Moments later, the sounds coming from the outside of the temple were no longer audible, the two girls tensed up wondering what the outcome of fierce battle was. Was the intruder defeated, or was he the victor, the two girls silently prayed it was the former.
Marley's throat went dry when a tall man with jet black hair walked into the room with a bloody blade in hand. Had he been sent by Marpessa? The brunette tightened her grip on Hermoine and glared at the man, fear and dread coursing through her blood like venom.
Cherlynn stood up in front of Marley, her hands defensively hiding the girl from sight, and glared at the tall man.
"Who the hell are you?!" Cherlynn yelled.
Considering that this strange man had defeated the huge bodyguards who were standing gaurd at the entrance, Cherlynn knew she had no chance against this man. But she couldn't let him get to Marley so easily, she had to distract him till Apollo arrived at least.
