Capítulo 277: Child's play

The Pippin clapped its hands in front of its face and summoned a slingshot loaded with a glowing black stone emitting sparks from its jagged, unpolished surface. Pulling the rubber back, it raised the slingshot and looked at Arabella.

"I really thought you wanted to be my friend. But you betrayed me, Bella. It hurt me a lot!"

Arabella hobbled forward and forced her mouth open to mutter a feeble apology. "I am really sorry. I never meant to…hurt you. This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been trapped by friends."

"They deserved it!" The Pippin shouted back as it took aim.

"Go on…then. Finish it," Arabella mumbled, her hand still clutching her bleeding shoulder. "I know you can't do it because you're just a kid."

"I am not a kid!" The Pippin retorted angrily. "I'll show you I can be cruel too!"
