Chapter 379 Hunting

She looked at the sky that was turning crimson. The slight warmth that was still left there was also covered by the strong winds that were breezing. As if they were singing a song to calm her raging heart.

Why does it feel like it will rain tonight? Now all she wanted was to finish this hunt as soon as possible and go back to the palace and rest.

She had to agree that the horse Rafael had chosen for her was best. it was easily taking over all the other horses, in just a few minutes she was the one who was the fastest.

Now all she had to do was to instruct the direction of the path to it. It was intelligent enough to control that speed and she did not need to pull the reins again and again to force him to run faster.

This was going to be easier than she had thought. She kept her eyes and ears open as these woods were new to her. Hazel pulled the reins of his horse to stop it after riding for long.

She frowned and pulled the reins and moved the horse to the left side when she saw the arrows pointing there. It was a sudden turn as she had already taken one just two minutes ago. She turned to see if anyone was around but no one was there.

She scanned the area with her hands on the crossbow. She had come deep in but surprisingly she had not seen either any person or beast no matter how much she had ridden.

With a frown on her face, she took out the map Declan had given her.

According to the man, she should be in the main areas of the assigned hunting ground then why was there not a single soul?

She found the situation odd! Just when she was about to send a signal to check if she was on the right path, she saw a white fox running behind a small rabbit.

Her eyes glowed when she looked at its fur. Rafael would look good in white. She smiled as she held the reins of her horse and gave it a pull.

The horse soon started to follow the fox. Though she was still vigilant about the fact that there was no one in that area, she let the thought go in a while.

Her eyes were on the hunt. She was sure that even if they had a plan, it was not going to affect her. All she needed to do was to win.

Once the horse was galloping well, she let go of the reins and took out her crossbow to attack.

Her eyes were settled on the white fox. Pulling the arrow, she shot the fox right at its middle part from the left.

The fox gave a loud raspy bark as she tried to attack Hazel but Hazel shot right in her head this time.

The fox fell limp on the ground. Hazel dismounted from the horse when she was sure that the fox was dead.

She walked closer to the fox and dragged her towards the small cart that was attached to the horse.

She held the fox with some force and she put it inside and then held her white little rabbit that tried to run away.

“Do not worry, I am not going to kill you. But you will be my bait for the next hunt.” no matter how much the rabbit tried to run away, it was not able to.

When she walked back to her horse, the sound of “howl!” and hasty running paws caught her attention.

Her eyes glowed. If she would be able to kill a few more than she would be done before she had expected.

Just as she mounted her horse, a pack of wolves ran to her.

The gray wolves were staring at her with a predatory look. They covered her from all directions and the single horse was nothing in front of the dozen of them.

she could smell blood on them. Though there was a very subtle smell in the air, I could smell it due to her strong senses.

She prepared to turn her horse back when she heard howls, and it was very near.

“You have to be faster here!” she shouted and gave her horse a gentle kick and it started galloping again.

She continued to look back in between and soon she saw more than a dozen wolves following her. They must have heard her horse neighing and the sound of galloping.

“Faster!” she shouted as she kicked it again, this time hard and it put more pressure. its speed increased further and now they both were at the competition.

she was sure they were going around 32-35mph. But the wolves were still catching up.

She turned and shot one wolf from her crossbow, making sure that she used the poisoned arrows that would kill the horse instantly. the horse neighed again making her wonder if it could understand her actions.

The speed of the horse was too fast and she was having trouble moving. She somehow was successful in transferring her both legs to one side but now she was having a hard time taking her left leg to the other side.

She was afraid that someone would see her using powers. What if their eyes were already on her?

She had to make sure no one was around, that was why she was restrained from using her powers. But if her horse was injured, that would be the end of it.

“Finally” she was able to sit backwards on the horse and attack the wolves that were following her freely.

she took the crossbow and started to aim the wolves, this was the real test of archery as the shooter and the enemy both were moving.

She aimed at the one closest to her and then threw the dagger straight at the space between its eyes.
