She raised her finger to her lips to silence him. "Just checking. This isn't the person I'm looking for."

"Never mind." She growled, sheathing her knife. "You know this human?"
"What if I do?" He countered.
"She's been marked by death. She probably won't last the week."
Alston's blood ran cold. "What the hell do you mean?"
She shrugged. "I don't give a damn about this girl, so I have no reason to explain myself." She pushed past him, pushing back the flap of the tent. "You'd better get out of here." She told him over her shoulder.
He seized her arm. "What do you mean about Hallah being marked by death?" He growled.
"Doesn't matter." She said coldly. "She's just a human, so I don't really care."
"I've known her all my life."
"So what? You should concentrate more on yourself, rather than worry about these lesser beings. You'll all be extinct shortly anyway."
"What are you talking about?"
"That's all I'm going to say. Excuse me." She yanked her arm out of his grasp.
"Wait...are the elves planning a war?"
"Not us." She said.
