Chapter 12: Kidnapped

The moment we realized we were surrounded, we also realized we couldn’t attack. Risa and the three guys were all restrained by large elderfel with sharp daggers pointed to their necks. Panic gripped my chest as I looked at them helplessly, afraid I had just gotten them all killed. I immediately focused on Risa, seeing that she was actually unconscious in one of their arms, but still alive. They must have had elderfel watching from the forest when she put the fires out.

They knew she was dangerous.

I focused on one elderfel in particular when he stepped forward. He looked like a panther, his black ears and tail very similar to my own. His voice was deep as he spoke in the human language with a hiss. “You have two options, abomination. Either we kill everyone here, or you come with us willingly and we let them live.”

I felt Eli tense at my side, and I knew immediately why they were doing this. They knew they couldn’t defeat Eli, which meant they had to bargain for me. Either I died, or our friends did. However, I knew Eli would never let that happen. Even though we hadn’t known each other for long, I felt like our feelings for each other were already extremely strong, especially now that we had finally proclaimed ourselves.

Which meant I knew what I had to do.

I looked up at him apologetically as my blue ethereal chains ensnared him and he dropped to the ground. He looked at me in utter confusion, but I turned my face away to speak. “Very well. I will go willingly, so long as you swear not to hurt them. However, you should know that the moment I die, these chains go away. If you knock me unconscious, these chains go away. And if you do kill any of them, including trying to kill him, these chains go away.”

The black panther gave me a toothy smirk and agreed with a nod. “You have my word, on the name of our goddess Alabast. We are only here for you.” Something stirred inside of me when he spoke the name of a goddess I had never heard before, but I quickly pushed it aside.

The panther immediately had his elderfel men lower their hostages to the ground. I cringed when the three guys were knocked unconscious too. The black panther then looked at me expectantly.

I took a step away from Eli, and then another, putting some distance between the two of us. I knew they were going to kill me, but I needed to make sure they understood that they would have to do it far away from here. Otherwise, Eli would kill them.

The half-dragon was struggling ferociously against my chains, but my ethereal bonds sealed magic so there was nothing he could do. I heard him begin pleading with me, but I used every ounce of my concentration to ignore him.

I reached down to unstrap my sword, only to remember I had left it in the wagon.
