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.

THIRD FULL MOON NIGHT!

Ruth woke up to loud banging on the door of her chamber. She was startled at first, but when she saw Edwin peacefully asleep beside her, her heart was relieved.

She got out of bed and went to open the door, only to find Ida standing there with worry etched on her face. She was about to open her mouth when she caught Edwin's scent and then the sight of his sleeping form on Ruth's bed.

Even in that situation, she couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

Ruth's cheeks burned pink. She cleared her throat and asked. "What happened?"

The momentary small smile wiped out of Ida's face as the previous worry took its place.

"Luna, it's time."

Ruth blinked dumbfoundedly. "Huh?"

Ida pointed at the sky behind her that was visible from the door. Ruth took a step outside the door to see the sky had already turned dark, and the full moon was staring back at her in its full glory.

The realisation hit her like a bucket of cold water thrown at her face.

"Just give me a minute."
