Ivander as fast as he can pulled Eleanore to hide in one of the big tree to hide the two of them.
"Eh, why?" asked Eleanore confused by Ivander's sudden action.
"Shhh... Shut up." Ivander covered Eleanore's mouth with his hand.
Unconsciously the man was too close to Eleanore at this time, especially when Ivander tilted his body beside Eleanore to peek at what was happening behind the tree where they were hiding.
Actually the person who triggered Ivander's vigilance was still quite a distance from where they were. However, Ivander didn't want to go back to being betrayed like two thousand years ago, he had to increase his attention and be careful as Giovanni told him.
Ivander's eyes turned burning red again, indicating that the man was using his powers. This time, Ivander used his eyes to look for hundreds of miles to see who had triggered the alarm inside him.
Five hundred meters from his place, Ivander saw that the figure of a man with a white light in his hand was crossing the border forest without being afraid of the strange creatures in the forest.
"Shit! I didn't expect the Priest's successor to come so soon to look for me. That person must have sensed my presence from dripping bloods that damn werewolf earlier." Ivander thought as he cursed in annoyance that his whereabouts were immediately discovered by the person he had to avoid.
"Hey, I forgot what your name is, can you repeat your name so I can easily call you." Ivander looked down at his body where Eleanore was.
"You've never asked my name, idiot." Eleanore turned her face away from Ivander's face who was directly in front of her. "Just call me Eleanore," continued Eleanore saying her name.
"You're right," Ivander replied just remembering that he had never asked his guardian name, "okay I'll call you by your name from now on."
Ivander immediately grabbed Eleanore's hand again and rushed out of the border forest. "We don't have time, El!"
"El?" In her mind Eleanore was thinking hard, never expecting herself to be called using that nickname.
"Are you being chased by someone?" Eleanore trying to ask even though they were still running out of the forest.
"You could say it like that, I don't know why that person could find me so quickly." Even though Ivander ran while holding Eleanore hand, his senses of hearing were still focused on hearing the footsteps of the Priest chasing him.
"Damn! Why do we go too deep into this forest. That priest is behind us." Ivander cursed in annoyance when he heard that the footsteps of the Priest chasing him were getting closer.
"Why don't you just use your strength so we can quickly get out of this forest?" asked Eleanore in surprise at the Vampire in front of her.
"How can I use my power in front of that Priest, he will instantly know where I am, you idiot!" Ivander scoffs at Eleanore for not helping him.
Hearing that, Eleanore was shut her mouth up. Now they could only hope that the people who were after Ivander didn't catch them.
"We're close, don't worry." Ivander sped up his pace when he saw a flash of light in the distance.
Eleanore also mustered all her strength to run to keep up with Ivander's wide steps in front of her, she was really tired of running out of the forest.
Having managed to get out of the forest safely, Ivander pulled Eleanore to hide behind a bush that was not far from the edge of the forest border.
"Why don't we just leave right away?" Eleanore frowned in confusion as Ivander pulled her up to hide in the bushes.
"Shut up!" Once again Ivander covered Eleanore's mouth with his hand.
Eleanore rolled her eyes and immediately threw Ivander's hand from her mouth, then turned to see what Ivander was watching.
For about fifteen minutes they waited behind the bushes before a tall man with a white light in his hand came out of the forest.
Seen, the man was looking in all directions like he was looking for someone, Eleanore could see Ivander was frozen stiff as he watched the tall man's figure from afar.
Not daring to ask, Eleanore just sat beside Ivander while waiting for the tall man to leave.
However, what the tall man did was shocking to Eleanore, the man aimed his hand which spattered a white light above his head, the white light that had gathered in his hand began to turn into shards and fly to spread around the tall man.
"Damn, he wants to find me with holy magic!" Ivander stuttered when he saw what the Priest was doing.
Ivander quickly hugged Eleanore into his arms, "Get on top of me and block the white light, don't let my body get hit by that light." Ivander immediately gave instructions to Eleanore.
Eleanore was still stunned because she was shocked by what Ivander had done to her, with her mind still confused, Eleanore did what Ivander told her to do.
Eleanore slowly pushed Ivander's body back so that she could climb onto the man's body and block the white light from hitting his body.
Realizing that her faces were so close and face to face with Ivander's, Eleanore was trapped even more with the chaos inside her head. Eleanore was silent and stared at Ivander's bright blue eyes.
"Stay still in your position, don't move too much!" Ivander hissed at Eleanore who was right in front of his face.
Hearing Ivander's words as well as the sting of the white light hitting her, Eleanore woke up from Ivander's dangerous influence. When he saw that she was about to wince in pain from being hit by the white light, Ivander immediately hugged Eleanore's body and used one hand to cover Eleanore's mouth again.
Eleanore don't know that the white light from the tall man would affect her, she glared at Ivander and also kicked the man in the leg for causing her in pain.
After a few minutes of holding back the pain in her body, the streak of white light stopped and no longer rained down on Eleanore's body.
Ivander took the initiative to peek at the figure of the Priest who was chasing him and saw that the man had stepped into the forest, back in the direction he had come earlier.
After confirming that his pursuers had left, Ivander immediately pushed Eleanore away from above his body.
"You must be having fun on top of me!" said Ivander accusing Eleanore.
"What are you saying? I've blocked that damn white light for you and you accuse me with that. Look at this burned skin from that damn light!" Eleanore shouted angrily at Ivander who scolded her first.
When Ivander saw Eleanore's hand stretched out towards him, he could see how the girl's skin was burned from the white light from the Priest chasing after him.
Ivander sighed tiredly, feeling guilty that his guardian was injured. Closing his eyes for a moment, then placing his hand on his guardian's wound, soon the burned on Eleanore's hand immediately disappeared and healed.
"Sorry to hurt you and… Thank you." Ivander immediately turned around and walked away from the bushes leaving Eleanore alone there.
Eleanore was stunned after hearing what Ivander had said to her. Didn't expect the man to apologize and thank her.
"Aishh, he left me again." Eleanore immediately stood up from her sitting position and ran after Ivander who had already walked first.
"Hey! Wait for me, why did you leave me again!" Eleanore shouted for Ivander.
It was seen that Ivander just waved his hand to her and didn't slow down one bit to wait for Eleanore to catch up.
