Eli watched as the hunter’s eyes became darker, goosebumps stretched out across her skin.<span style="font-style: italic">”Damn hes intense”</span>she thought to herself.<br/><br/>Her lavender eyes narrowed on the hunter, it seemed they both knew how to press each other’s button’s. Heaven help her, she wanted to get out of this alive. Not end up quicker to her death. His sudden standing form loomed over her, a grin on his face.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"How about we take a 'Magic Oath'? I heard your kind does this when they want to make sure that their promises are kept. I know there is no coming back a magic oath, and no breaking it. If one betrays the other then death comes to claim the treacherous soul. Is this trustworthy enough for you?"</span>his words echoing in her ears. Was he serious? No hunter would willingly bind themselves to her kind. Not with that Oath spell. Eli shifted slightly her eyes looking into his her frame raising slowly as she stood firm now. He wasn’t much taller than her, but still he mirrored a predator that watched it’s prey.<br/><br/>Eli swallowed the lump that was forming in her throat,<span style="font-style: italic">her fear</span>. Her hands at her sides meeting at her center, her hands rubbing together. “This is no mere thing, neither of our people would take this kindly. One wrong word, one lie. Either of us could die, but if you and I are to come to a bridge. Then this would be the path to walk along” she said her eyes soft again, concern coursed through her.<br/><br/>She was nervous, for them both. She swallowed hard, her hands reaching out to him. her hands settling around his wrists her feet edged closer to him. If she were to look up his looming form would be only mere inches from herself. Taking a deep breath she steadied herself, never had she thought that one day she would need to ever speak these words to another. Her gaze lifted to the Hunter’s “Repeat after me”.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">”Heart to heart and mind to mind, let our spirits intertwine. Let no lie lay between, for harm to be and risk death’s cold embrace on thee”</span><br/><br/>Eli tried to even her breath, her heart pounded wildly in her chest. Again she swallowed the fear in her and gazed once again into the Hunter’s eyes. “Cut your palm, and then mine. And when our blood mixes, it will be done” she said as she offered him her palm. Eli closed her eyes biting the inside of her cheek trying to numb her erratic nerves. And her roaring mind to flee.
