Avery's eyes locked onto Julian's , her heart pounding with anticipation . They had been hiding in the cave for hours , waiting for their pursuer to make a move .
Julian's jaw clenched in determination . " Let's do this ," he said .
They crept out of the cave , moving stealthily through the underbrush . Avery's sense were on high alert , her eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of their pursuer .
And then , they saw him . A talk imposing figure with eyes that glowed like embers .
Avery's heart skipped a beat as Julian stepped forward , his eyes locked onto the the pursuer . " Why are you hunting us ?"
The pursuer sneered , his eyes flashing with malevolence . " You're a thief to the order ," he spat . " And threats must be eliminated ."
Avery felt a surge of anger , her fists clenched at her sides . " We're not going down without a fight ," she snarled .
And with that , he launched himself at them , his movements swift and deadly . Avery and Julian fought back , their movements a blur as they clashed with pursuer .
The fight was intense , the three of them exchanging blows and dodging attacks . Avery's heart was pounding , her senses on higher alert .
But in the end , it was Julian who delivered the final blow , his fist connecting with the pursuer's jaw with a sickening crunch .
The pursuer crumpled to the ground , defeated . Avery and Julian stood over him , their chests heaving with exertion .
" It's over ," Julian said , his eyes locked onto Avery's .
Avery nodded , feeling a sense of relief wash over her . They had faced their pursuer and came out on top .
Now , they could finally start their life together .
But as they turned to walk away , Avery felt a shiver run down her spine . The pursuer's eyes were still glowing , even in defeat .
And Avery knew that this was far from over .
