Chapter 12 - the basterd

I scope out the carriage slowly trailing it waiting until the perfect moment when everyone is distracted. I quickly ran in, knocking out one of the guards on the side. 

He slumps and I grab him and open the door into the carriage slip inside.

There's a girl with white dress diamond studs and gold threads I clamp and quickly over her mouth as I toss the knocked out guard on the seat 

"Shhh quiet" 

The horse goes crazy rushing off worrying the guards.

"MISS ARE YOU OKAY"

I look into her eyes cupping my hands together and in begging motion.

"I'm quite fine"

"Ok just call us ma'am"

She looked at me with mixture of confusion and curiosity 

"So who are you?"

"I'm blake winters I'm 18 and a cultivator"

When I said that her eyes glinted with not only curiosity but a hint of mischievous evil, something similar to what my brother used to look at me with before he would lie. 

"Well I am Selena Rowe 21 and the adopted daughter of the Rowes you're sending me to get married to the tyrant kingdom of frost."

I scratched my chin before speaking

"Maybe we can work something out"

She raises her eyebrow with a questioning look.

"I need an ice core if you can help me find that I can help you get out of this marriage"

She stares at me for a moment 

"How?"

"My blood has the property to increase strength in others but-"

She cuts me off before I can even continue speaking. 

"Deal!"

"But you didn't even hear"

"Don't care it's better than being married to a fool even if he's pretending what's he probably is but I don't want to marry him simple as that"

I sigh in resignation as I grab the guard sword slicing my palm open and reach it out to her.

"Drink it you will become stronger"

She lifts my head to her mouth, her hand soft and delicate as she puts her lips onto the palm of my hand, drinking the blood. 

Blood spilling from the side of her mouth.

she pulls away, swallowing we sit here in silence for a good minute.

"Damn li-"

Her eyes bulge, her green pupils turning up blood red, her blonde hair turning a mix of pitch black and red.

She was digging her nails into the cushion to the point they broke off in a new pair that grew in your second blood red as if they were painted with nail polish.

Then she slumped forward. I reached out before she grabbed my arm and looked up with a devilish smirk on her face. 

"Well I guess you're not a liar I feel amazing I wonder what changed"

Then perform a shift into a black man "oh?" Menchie's switches into a 10 year old child then an elderly woman and finally into her previous form blonde hair and green eyes. 

"The ability to turn into anyone interesting"

"You learned your ability quick"

"I might be adopted but I'm not stupid I am quickly capable of learning quickly I feel this weird want to be around you"

"That's what I meant to tell you my blood has a special problem to make people powerful but they become a part of me basically but it's not matter once you get there do the marriage and start getting information"

"Get some info about a high grade Ice core"

She leans back "ok" The carriage keeps moving.

"Miss we are close"

Slowly I get out of the carriage giving her one last look before stepping out slowly closing the door and running into the brush. 

I locate a cave and I quickly stake it out thinking there's nothing inside. I drag a boulder pushing it near the entrance as I fall asleep.

When I awake again I noticed I'm back in the carriage. I looked down and saw soft delicate hands. Did I hear the same guard's voice again? 

"Ms Rowe we at here"

Am I in her body?
