My eyes stilled far from where I was crouched down and there were so many heads moving around yet my eyes found Marcello standing there at the nook agitation roared in me I narrowed my eyes, and my grip tightened around Jasper's neck enough I could feel his fading pulse but—
My heartbeat was frenetic. I was breathing hard. The taunting grin he wore was like hot water on my skin. I looked him over but found no sign of a wound on him, yet his shirt was dried in a crimson color. It took only seconds for my agitation and fury to vanish into the air. But then the ghost of dread crept up from the pit of my stomach, clawing at my brain.As though he could see my fear naked his face twisted from a taunting grin to a fierce, vicious one, he extended his hand to the right side direction, my lips parted yet any word or breath deserted me all that was occurring around me seemed to vanish into thin air, drafting away like ashes in the wind, dad used to teach me that the fear is my challenge and the demon only for me to slay, I had been conquering my fears for a long time now—
As everything unfolded, it seemed to happen in slow motion. Suddenly, he pulled someone's hand, and it felt as though an unknown force had rendered me immobile.
