Prey 2

She opened her eyes wide in surprise. I knew she had sighted the lion because she wanted to speak when I put my hand in her mouth.

"Speak softly." I mumbled and she nodded. The lions were busy devouring the horse, unconcerned that we are here because they had spotted a prey.

"Be quiet, you don’t want to attract attention, speak softly." I muttered.

And in the blink of an eye, the lions were in front of us. Roaring at us with their mouths covered with blood. I have no strength to fight and no sword. I quickly grab Lucinda's hand and whisper in her ear.

"Run!!" I exclaimed, and we started running together away from the lions, who know I will have to run from animals one day.

We started running and I realized that the road was leading us back to the place where the lions were. I looked back and found out that they were already gone. I halted and started catching my breath when Lucinda also stopped and stared at me, catching her breath.

"We need to find a way out of this place, even if we can’t find Queen Luna." I said

"Yes, we really need to find a way out." I added, and she closed her eyes.

"Husband, I need you." She called out.

But Lucifer did not respond. He was smiling continuously.

"And now she needs me." He whined.

"Honey, I really really need you." She stated

"He can’t hear you, he is not available." Lucifer replied.

"What do you mean you are not available? You are the one I am talking to." Lucinda said pissed. She didn’t know why he was acting that way, but she was furious because of his behavior.

"I need your help, I am in a strange place I know nothing about." She added.

"That’s none of my business, that is your punishment for not obeying me." He said in a cold tone.

"Please, you know why I am here trying to kill Queen Luna with Ralph to earn his trust," she whined.

"You have already earned his trust, but you are not seductive enough, that's why he hasn’t realized he likes you yet." Lucifer stated.

"So what do I do? I promise to stay out of this if you help me."

"I am not going to help and that’s final." He said.

"Please, I am begging you." she pleaded, but got no response. She sighed and opened her eyes, and Ralph weirdly stared at her.

"Queen Luna!! Ralph started yelling.

"What are you doing?" Lucinda inquired, but he ignored her.

"I give up!!" Ralph yelled, and she disappeared in front of them, levitating in the air. holding her wand tightly.

"So you give up cowards, I thought you wanted to kill me, I didn’t know you could give up that easily." She remarked with a creeping smile.

"Well, believe it, I want you to get us out of here, and we promise not to try to kill you again." Ralph said.
