The girl cleared her throat. "I'll lead you to the ruins."
"I thought you didn't know their location."
"I changed my mind."
Meaning, she was lying to me.
"Reason being?"
"I want your help."
Just some minutes ago she was treating me with respect and 'Sir' and all that. But when I said I didn't want her to call me that, she started to speak like we were friends or something.
I did like the not using 'sir' part. But her over-familiarity was getting on my nerves.
"I already helped you, saved you twice-"
I could see where this was going. The last time when I helped her, she wanted me to go fight for her country or something.
"And I'm eternally grateful for that but- I need, no want your help."
The trees were mostly just black. their leaves were also black. And as we walked ahead, the leaves kind of made rustling sounds. Sounds that only got worse with the groans coming from the undead in the background.
