Chapter 11
Friend or Foe?
Taskin staggered over to the table, he smelled of very cheep brandy. Akina had to hold her breath, he looked just as bad too.
"Don't you think you've had enough Taskin?"
"Wut are ous sayen?"
At that he collapse onto the tabletop, Akina pick him up, and walked out of the bar. Near a river, by the edge of town, Akina through Taskin in. With a sudden gasp for air, Taskin was awake again.
"What did you do that for?"
"Considering you were as drunk as an old man, I thought I'd save you from humiliation."
Akina had her back turned from the river; Taskin was sneaking up on her. In a flash, she was pulled in under the water. She tried to brake free, but Taskin held strong. When he finally did let go, she had to bolt to the top to get air. They played around like this for hours, until that feeling came again, and then a voice.
"Follow me, I will show you the killer..."
It was hidden on the wind...'Elf magick' Akina thought. She clamored out of the water and pulled her hair back in a ponytail. Taskin didn't hear anything; he just looked around to see what Akina was focusing on.
"The oak tree!"
Akina ran as fast as she could to the oak tree in the center of town, Taskin just stared blankly at the place she was once standing.
"I wonder if she'll take the bait?"
"I think she will, she's a child. She'll believe anything."
Two shadowed figures stood with their backs to the alley wall, waiting for Akina to come. Waiting to catch the child in the trap.
