Chapter 8 - From arguments to disaster

Traversing through the foliage as quietly as he could whilst still keeping up with the child was a task even if it was a child nevertheless is was still an elf and bipedal giving it an advantage over Eren. After around 10 minutes of chasing the child finally stopped sitting in a hollow tree with its head buried between its knees sulking quietly.

*In the household of the noble family Ascerot* High up in one of the trees closest to the elven castle a mother and daughter could be seen arguing.

"Why not mother?, I want to start magic classes why wont you let me?" the little girl persisted.

"Don't mention this matter again!, you will go when you are of age and not a day less young lady, I will not talk about this matter again!"

"I HATE YOU!!!" before the mother could open her mouth to scold the child she had already ran out the door followed by a loud *BANG!* when she slammed the door. With tears streaming down her face she ran as far as she could away from her house fearing that her mother would tell her off she was also angry at her decision to not let her attend the magic classes. After running aimlessly for a while as fast as she could she finally curled her arms around her legs and buried her soft cheeks into her knees still sobbing to her self until the hairs on the back of her neck stood up and suddenly felt a sense of impending doom.

Now no more than a few meters away from the little elven girl Eren couldn't hold in his excitement until suddenly she twisted her neck and let out a blade of wind aiming for his head. While dodging the incoming attack the wind blade hit the lower half of his body chipping of a few scales and giving him a dull pain where it hit.

"You bastard Eren tried to say" all the came out was an angry hissing noise directed at the girl that made her shudder.

(Poison Gland),(Weak Point) A red dot glimmered on the girls ankle and in the next second before the girl could muster up another attack the blob of poison had sunk into the flesh of her ankle after she conjured a stream of water washing it off. However the damage was done and the girls fight or flight kicked in as she dashed away, her only option was to run into the forest further as Eren had blocked of her path of a safe escape on purpose knowing she wasn't an easy opponent. Dashing as fast as she could whilst whaling for her mother caused her lungs to breathe heavily and her breath get deeper… she was running out of stamina quickly while the serpent was getting closer to her already damaged ankle with every stride she took.

Without any other option and her stamina on the ropes she made a last ditch effort exerting herself to the max conjuring up a large fireball aiming towards where she thought Eren was, although as she let go of her magic and looked behind her he was no longer there!. Stopping in her tracks her head and eyes moving as fast as they could to try to find him were to no avail, Eren when chasing the child saw her stamina draining predicted the all out attack now after climbing a nearby tree located above the child's head as she was still stuck trying to find him.

Dropping down slowly from the tree above her head his tail held all his weight as it constricted around the branch until he was now only half a meter above her head (Flash Strike) as the girl looked up from the sudden sound she exposed her soft neck and Eren's fangs slipped right into her like butter siphoning her blood at a ludicrous rate leaving her arms weak and her eyes growing dim.

*sssssssssssssssss*

Letting out a long moning noise the taste of her blood was nothing but divine he almost couldn't believe his taste buds, after sucking out every single drop he decided to leave the body as he wouldn't have time to devour it. Luckily just after he had left two elf's clad in steel armour arrived at the scene examining the body with anger and hatred plastered on their faces.
