Scheming Seraphina (2)

Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

Aldus told me that Fynn demanded that there will be no electronic surveillance inside packhouse or around it, for their privacy. It's just me and Ari in the hallway, so whatever happens will stay between us. No wonder she came here arrogantly to put me in place.

Ari is faster and stronger than me and has no problem bullying the weak.

I looked at Ari who was getting in my face and spouting nonsense while waving the knife carelessly, and I got an idea.

She was brazen because she saw me as weak. Well then, I will show her my weak side.

I lifted my hands like I want to shove her away, and her arms moved in an instinct to prevent me from touching her. Ari was fast, but the sharp pain in my left hand told me that I've got my target.

I pressed forward until I felt the hilt of the knife hitting my palm. Bullseye!

"AHHH!", I screamed as loud as I could.
