The Huntress and the Wolf

Emilia's POV.

Amidst the echoing chaos of the scintillating city of New Orleans, I ran through the streets, the echo of Diana's men boots thudding behind me.

"Stop running Emilia, just surrender and face your punishment"

I needed darkness to conceal myself but the light in the city was never ending. Before the men got to close I took cover in one of the labyrinthe alleyways and ran into Liam's unfinished skyscraper.

"I didn't think you'd find me so soon Kaden!" I yelled.

He broke off from the remaining men and followed me into the building.

"Oh, but I always find my prey," Kaden said.

Kaden pulled his pistol and shot at me but I deflected it with my sword.

"You know I'm innocent so why are you still doing this!" I asked.

"I don't care about justice Emilia" He chuckled, "I enjoy the thrill from hunting weak little things like yourselves"

"You're insane!" I yelled.

"Insanity? Perhaps. But what fun is life without a little chaos"

He changed his walking speed from a speedy walk to a full on sprint as he charged towards me. I dodged his tackle and scurried up the stairs. Without hesitation he started running after me.

"Emilia, don't run from me!" He taunted, firing off stray bullets into the air.

I fled with every fiber of my being, but my body betrayed me. I stumbled on the stairs, falling flat on my face, with Kaden just a few steps behind me. He reached for my ankle and grabbed it tightly.

"Why are you running darling?" Kaden snapped. I could taste the stench of decay on his breath. With a desperate kick to his face, I broke free, dashing to the rooftop, but he wasn't too far behind.

"Leave me alone!" I yelled at the top of my voice.
