The snakes body jerked violently , and it fell to the ground , writhing .
Freya gasped as the creature was and pinned to a tree by a gleaming knife , its blood splattering against the bark standing beside her , her tone calm but her eyes scanning Freya for injuries .
Força bönked up at too stunned to respond .
Slowly , she touched her cheek where the snakes tail had slapped her .

But Odalys had to step in and ruin everything .
Freyas freakout , convinced this was finally clenched her fans so hard her nails dug into her palms .
Shed despised Freya ever since she snagged the lead role Sophia had been out of the picture , everything wouldve fallen perfectly into place .

Sophias jaw tightened as she shot Odalys a glare sharp enough to cut glass .
Why the hell did Why did she have to play hero ? And why , why , did she have to save Freya ? she thought bitterly .
2.46 PM Chapter 20 It was like the was hell bent on making Sophias life miserable Thanks Freyas voice came out shaky as she clutched Odalyss arm like a lifeline .
Her grip was tight , her fear obvious , but she managed to muster those words even as her knees threatened to buckle .
Odalys glanced at her and smirked , her sharp gaze softening just enough to make room for amusement .
She reached out and gently wiped the lingering tears from Freyas cheek .
Whats this Afraid of snakes ? * Her tone was teasing laced with a calm that only made Freya feel smaller.
If youre that scared , youve got to toughen up .
Ill show you a real snake later you might as well leam to deal with ic What ? Freyas head snapped up , her wide , tear streaked eyes locking onto Odalys .
Are you kidding me ? Her voice cracked somewhere between disbelief and outright panic .
Odalys chuckled under her breath , giving Freyas nose a playful flick Relax , crybaby , Lets keep moving She clapped her on the shoulder and turned away , striding ahead like nothing had happened Behind them , Stellan and Selah were frozen , their arms still raised with makeshift weapons they hadnt gotten a chance to use .
sheepish looks before finally lowering their hands .
Damn , Stellan muttered , his tone half admiring , half defeated .
Shes on another level .
Lets go .
Without waiting for a reply , he stepped forward , sening a brisk pace .
They exchanged Freya , still visibly shaken , barely noticed Stellan reach down and grab her suitcase along with his own .
Selah hesitated , then stepped closer , her voice low and careful .
Freya , you okay ? Need a hand Freya nodded quickly , her voice failing her .
Yeah , thanks , she whispered , leaning into Selahs steady arm The group fell into a rhythm , with Odalys leading the charge .
Stellan trailed behind her , carrying both suitcases with ease , while Selah kept a protective grip on Freya .
No one wanted to linger in the eerie silence of the forest .
The sooner they were out , the better.
Pick up the pace ! Finnian called from behind , his voice tinged with impatience .
He was juggling Sophias huggage , his earlier cockiness long gone ..
The forest was unnerving .
Every sound leaves rustling , twigs snapping set his nerves on edge .
The deeper they went , the more it felt like the place was alive , watching them .
His confidence wavered with every step .
He glanced at Odalys ahead , her calm , measured strides cutting through the chaos .
She didnt look fazed in the slightest , and for a moment , he felt flicker of respect .
Shed grown up in the mountains that much hed heard .
Unlike the rest of them , she actually belonged here .
Ah ! A sharp cry from behind snapped him out of his thoughts , He turned to find Sophia wincing , one hand gripping her ankle .
Whats wrong now ? he asked , his frustration barely masked by concern .
Just a rock ; Sophia said quickly , brushing herself off .
I stepped on one wrong .
Lets go .
Well lose sight of them if we dont hurry .
She bit her lip .
pushing through the pain with an air of forced resilience .
Atlas , sull pale from the snake incident , silently quickened his pace .
