...Instead of killing Peony, Nedie was going to kill both of them. Both Brunos and Peony.
"Hey!"
Brunos managed to attract her attention just in time.
"Who are you going to kill?"
Nedie looked at him confused. Then, as if realizing something, she glanced at the sword in her hands. It lay straight parrallel to her belly and Peony's. It would have been a matter of seconds then it would have pierced through Peony's stomach, appearing behind her to implale Brunos who was as close to her back as her skin.
"Are you sure you'll be able to stop it before it also stab me?"
At his question, Nedie shifted her gaze from the sword to Peony's belly then to Brunos's face.
"I'm sorry!"
With that, she took a few steps and stood facing Peony's profile. Not wasting any second, she pushed the sword with incredible speed, forcing it to penetrate through Peony's waist and emerge from another side looking as red as blood should be.
