Chapter 3 The Bounty

With a hood pulled over her head, Selena trailed behind Leo as he knocked on the back door of a small wooden pub nestled downtown where most poor folks gathered to hang out at night.

The sound of laughter and slurred voices from inside the pub filled the air, and doubt began to creep into Selena's mind. She had a bounty on her head, and what if all that talk about the third way to undo the curse was merely a ruse devised by Leo to catch her for money? What if he intended to lead her here so that he and the rest of the poor folks would capture her and hand her over to the kingdom's security knights?

She had a bad feeling about this, so she held her axe tightly, readying herself for any outcome.

After a few minutes, the door creaked open, and a stunningly gorgeous lady with black raven shoulder-length hair and a huge pair of titties that were two times bigger than hers stepped out and jumped onto Leo, embracing him in a tight hug, more like a squeeze.

As the two of them hugged, Selena was shocked when she set her eyes on the lady's back assets. She had a very attractive booty that even made her jealous, and her hips were vividly visible on a pink short she was wearing.

Leo and the lady began kissing, and they just looked very cute together, that's when she assumed she must be the girlfriend he was talking about. For the first time in her life, she felt the need to find herself a soul mate, too.

After a while, the two lovers disengaged from the kiss and looked at Selena.

"Sorry about that, ma'am," Leo said, his voice still sounding weirdly trembling and different than when he first showed up at her cave.

"It's okay. So who is this thirsty bitch!" Selena asked mockingly, gesturing at Leo's girlfriend.

"Oh.. she's my girlfriend. The one I've been-"

"Do you have a death wish or something, you stinking elf?" The lady cut in, pushing Leo to the side.

"Babe... stop it."

"He just called me a bitch. Are you okay with that?"

"Calm down, guys. Let's get inside and talk things out, okay." Leo announced, patting their shoulders, already feeling some tension building up between them.

His girlfriend scoffed and got inside, taking a seat. Leo gave Selena a seat, too, and began introducing them to one another, "So this is my girlfriend, the one I've been telling you about, Mrs Selena. Her name is Ashley."

"The daughter of that old hag!" Selena sneered. "No wonder she smells so bad."

"Says a stinking elf who looks as flat as a boy." Ashley fired back, and Leo glanced at Selena one more time and asked," Wait.... you're an elf?"

"You bet!," Selena removed her hoody and showed him her pointy ears.

"Mphf... l could sense the wrenching aura of an elf even before l saw your ears." Ashely scoffed. "It was pretty obvious."

"Gosh... l didn't even notice all along." Leo admitted, practically shocked. All this time, he thought she was human.

"It's understandable. I mean... you were too busy glaring at my boobs and my undeniably unresistable perfect body that's not abnormally fat and big like someone l just met." Selena sneered again, and Ashley growled like a lion all while shooting a death stare at her boyfriend.

"Trust me, babe. We didn't do anything. My dick went flaccid just like how it does with any other girl." Leo explained, and Ashley glanced down, her expression saddening.

"So that's how it is, huh?" she muttered. "And only three days left."

"Yeah, babe... only three days left," Leo sighed, slipping into a mood of despair alongside her. Their somber atmosphere was abruptly interrupted by a loud bang on the table, drawing their attention to Selena, who was tapping her feet incessantly on the floor.

"I heard there's a third way to lift the curse. Spill it out, witch! I'm running out of time here!" Selena shouted, her fierce glare directed particularly at Ashley.

Ashley met her gaze for a long moment before scoffing and crossing her arms beneath her breasts. "Mphf... and why do you think I'll be obliged to tell you that?"

"Then you leave me no choice but to use force." Selena grabbed the axe that hanged on her back and pointed it at Ashley. "Spill everything you know before l squash you to bits of meat and feed them to the dogs, you stinking witch!"

"My mother's axe, you thief! No wonder your face looks familiar. You're that witch with a bounty on her head, aren't you?"

"And so what if I am?" Selena asked confidently, daring her to say more.

Ashley ignored her and simply smirked, standing up to open another door that led to the pub and shouted to the drunkards," Selena, the thief is here!!!!"

"Damn, bitch!!" Selena cursed, tightening her grip on her weapon. "You're a coward!"

"Babe!" Leo yelled. "Why did you do that?"

Ashley grinned and directed all the drunkards to her storeroom where Selena was. Amongst the drunkards were all kinds of beings- humans, wizards, beastman, and even dwarfs and elves.

Selena inhaled deeply and concentrated on controlling the bloody axe's power. It began humming, and when she threw it at the sheer number of drunkards, it squashed a few of them dead to the ground and returned back to her.

But drunkards being drunkards didn't stop going after her because she had taken a few of them down. They kept advancing to fight.

Just when Selena was about to draw more of the axe's power and kill a few more, the curse mark on her left boob began heating up, causing her to wince in agony. She pulled her top down and glanced at her boob only to see the curse mark turning red.

"Shit!" She muttered, the curse's arousal effects beginning to get the better of her.

Her nipples were getting hard, and that unsatisfied itch in between her legs was slowly kicking in, making it hard for her to concentrate on fighting and stand her ground.

She stumbled outside, trying to run away from the drunkards but she was slow and they quickly caught up to her, grinning to one another, and some even deciding what they'll do with the bounty money of her head.
