That was it, that was all it took to set Dimitri on attack mode.
Allison ticked her ear as she whispered to Belvedere.
"Is he always this foolish?".
Belvedere looked at her as if saying.
'You were the one who bought him not me'.
While both were having their chit-chat. Legolas had his heart in his throat. Running possibly as fast as he thought he could ever run. Only to have Dimitri behind him not even at any pace.
His legs hadn't even started moving as he turned to look at Allison.
Allison looked at Dimitri as she looked back at Smith. It was as though Dimitri had gotten the permission he needed.
He started taking slow paces toward Legolas. Legolas who was now in the vast field and felt like he has gotten quite a distance away from the bloodthirsty beast started to hear heavy steps which seemed close.
Turning around as he was still running, he could sight a thirsty Dimitri on his toes as he was making his way toward him at a steady speed.
Legolas knew that this was it, he would lose his life this time. Cause that fall just didn't do it. In fear his legs suddenly started to get weaker and weaker as he felt like he was slowing down instead of his speed to be increasing.
Legolas was so scared he started to trip on the grass. Was that even possible?
Legolas panicked as he looked at his toes which started to lose balance.
"Ah ah ahhhh" He shouted as he forced himself to keep up.
Dimitri suddenly started chasing after his prey like an actual predator. He stopped as he ran towards the sides taking another route through the bushes to get to Legolas faster.
He had hunted on these grounds before and he knew very well how things were being done. Running straight ahead would only make things a lot slower. But running by the sides would make you faster to reach your target.
Allison who was watching this scene immediately understood what Dimitri was doing as she has thrived on these lands.
"Smart". She complemented her pet first before her sense of reasoning came back.
'Wait, he's using that trick he's going to catch up to him'.
" Fuck! " She cursed in a low voice as she suddenly picked up the pace leaving Belvedere in complete turmoil.
"Madam!" He called out to her, but Allison ignored him as she ran ahead to catch up to Dimitri and Legolas before something goes wrong between her two pets.
Allison ran as fast as she could and before she knew what was happening. Dimitri stood in front of Legolas in a stand that was ready to attack.
She stopped abruptly.
"Legolas, don't do anything stupid"
She said in utter seriousness. He didn't even know how to react, the only thing running through his adrenaline at this point was to survive.
He was breathing quite heavily Allison could hear him as a result of her tenth sense.
If she heard him so loudly like this, then how much more Dimitri who had a fifth sense.
Legolas turned around as he looked at Allison with fear written all over his face.
Allison didn't want to look in his direction as she had her eyes on Dimitri now.
"He's gonna attack in twenty seconds, at the count of five I need you to run towards him, count down"
"So you know about that bird I showed you earlier on". Legolas suddenly questioned.
"Eighteen" Allison already started to count down as she looked at him like he was vested with stupidness.
What was this about?
'Asking me about this at the point of your death. I like how generous you are with your blood. But now is not the right time. She thought.
"Fifteen". She completely ignored him as she still had her eyes on her dangerous pet.
" Why didn't you tell me about this. Is this why you decided to punish me".
"Ten". She continued like she wasn't hearing any sort of questions thrown in her direction.
" You were scared I'll find out what you are which is why you quickly came back to get me out of there. But I cannot unsee what I have seen". He said as a matter of fact.
Waking towards him Allison held onto his right hand, and he felt a sudden force coming from her end.
"If you don't want to die seeing your head staring at your body in the mouth of that beast, you do as I say and run towards that bloody beast"
Walking further away from him Allison suddenly drew out a whip from who knows where, it was a thick black whip that had a surprising length. As she drew it kept coming out and Allison swayed in her movements as she spun causing the whip to twirl around her like she was summoning something. He could see blue energy spewing from the ends of the whip.
Legolas stood in awe as he watched the magic being performed.
The fuck!!
"Wait what"
"Five, four"
"I'm not ready to die yet"
"Two"
"You won't die"
Legolas looked at her as if she thought he had this stupid urge to die.
"Roar!!! " Dimitri let his teeth out as they were as long as the signs on his face.
Dimitri took his move first as he ran towards Legolas with all his might, much more than he had done in his former chase.
Legolas turned in Dimitris's direction. Seeing the bloodthirsty beast, Legolas had the adrenaline to run toward him.
Allison still stood behind him, as if she had a plan.
Legolas in his speed suddenly ran forward.
Allison counted down to five to pick up her own pace.
She knew exactly what she was doing running behind Legolas.
If Dimitri was to see her running towards him, he'd avoid her as she wasn't his meal.
The only way she was able to get the whip around his neck was to sneak up on him.
Running behind Legolas, Allison had a sudden feeling ignite inside of her.
It's like she has never used the whip since the last time Dimitri had gone out of control and killed brutally almost everyone that lived on these lands.
It was an outbreak that she was too surprised to process what was happening until almost half of her guards were gone.
Looking at Dimitri run towards Legolas like that Allison has this sudden regret in her heart.
I have to chain something important to me for someone who I feel is going to be very important to me.
Allison looks at what you found, you can't blame this on me. She said to herself like she was a third person.
I wish I had a warning, she didn't know why but she couldn't resist the taste of Dimitri. In the same way, she couldn't resist Legolas when she saw him at the Kebrund market.
Realization hit her.
Maybe I'm not that wicked after all.
