Chapter 439

"Never have I seen a power as cool as yours," she touched my hand as if it can produce ice when her hands touch mine.

The others girls looked at me in awe. Even Ije wasn't lost in the fan girling. The were all looking at me as if somehow I've managed to get an additional head to the one on my shoulders.

"As much I would have loved to stand here while you all look at me in admiration and awe, we need to leave. 

I don't think the ice will stay for long, at least not with the sun already rising."

The ice doesn't look all that strong to me. If anything it looks like something that can be easily melted. In a time like this, we need no such things. 

"That's true, we have to be on our way." Blondie was the first to speak up. Being the one who first broke up from the fan looking.

The gate from what we can make of it from the distance between us and it, is guided by more than ten wolves. Each strategically placed from the others. Their eyes trained on the buildings behind us.

"Why are there more than five wolves?" Blondie looked at the werewolves. His face etched in a frown "Never have a gate being guided by more than five soldiers."

We're currently in one of the rundown houses. This one unlike the others looked a bit strong though the things in it have been ransacked more than half a dozen times already.

Aside from the wooden windows which kept on dancing as the wind sang for it, there was nothing wrong with the house.

With good care, and cleaning, this house will look as good as new in a week's time.

"They must have heard news of us that's why they were increased."

I bet the streets we left will be full with people searching for us.

"That will be the case." Blondie looked at the gate.

"How can we get past the guards?" Ije asked. 

Elit would have being the one to ask such questions if she wasn't currently roaming the rooms of this building, in search of something Worth taking. 

As if a place like this will have something of value in it. Anything of value must have been taken by the first ones to come here. 

The foot steps on the dusty stairs is enough to tell you this house have been frequented by more people than can be easily counted. 

The tables that would have made a good sitting place for me wasn't with a complete legs. Some looks like they're missing one leg while some looks to be missing three legs.

There was nothing of value in here. Nothing that haven't being scavenged by the homeless mutts here.

"We go through the guards. That's the only way for us to leave here. Staying here isn't an option. None of us will survive a day more without food, " Blondie have his eyes fastened on me as he said those words.
