CHAPTER 38 Severing Ties

  Olivia's POV

  I growled as I turned to face the witch, instantly launching myself at her and managing to position myself behind her. A witch was easy enough for me to take out from this position, and in seconds I had her knocked out, throwing her against the tree and watching as she spat out a mouthful of blood as she slid to the ground unresponsive. But Emily didn't react at all to the sight, she clearly had no personal feelings towards the people who fought for her. She was calm enough to walk towards me at a leisurely pace.

  The next moment, Emily attacked again. I barely dodged the claws that almost gouged a deep hole in my neck. It was a close call, but I managed to avoid getting hurt again.

  I kept an eye on the witch's movements while also closely watching Emily. Damn it, because of this fucking curse I was already running out of what little strength I had left. Even just avoiding attacks was already very difficult.
