Detective Novel Chapter 5

”I have no proof I couldn’t think of a way to prove it” Kalea paused as long as Mink didn’t ask her to kill anyone to prove it she would be able to pull this off “I just think, well you should trust me like I’m trusting you, you could kill me right now Pizies are strong” good idea claim to be a young Elf that doesn’t know much “I know lots of things like that Pizies are stronger than elves but Elves are faster” wrong Pizies are the weakest creatures but yes Elves were still faster. Mink had an interested look on her face, Kalea tuned into her mind
I could use this little child to my advantage she obviously doesn’t know much and cant hurt me she follows her heart.
Mink smiled kindly, “don’t worry child you don’t have to act old for my sake ill look after you ill introduce you to the rest of the family if you follow me” what?! Had it actually been that easy to convince Mink she was a child? And Mink was leading her right into her camp seriously was she that stupid? Typical her own trick worked against her Kalea realised she looked like an adult and Mink had told her that she didn’t have to pretend… did that mean she should change to look like a child? Mink had trusted a child like one her victims would, so surely that made Mink really brainless and foolish.
The camp was small with only 3 tents and a small fire in the middle there were four other people another female adult, a male adult a baby and a young boy who seemed to be human he looked slightly scared at first but then he realised Kalea was a creature similar to them and his face changed dramatically he smiled at Kalea but gave Mink a dirty look he obviously didn’t like her “got another pet?” asked the male Pizie laughing
”-ish its an elf only a child though, it seems she admires me and I had no other choice but to bring her back here but she seems kind enough, she’s wearing an adult disguise though” she turned to look at Kalea and smiled kindly, actually her “kind” smile was rather strained and obviously wasn’t something she did often “don’t worry child you don’t have to pretend anymore you can show us your real form” Kalea had no other choice but to put on a Childs disguise she changed her self into a girl of about 5ft with fiery hair she wore a plain white top along with making herself flat-chested for the most part, she only looked about 12 in human years, with an innocent face and just to top it off she made her hair slightly wavy but most importantly the size of her ears were the main hint to her age they were about 3 inches long in real meaning she was 3 centuries old roughly but she made her ears about 1 inch long unlike Pizies, elves ears grew as they aged rather than growing until full grown and then stopping at about 1inch-1/5iches. “Aren’t you a pretty Nixie then?” cooed the other woman
