*Chapter 11: The Next Move*
Aria couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. She glanced over her shoulder, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Still, the feeling persisted.
As she walked through the crowded streets of Ashenhold, she noticed a figure following her. He was a tall, imposing man with piercing blue eyes.
Aria's instincts told her to run, but she hesitated. Something about the man seemed familiar.
Suddenly, he stepped forward, his eyes locking onto hers. "Aria, we need to talk," he said, his voice low and urgent.
Aria's heart skipped a beat as she realized who the man was. It was Elijah, a former member of the Angels Dragon Mafia who had gone rogue.
"What do you want, Elijah?" she asked, trying to sound calm.
Elijah glanced around nervously before responding. "I know what you did, Aria. I know you delivered the package to Gabriel."
Aria's eyes narrowed. "What do you want, Elijah?" she repeated.
Elijah took a step closer, his eyes burning with intensity. "I want to help you, Aria. I want to help you take down Vraxxis and Gabriel."
Aria's mind reeled as she considered Elijah's offer. Could she trust him? And what did he hope to gain from helping her?
