Bab 66: She's Death

"Elena."

I didn't give Henry a glance and continued walking. He stalked me and called my name again. Because of irritation, I threw a dagger at my back without looking.

"Shit! I almost got hit! What was that for?"

I knew he was good enough to dodge that simple attack. He was not Mistress Hera's right hand for nothing. He was also partly my mentor when I was still training way back four years ago.

"That was for messing my mission, you moron."

"Messing your mission? You completed it successfully, so what is the problem?"

This time, I stopped and turned to face him. He stood still a foot away, towering over me.

"You know I like working alone, do you not? I do not need your help. It is my mission, you should have stayed out of the way. If you were bored, you should have searched for someone else you could kill."
