CHAPTER 46

  Elizabeth's Point Of View

  "Come on," I stand up from my spot and dust my clothes. "Let's go win this thing..."

  There's too much at stake now.

  Days melted into nights and my memory only stores all of it as a haze of walking, arguing and more walking. The forest was getting thicker, the trees and vines blocking our path- it's not even a path actually, just a zig-zag go through. So I guess it's really our fault for doing this, not theirs.

  "Goddess, this is infuriating." I grumble as I push vines out of my view and stagger behind Sebastian.?

  How the hell can he walk through here?

  "Stop grumbling and focus," he calls back. "The roots are protruding out of the ground."

  "Whats next? Apes throwing rocks at us?"

  "I doubt it. The forest was cleared of most animals for the Hunt."

  I roll my eyes but don't say anything, as I do so, my gaze lands on a bright red feather ball on one of the lower branches of a tree.

  "Aww, just look at that adorable— eeek!"
