Chapter 6

Not even twenty minutes later the scent of the Russian's grew stronger, "I'll lead the rest of the way, it would be best if they caught my scent before your's,", Anfisia moved in front, "when we arrive say nothing and soon you will be gone." "Gone?" I question her choice of vocabulary. "Left alone and sent free to do your business, of course." I nod in agreement. "I see this agreement turned out to be very advantageous for the both of us, you may spread the word if any of your people ever find me. For may be they will spare my life, not that I could not handle them to begin with, but to spare bloodshed is good, is it not?" "You still think of us as monsters do you not?" She takes in my expression and continues, "Simply fear of our name only increases the hate of our name. Do you not think we do not know this?" "So you are not monsters, but you acknowledge your...infamous reputation and use it to increase your respectability?" Anfisia and the rest of the group slow to a stop. "How did you come up with that answer?" Vlad asks with astonishment from behind. "I read through the lines, yet then again it was not too hard to see as you all continue to deny the rumors but never try actually to support your said 'argument' of not being, evil I suppose." I start to walk again, feeling slightly embarrassed and very much under heat, the rest follow. They all look at me bewildered, "How the fuck is what you said have to do with anything that she just said?" A warrior says from the back. "Does no one else see the congruence between them?" Luka laughs, "If we are talking within the realm of mathematical terminology; I see the equation and the sum, but no I do not see the coursework. B minus you unworthy twit of a student." At this everyone stops looking at me to look at Luka with the same confused stare and I join them. "What? Math can be funny." "Luka, not now." Anfisia pats him affectionately on the shoulder. After that, we all walked in a general silence. The trees moved and swayed in the breeze, and the moon gleamed brightly through the foliage. After awhile we began to see and hear others.
