Chapter 21: Unanswered Questions With A Madman
The room became smaller than it was meant to be, his mere presence seemed to eat away any form of space and replaced it with a suffocating box Isadora struggled to breathe in.
What does he want with her? Why kidnap her and act as if he would use her abilities for personal gain and then suddenly want to dispose of her?
None of his actions made sense since the day she met him, he was nothing but a cluttered individual: his unusual ways and his tendency to find jest in the worst condition.
"Why do you want me dead?" Her questions were nothing but a puff of smoke because Kraven just sat there with a cheeky smile on his lips watching her like he was having a pleasing thought of what to do with her.
Whatever he had in mind, Isadora did not want to find out. The man was insane to the core.
Isadora got more frustrated by his silence, choosing to insult him and be done with it. "Does a madman not know what to do with a mannfae?"
Finally a response from him but only a raised eyebrow, a spark of intrigue in his silver eyes, with an eerily glow to them in the dark. Such eyes were fascinating but on him, it felt like a scourge.
"I can think of a thousand ways to kill you," he spoke in a velvety voice. "Like first throwing you off board"
Isadora's angry expression morphed into one of horror, she had spent days traveling with this man and yet he still conjured ways to stun her to the core.
"But that would be terrifying, wouldn't it? Drowning in the dark sea, unable to breathe" he voiced as if he could vividly picture it—and him on board watching. "Tell me, Isadora"
A cold chill crawled down her spine.
"If I let you go, where would you run to, hm? I told you already this realm isn't kind to outcasts like us"
"I'm not like you!"
The doors barged open as two men in unusual attire stormed in. Isadora rose to her feet keeping her hands behind her to conceal the dagger.
"Thornfoot was right, she is a mannfae, look at those ears..." one of them said, his fingers donned in rings, several piercings on their faces too.
"Easy... remember the orders," the other said before flashing her a grin revealing silver teeth. "We're taking her unspoiled. Damaged goods are no good"
They both chuckled and took a step closer and Isadora aimed her dagger right at the hand that tried to grab her.
He cursed as blood dribbled from his palm. "By the olden gods!" he swore and came for her and Isadora screamed her lungs out as she tried to defend herself but her advances were nothing more than a weak animal trying to fend off two beasts.
Her skill with a dagger mocked her situation and made everything worse.
She shrieked and thrashed as they grabbed her, kicking and punching as she could and one of them got impatient and attempted to land a hit on her face but a dagger struck right through it and he wailed in terror.
The other turned to attack the intruder but halted when a blade pierced his chest, the blade redrew prompting the lifeless body to drop to the floor.
"Greet Daudi"
Only the sound of Isadora's uneven breath could be heard. She stood before a dead body once again, why does she keep finding her way into a situation like this? It was too much!
The wailing of the other echoed and it wasn't silent anymore.
Her amber eyes darted to the door and Kraven stood there unfazed. Gradually he walked to her and took her chin in an iron hold. "You've got a lot to learn, love"
Isadora spat on his face.
