Chapter 5: Don't mess with me

Everyone stood there, frozen in shock. All eyes were on Malene, and she knew it. She turned to leave, but said one thing before departing.

"Let this be a lesson to all of you. I may be blind but my arrows can make you regret ever having met me. And Chase, get a new bandana."

They all looked at the boy named Chase, the one who had called her Famy. He was still standing there, shaking in fear. The arrow had sailed right past his head, taking his bandana and pinning it to the tree behind him. But of course, some people never learn.

"Ha! You missed!"

Yes, he was quite a jerk. And he became one of the most hated hunters ever. I'll never understand why he loved to shoot monsters that other people were already fighting.

But anyway, you can probably guess just how ticked off Malene was now. She pointed another arrow in his direction.

"Imbecile, I was aiming for your bandana. I'm not so stupid as to break the rules and actually hurt someone. But if you need more convincing, I can always rip a hole in that pretty scarf of yours."

She aimed for his neck and drew the arrow back, ready to fire at any moment.

"O...okay...you...you win this time..."

And with that, her idiotic classmate ran for dear life, probably just to go crying to his mother. Pathetic.

The blind girl slipped the arrow back into her quiver and turned to walk towards the main building of the archer's guild. She had an exam to take.

What's wrong?

You want to hear more?

Well nothing interesting happened after that. All of the other archers were afraid of her. They knew that she could either destroy something of theirs or even take their very lives if she wished. But she was kind and would never make a move as long as they didn't cross the line.

But she was a loner. The others both admired and envied her skill, but their fear caused them to stay away, thus she grew up to be very lonely. Needless to say, she graduated early and became a hunter at the age of 17.

And on the day she left home, she couldn't help but feel that things would never be the same again.
