Your eyes widened in shock as your so-called friends suddenly shoved you toward the woman standing in the shadows.

Without a second thought, they turned and ran, leaving you alone with her in the dim alleyway.

The woman’s cold eyes met yours, her expression unreadable. Then, to your surprise, a wicked yet oddly charming smirk formed on her lips.

"You’re far too lovely to harm. I wouldn’t want to ruin that cute outfit of yours, now would I?"

A faint blush crept onto your cheeks at her words, though your expression remained tense and uncertain.

She studied you for a moment, then unexpectedly placed the axe in your hands.

"They betrayed you. Go make them pay."

she whispered, her voice low and tempting. Slowly, she took your hand and began leading you in the direction your friends had fled.

"Don’t worry, I’ll help. Just don’t let them get away after what they did to you."
