat up.
After that Jeffry was seen smiling faintly, staring at Zara’s annoyed face with a red nose as usual.
“Give us ours!”
Before Jeffry could stand perfectly, in front of him were creatures riding black horses, they wore long black robes and wore demon-shaped masks. Not only Zara who rolled her eyes, Jeffry also seemed surprised by the arrival of terrible creatures in front of him.
“Are you afraid Zara?” Jeffry asked looking at Zara’s face which was still in his arms. Zara just chuckles lazily.
“This time maybe we will finish, looks like they are not an easy opponent.”
Zara flinched. “But it won’t be easy to beat me either.” Jeffry continued his sentence.
One of them dismounted from his horse, gripped the sword that was so shiny and sharp and pointed it forward. They are even more like being called angels of death.
Jeffry lowered Zara slowly “Hide behind me and close your eyes you understand?” Zara nodded slightly.
“Akh! What do they want!! Why do I keep getting in trouble!” Zara thought angrily while hiding behind Jeffry.
Sring!
Jeffry drew his sword and held it steady.
“He’s ours!” he said as he stepped closer to the person he wanted.
“Give me immortal blood! He’s ours!!” one of them spoke, a truly terrifying voice, booming to fill the complete silence of the Dark Angel forest.
Zara inched closer to hide behind Jeffry’s back and closed his eyes tightly.
Next second
Brak!
Zara suddenly opened her eyes and Jeffry was not in front of her. He looked around frantically. Zara’s eyes found Jeffry, who was moaning in pain, thrown a few meters and hit a tree so hard that the tree fell. This is all the work of that creature. Even Jeffry hasn’t started attacking yet, the creature just swings its arms and makes Jeffry fly lightly like flying feathers.
“Jeffry!!”
Zara was about to run to Jeffry, but the creature stopped her first.
“Come with us! You are ours!”
“You bastard!! I don’t belong to you! You think I’m something you easily belong to!!
Zara shouted angrily without thinking about the consequences of her words. Zara steps back as the creature gets closer.
“Who are you guys?!! Why do you want to hurt me!!”
“Oh shit!”
Zara is cornered by a tree behind her, she falls down and again, blood oozes from her scar.
The creature simultaneously suddenly inhaled the air like a pleasure.
“This blood smells delicious.” said one of them.
“Come with us! We won’t hurt you.” Zara shook her head weakly.
“It will not happen!”
Jleb
Jeffry’s long sword pierced through the chest of the creature that almost grabbed Zara’s body.
There was no scream of pain, behind the mask was actually a smile, a smile that was really terrible.
The creature remained unmoved even though it was clear that the sword had stabbed right in the heart.
“She is mine.” press Jeffry on every word.
They unexpectedly removed the hoods of their robes, their masked faces now more clearly visible. Jeffry’s sword is still stuck there. Then they also took off the demon masks they were wearing. Their faces are now very clearly visible.
Zara watches them one by one, they are seven in number and with seven horses they are riding.
They were Legendaries in the Immortal world. The Seven Horsemen, or the inhabitants of the Immortal world as they were called.
