A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper.

[Bonus chapter]FOLLOW HER! BUT BE CAREFUL!

Mrs Payne was concerned for Ruth. She did not want her to fall prey to Theodora's another treacherous scheme. Mrs Payne would not have left Ruth alone in the clutches of that vile woman if her sudden trip was not that important.

Even though Ruth had a fair idea about her powers, and she had by now practised them well, her kindness stood in between her and the use of her powers.

Ruth was still hesitant about using them at her will.

But then again... Mrs Payne could not blame her. It was all because of Bertha. That woman made sure that the little girl would transform into a kind and morally strong woman.

Mrs Payne had hired the coachman to take her to the nearby village, which was a few miles away from Vincardine. The journey was about six hours long. They had left Vincardine far behind by the time the Sun indicated the afternoon.
