Chapter 27 : Escape Was Glorious
~VANNIE~
Vannie beat herself up about what she did in the fields till the next day.
What had she been thinking, jumping from out of nowhere to his defense? He would have caught the blade if he really wanted to! But instead, he'd hesitated a second too long, forcing her hand. Testing her, she realized, because of how triumphant he'd looked when her hastily muttered spell kept the short blade in suspension.
Oh, what she'd do for a time machine.
And she absolutely refused to think about how she would eventually manage to kill someone her instincts pushed her to protect.
"Daffodil, you're my only comfort now," she said out loud, kissing her pet's head. He let out a little howl and licked her hand. He was absolutely outraged on her behalf. "I know, right? Why did he have to be so cunny?" He yipped in agreement. Yes, her pup was her only ally.
They both jerked in surprise at the sharp knock at the door of the apothecary. "Who's there?"
It was Sin.
