Chapter 18: The Hunt

“Let’s get two things straight right now, Ma’oz.” Journee snapped. “I am still furious with you for not telling me about the repercussions while trying to manipulate me into making my 3rd wish.” Journee was suddenly out of breath as she finished her words.

“And the second?” Ma’oz raised his eyebrow at her, his lips stretched into a lazy smile.

I mustn’t come across as weak. Clearing her throat, Journee widened her stance and placed her hands on her hips. “I…” her voice came out funny. It is way too high pitched. “I will NOT be making anymore wishes.” She firmly stated her resolve. I will not be sucked down this path again.

To her dismay, Ma’oz’s only response was a smile.
