26 A Staircase and A Door (1/2)
”Give me your hand,” I say reaching out a hand to grab Envy's hand that still had the knife in it. Blood was steadily trickling out of the wound, it was green...his blood. He didn't object or move as I examined the wound.
Using my other hand, I grasp the poorly made hilt of the knife and quickly pull it from his palm. He doesn't so much as sound much less a squeak as I remove it, giving it one more look I throw the blade to the side. Not the slightest bit interested in the crap weapon.
”Mistress, when did you become the caregiver type?” He chuckles, drawing his hand out of mine and I could see the flesh knitting itself together already.
Rolling my eyes, I look at the two goblins that are dead in front us. Their eyes are wide open an expression of shock etched onto their grotesque features.
”You're still one of my pet's aren't you? One should take care of what is there,” I replied calmly. Twisting my head I look around making sure that there are no other goblins that are lying in wait for us.
However, there's not the slightest bit of movement. Looks like we'd killed them... for now at least.
”Tch, touche'...” Envy mutters giving me a glum look.
”We should keep moving, I don't like being down here,” I told him moving forward, I step over the dead goblins and continue down the fireline path in front of us.
”I'd dare say that we have stumble into a place that we shouldn't have,” Envy laughed as he walked next to me, twrilling one of his knives in his hand.
”Or we've stumbled someplace that we're meant to be,” I snorted reaching a hand up to touch the jade neckless around my neck. I knew that time was ticking for my cute little kitten.
”Indeed that is one way to look at things,” he chuckled as he tilted his head to look at me with a mischievous smile.
Shaking my head, I walk on feeling a sense of urgency and fear take over my body. Something was telling me that I needed to hurry, that if I didn't something bad would transpire.
Clenching my first, I start to run heading forward.
”Oi! Where are you running off to Mistress?” Envy shouted, but I kept running.
The marble floor made a slight clicking sound as I kept running, the pillars flew by me in a blur as I ran. A couple of ghost flew by here and there, but I quickly cut them down.
If felt like I was flying, it was incredible, it was like I floating I was going so fast. Soon the long marble hallway becomes brighter and brighter.
Till I catch sight a staircase, I come skidding to a stop in front of the stairs.
Thump...
Thump...
