Chapter 108: Was She Jealous?

As Phoebe's screams filled the air, Amaya released the arrow.  Phoebe closed her eyes.  She wanted to throw herself at Marx who was still kneeling in front of her but she cannot move.  She was too dumbfounded her body refused to move.

'Did Amaya misunderstand?  Was she overcame with jealousy that she wanted to hurt Phoebe?'  These were the thoughts that were in Marx's mind when he heard a loud thud and Phoebe gave out a horrendous scream that scared the birds resting on the trees.

When Phoebe did not feel any pain, she opened her eyes.  It was at the very same instant when a snake as big as her thigh fell in the gap between her and Marx.  The snake was long so part of its tail fell on her body while the head fell on her outstretched legs. The head was looking at her direction and there was an arrow in between its eyes.
