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. "Ruth!" ******************* They say that there are only two types of people in the world - good and bad. Good people get happiness in their life while bad ones have to pay for their wrongdoings.

ALRIGHT! I AM LEAVING!

Lester and Edwin reached the woods a few minutes before the given time by Mrs Payne. They had made sure that no one was following them. Edwin did not like this idea of meeting in open, yet he understood that there was no safety in or near the old building either.

Five minutes later, they heard the footsteps coming from the direction of the way that led to the town. Mrs Payne appeared from behind the tree with a bag of grocery items in her hand.

"I did not know we are having a picnic here Mrs Payne." Lester joked, raising his brow at the old woman.

"If we were having a picnic then I would have made sure to ask you to carry this heavy bag young man!" Mrs Payne sassed with unmatchable confidence.

Edwin used his werewolf speed and went to take that bag from her.

"Please, allow me." He said politely.

Mrs Payne smiled at him, giving the bag in his hand. It indeed was heavy for her old age.
