cross

【Seven】

The soft touch between the lips made Joseph lose his mind for a moment.

It is as light and soft as cotton candy, and it stops when a dragonfly touches water.Joseph grabbed the slender wrist and pulled it closer when the girl whispered. Suddenly, his eyes that turned red suddenly narrowed slightly, tinged with danger:

"Miss, are you trying to seduce me?"

He leaned down slightly, his blood-red beast eyes tightly locked on the girl in front of him, but his cool fingertips caressed her cheek, admiring the girl's red face from a close distance, like a bunny with fried fur As if trembling slightly in front of him.

The girl breathed unsteadily, her black eyelashes fluttered nervously, and a trace of panic flashed very quickly in her violet-like eyes.She wanted to back subconsciously, but he held her wrist tightly so that she couldn't break free at all.

"It's what you said... I... I don't have anything to give you. If there is anything precious about me, it's probably the only one..." She defended in a low voice, her voice became softer and her expression became pale. It was getting redder and redder, like clouds of clouds blooming on her face.Unable to dodge, the girl could only move around to avoid the disturbing sight from the werewolf. Although she tried her best to keep calm, but hearing the faint howling of wolves in the distance, she still subconsciously grabbed her hands. sleeve.

But the person in front of her didn't seem to see her anxious appearance. The gold-plated wolf head handle on the exquisite cane lifted the girl's chin frivolously. It wasn't until he saw the girl holding her breath nervously that he chuckled inexplicably:

"Although it's a bit perfunctory,... I always keep my promises."

"Since Miss cares so much about those human beings, you can do as you wish."

He finally let go of her, raised his hand and snapped his fingers in the air.A wolf ran out from nowhere, and the ferocious beast that had chased the girl all night lay docilely in front of Joseph, its obedient appearance was eye-opening.

Joseph said something softly to it, and it stood up and ran towards the woods again.

"Is this all right, sir?" The girl looked at this scene with some hesitation, and pleaded in a low voice worriedly: "Can you go back and have a look, I'm a little worried..."

"Miss, are you suspicious of me? If I remember correctly, those humans have guns, even if they are attacked by wolves, they will not die for a while." With a restless look, fingers twirling the silver-gray curly hair around the ears, he lacked interest: "Since you are interested, let's go and have a look."

Joseph didn't care about the life and death of those insignificant people, but he still let the girl run away, and when the little rabbit confirmed what he wanted, she would naturally follow him obediently.

As Joseph said, after the wolves retreated, the hunters were indeed unharmed. Although they were somewhat injured, their lives were not in danger.The girl breathed a sigh of relief: "Great."

After tossing all night, it was almost dawn, the girl looked at the hunters in the wooden house from a distance, and said softly: "I hope you find your companions soon and leave here safely."

Naturally, such soft words could not escape the sharp hearing of the werewolf. Joseph's ears moved slightly. He raised his eyebrows and slowly loosened his tight neckline: "I remember this is the way down the mountain. I don't know how Miss got here?"

"I... I'm lost." The girl was caught off guard and said falteringly when asked.

"Really," he chuckled, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his lips: "The lady must follow me closely, and don't get lost again."

【Eight】

The sky gradually brightened, and the road back was finally no longer completely dark, but gradually became clear and visible little by little.

The werewolf walked among the rugged mountain roads, like a gentleman strolling in the courtyard, walking gracefully and calmly at the front with an exquisite wolf-headed cane, and the speed was not in a hurry.

Beth Fenley silently followed behind Joseph.After running all night, she no longer remembered the original direction, and her sore calf kept protesting to the girl. She couldn't help but sneak a glance at Joseph.What was disappointing was that he seemed unaware of the girl's lack of physical strength.Beth Fenley could only persevere, and at the same time began to hope for the first time in her heart that she would return to the werewolf's castle as soon as possible.

Once again secretly rubbing the sore muscles in her calves, she began to look around to divert her attention. As she walked, Beth Fenley noticed a dark figure on the ground not far away.

"what is that?"

Joseph paused, followed the girl's gaze and looked over there. As the two approached, all kinds of animals that felt the aura of werewolves fled quickly, and the dead bodies on the ground were exposed in front of the two without any cover. .

"This is……"

The corpse was tattered and torn, with many bite marks on the body, and only bones remained in many places.The girl only glanced at it, then covered her mouth with an exclamation, and subconsciously moved a little closer to the person beside her.

Joseph only needed to take a look to know that this man had been dead for at least two days... The reason why the body was still preserved until now was nothing more than the aura of monsters on his body, which somewhat frightened all kinds of carrion beasts in the forest.He glanced casually, then looked away, and cast his eyes on the girl with a pale face.

