Chapter 17

Not far from the entrance of the settlement, a group of ominous unkempt group of women buried themselves in the sands, their greedy, hungry gaze looked towards the entrance. they watched and held their breath as Zane drove out.

Seeing him go far from their sight, they signaled each other to move out. they walked out openly to the settlement, the guard's eyes flashed with horror, and one was about to sound the horn.

But her severed head fell from her neck, her eyes opened in shock. the other one saw these and was scared out of her mind ''Please.... let...'' were her last words before she was separated from the waist down. their blood sank into the soil, drying up without a trace.

The burly woman was walking to the entrance whistling in joy at her future reward, her whistle came to a slow stop when she was faced with a group of bloodthirsty women, seeing their blue eyes, she grew cold. ''maneater'' her mind screamed these words in chilling fear, all her body grew cold. ''no no..'' she stepped backward gearing to escape and shout for help. But she met her death, stabbed through the throat by a bone knife.

''Tie up their bodies. Be Careful their meats are precious, dark, kill, you both get the red-haired, our benefactor said she does want to see her alive. Go!'' the leader of them instructed the two giant women in their group. They nodded and went in another direction.

''kill, but let their men live, to produce more for us.'' the settlement people were treated as cows bred as food. they scattered.

''ahhh...

''please....

''no...

Horrified screams filled with pain and sounds of flesh tearing and copper scents of blood filled the air.

Cyra sat up, she had an uneasy feeling. she felt restless for no reason and she didn't know the cause, she walked around the tent unable to relax. she heard the sounds of heavy footsteps and knew it wasn't Zane. Zane appears like a ghost.

She edges to the entrance, her eyes peeking from the open slit, she saw two aggressive women slashing open Zane's tent and her heart sinks. She got a weird cold slimy feeling from them, and her body rejected them instinctively, all the hairs on her body stood up.

One of them noticed her and alerted the other one, then walked towards her tent, she moved back in fear, her teeth biting hard on her lips in fear and helplessness, sweat dripping down her chin.

'what should she do? these people are dangerous.' her eyes flashed as she looked at the closed tent walls, she tore at it trying to make another entrance out of there. but it was too late, the tent entrance was torn open. the woman named Dark entered first and smiled creepily at Cyra.

'hehehe...What a premium meat, but you have little flash on you...we can manage, we are not picking.'' she looked at Cyra as if selecting a piece of pork to eat. Cyra's blood ran cold when she heard these words.

''Wm not tasty. my meat is poisonous,'' Cyra said with a nervous smile that looked worse than crying, her nails digging into her flesh trying to stop herself from having a panic attack and that would make her situation dire.

''haha...'' dark laughter came out harshly as she walked unguarded towards Cyra not feeling the need to be cautious.

Seeing her coming close, Cyra moved back, her heart beating fast, her back pressed to the tent walls, and her mind flashed to the scene of her hand stained with blood. she heaved finding it hard to breathe.

''stay back... '' she doesn't want to kill. but the woman walked closer, sneering when she saw her pathetic state.

''Dark stop playing with the prey. time is running out.'' kill shouted from outside urging her to be faster, they didn't want to meet the white-haired demon(Zane).

''A minute.'' came a dark confident tone, she raised her bone knife, to slash Cyra open, but she couldn't bring it down. She was shocked when she saw Cyra's bloody hand holding the knife firmly.

''it hurts!'' Cyra's tone came out blank, her eye was a blank eerie space. she smiled, and her other hand grasped her neck.
