The Assassin
I look around, afraid to move, knowing that once she remembers that I’m here, the fight will be back on.
Because my head is facing to the left side of her body, I can just barely see the rope, still attached to her back leg, if I move quickly, I can get to it. From the corner of my eye, I see a flash of emerald green above us and I know Avani is here, watching and waiting for me to fail.
I have no intention of failing.
I rip my teeth from Zephyr’s neck and leap off her back shifting in mid-air and grabbing the rope. She turns, startled, but I don’t wait. I toss the rope over her tail, quickly tying it to her leg, crippling her but not disabling her.
