*Soren*
Payne hissed at Eros, snapping his jaws and pawing the ground.
At my command, everyone else stayed perfectly still. Mila clutched her backpack but she was also frozen in place.
Despite his heroics in saving Ashley, she seemed to be the only one willing to turn a blind eye. I knew where I stood and I agreed with Payne. Eros was malicious and dangerous. It was time to end him.
“Please, Payne…” Ashley begged.
Payne, still in wolf form, looked in my direction. I shook my head, letting him know that it was up to him what he wanted to do. He looked at his sister and I saw his hesitation.
Arrows still flew around us but they were coming slower and less frequently. I had my suspicions as to why and it only meant that I still had the upper hand.
Suddenly, Eros smirked, showing his true colors yet again. Saving Ashley, taking an arrow, it meant nothing to him. His eyes reflected his malice.
He lunged at me again.
