Chapter 8 - Chapter 7: Owen

It's noisier than usual.

Unlike my usual habit and since all the tables were full, I was sitting by the counter drinking as I waited for my bounty's prize when a loud bang made the dinner go silent for a moment.

When it comes to mercenaries, bar brawls were not strange occurrences.

But for some reason my senses are...ticking(?)

shouted a young woman

Shouted a green haired young man back

Then he started mimicking her in a ridiculous way Saying <"Reed, I hate my Papa~ You are the only one who understands me">

She slapped him

<"That was nothing like me~" Yeah Right like anyone would belive that!>

She slapped him again This time she hit him with her hand bag.

A laugh drew my attention to some hooded figure sitting by the counter a few seats away.

it was a small figure, that of a young woman...probably?

She inhaled

The woman by the counter laughed

And then a loud Bang, The two jumped at each other's throats and fell on a table, rolling in stew and gravy sauce.

The inn keeper called for security and the two were pulled off each others.

As they dragged them away I caught glimpse of a strange mark on the back of both their necks...Couple tatoos??

The woman by the counter said something in a quiet whisper.

And when I tried to take a look at the marks on those two again...They faded.

A strange feel of uneasiness came to me, I have seen something similar to this before a long time ago...and also just a few hours ago.

The woman called for the man behind the counter and ordered a drink.

A few minutes short, her drink was ready and she started drinking when heavy footsteps approached the counter.

It was large man, with a round belly and a face that screams trouble.

He laid a bloody bag on the counter

The employee peaked at the inside of the bag and shriekd in fear when he discovered what was inside.

The bag tipped over the counter and a decapitated head rolled over the ground to where the girl was sitting.

She looked down at the stains of blood on her cloack, and the lifeless head at her feet.

Everyone expected her to jump in fear or cry out of shock...but she didn't. She just kicked the head away and turned to finish her drink after saying

The large man chuckled before walking toward her. He picked the head, and brought it next to her face.

Yet there were no reactions for a solide minute until she said

The man laughed He played with the head opening and closing its mouth

The woman let out a deep sigh before setting her cup back. She motioned to the bartender Who replied as he scurried to her unable to look straight because of the head.

She clickzd her tongue

The bartender went silent for a moment

She sighed again and then tossed the cup to the ground making the crashing sound resonate

She twirled and walked away before the Large man grabbed her cloack and pulled her hood off revealing black straight hair like obsidian and pale skin.

The large man whistled

I stood up from chair the moment I recognized her face. She's the fairy from the willow forest!

He tried grabbing her by the Waist but in a split second, she twisted his wrist with a swift movement before whispering something in a low voice.

Suddenly, a mark appeared on the back of the large man's neck before he stood up and walked away the moment she told him

She quickly threw the hood back on her head before speed walking towards the exit.

I followed her to the woods before stopping her
