Done. Dusted. Deceased.

"Well?"

Her eyes darted around to see Raevin standing behind her. He had a mad look in his eye and a smile strewn over his face. Else, he looked almost prestine, as if the fight had done nothing at all.

"Stare? We going on?"

Breath rushed out of her again and she nodded, twisting around.

I can fight as best as the rest of them, she grumbled.

Yes, but they are not as worth as much as you.

Her eyes turned over to him and she stared in a moment of disbelief at her. Raising his brows he looked back at her, then lifted a finger to point back to the wood.

We're going that way, Stare.

She grunted and turned, but could not forget what he had just said. She was truly worth that much? Even more than Raevin? Was the what he was saying now? She wondered if he had such restraints on him like she had? A hidden cuff? Maybe an earring, or a document proclaiming Raevin his property too?!

Raevin swore his fealty to me a long time ago. I don't need to threaten him as I do you. You still resist me, despite the last six months of knowing who I am.

Her eyes lowered but she pressed on into the trees, taking the point. Switching back into her sight of heat she left the slowly cooling carcass of the dead spider. Of course, there may be more. Though spiders were solitary hunters usually there was a chance at some breeding in one area. Personally she did not like larger-

It was easier said than done. Suddenly from the other side, opposite to where the first spider had come from suddenly four huge bodies were surging towards them. Stare yelled out, swinging in that direction as the red figures rushed at them.

The guards turned, confused as the dark forest hid the oncoming rush. But they prepared themselves none the less, and once more Stare was shoved to the back. She growled, feeling more that her gender was what was causing this now. They surged, all four of them now, as a single company, expertly falling into step beside each other.
