Chapter 433

They couldn't have gone all that far. " 

Blondie motioned for not only us, but for the children hurdled at the corner not to make any noise.

" They must be in one of these houses, " the man who sounds like a man of authority says.

My heart beat ricocheted when I heard his words. 

If they're to search here like the others requested, I highly doubt we won't be found. All it will take is a little push of the door and we will be found.

Our magic won't be of help to us Because of how tired we're. The fight and flight took all the energy from us, and that's something you need in order to channel your inner energy.

" I don't think so sir. When they passed, they looked like they're on an urgent mission. I highly doubt they will lodge somewhere. It's obvious they must have gotten farther. "

I released a breathe. One I know I was holding.

It was obviously too loud if the look Blondie shot my way is any indication.

" There's sounds coming from here."

I don't need to be standing outside to be able to tell he was pointing at the house we're inside of.

"That's because there are mutts living in most of this houses. You need to start chase now. I think they've gotten farther than you can be able to catch up." The older man said.

I don't know why, but I felt as if the man who was egging the other to give chase is somehow helping us. That's the only thing that can explain his tactics of stopping the male from doing anything but run after our supposed escaped self.

"I think l will take your advice old man. If you happen to see them you will be rewarded handsomely." 

We heard the sounds of retreating footsteps, and after that... nothing.

We stayed in there for a long time after the males departure. Probably to get them to put enough distance between us.

"Who are you?" the elder one of the two children spoke up. Her voice as strong as a healthy child's own. Hearing her voice without seeing her one would have thought her healthy.

"This is a token for not saying anything despite your fears," Blondie removed a crystal from his clothes and placed it on her hand.

"Take this to the chief of the guards. Tell him the owner of the crystal sent you," Blondie closed her hand on the crystal. "I will want to see you someday alive and well." He stood up from his crunched position.

"Is she going to be helped?" I looked at him in question. My heart really doubting the validity of his words.

"If they luckily get to the palace. They will be helped," Blondie tried to ruffle my hair, but the hat placed on it made it real difficult for him to do so.

I guess am grateful for the hat.

"Let's go, Ije said, and in the same moment the door opened.