How could a spoiled girl see life and death, let alone such a dead body? In front of this scene with a huge impact, the girl subconsciously approached the only existence she could rely on, completely forgetting that he was in a different position from her werewolf.

However, after a while, she gradually calmed down, and began to look at the dead person boldly: "I don't know who this person is, but he died tragically here..."

I saw that the scarred hand was holding a broken dagger tightly, and it was stained with black blood.Almost subconsciously, Beth Fernley thought of the exorcist who didn't know the ending, but she immediately dispelled such thoughts.

The clothes left on the body were obviously different from the leather clothes worn by the exorcists, they were just very ordinary cloth.Beth Fenli saw a shotgun on the ground not far away, and suddenly thought of something: "...Could it be that he is the companion Marta and the others are looking for?"

Beth Fenli sighed unbearably, and mustered up the courage to step forward and draw a cross on the forehead and chest of the corpse, and closed her eyes for him: "May the gods bless you to return to your homeland, and may your spirit rest in peace in heaven." ..."

Joseph stood quietly aside, watching the girl praying softly. She closed her eyes lightly under the gradually brightening sky, her soft black hair curled slightly on her shoulders, setting off her fair skin.The delicate eyebrows and eyes are hazy in the faint morning light, and a small black mole is dotted at the end of the eyes, making the gentle and soft face even more inexplicable.

The werewolf calmly tapped his cane with his fingertips, staring at the girl in front of him with jewel-like animal eyes, his blue eyes narrowed slightly, and the tip of his tongue lightly touched the roof of his mouth, reminding him of that superficial kiss.

The morning wind blows through the mountains and forests, and the early spring is still slightly cold, but there is a little more subtle and unspeakable restlessness.

A black crow stayed on an ancient tree not far away. Its blood-colored eyes met the werewolf's blue animal pupils. The crow flapped its wings slightly and flew into the woods and disappeared.

After Beth Fenley prayed, she looked at the dead in front of her with some confusion in her heart. Human beings should not appear in this cursed land. Creatures in the darkness... will always belong to the darkness. What they bring, will always be All disasters.

Thinking about standing up like this, but forgetting the soreness and numbness of the muscles on the legs, the poor blood circulation caused the feet to go soft, and fell backwards unsteadily——

She fell into a hug with a silky ink and a cold fragrance. The werewolf gentleman hugged the girl's slender waist from behind, lowered his head and asked in his melodious and magnetic voice, "What's the matter?"

Although it was a questioning tone, but there was a hint of a knowing chuckle, and the warm breath hit the sensitive ear pinna viciously, and the fair skin burned red again.The girl lowered her head in embarrassment: "My... legs are numb."

Of course Joseph knew that the girl couldn't walk anymore, he held the corner of his mouth unobtrusively, but smiled gently: "Then, can I still walk back?"

"Sorry..." The girl's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Not knowing how long it would take to walk back to the castle, Beth Fernley had to bow her head to reality.Joseph picked her up again, as if he didn't see the embarrassing blush on the girl's face, and walked towards the castle with ease, and said slowly, "If Miss didn't run too far, maybe I wouldn't have to work so hard." ...isn't it?"

Beth Fenli knew she was wrong and covered her face: "...I'm sorry."

Joseph had warned her before leaving, but she was still involved in the dangers of the mountains.If she hadn't been lucky, she might have ended up the same way as the dead hunter at this time.

"As I said, you can run away, of course..."

He pretended to chuckle slightly, as if he could see her vacillating mind, the wolf ears on the top of his head moved slightly, and he uttered gentle but malicious words: "There is no prey that can escape from the wolf's pursuit." escape."

The girl was silent for a while, quietly staying in his arms, like a docile little rabbit... until the werewolf's castle appeared in the sight of the two, she suddenly said: "Will I die, sir?"

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, her little face was pale and fragile by nature: "I'm so scared, my ending will be the same as that hunter..."

Joseph's footsteps paused slightly, and after a while, he slowly said, "No, you are a werewolf sacrifice, it's..."

my belongings.

He took a meaningful look at the wound on the girl's ear. The prey that had been marked by the werewolf would never escape again.

The girl wanted to say something, but Joseph had already put her down, and took her to the previous room without refusing: "I think you probably need to take a break, miss, it's not a good habit to think wildly, is it?"

Beth Fernley was indeed very tired.

After a whole night of fleeing, physical and mental exhaustion has reached its peak... cheer up and glance at the sky that has begun to brighten outside the window. The night has receded and the sun is about to rise. From time to time, birds flutter their wings from the forest. Celebrating the coming of another morning.The black crow crouched quietly on a high branch, and its blood-red eyes no longer looked scary.She lay down on the bed, and soon fell into a drowsy sleep, her spirit falling into boundless chaos.

I hope this time...no more accidents...
