Princess of AMBER

I felt a slight pressure applied around my waist. First, I didn't pay attention to it, as my whole focus was on nearly dying girl in front of me. It got tighter and I felt a warmth of air hit my abs through fabric. My gaze fell on the unknown source nearly under me.

Laura.

Her hands wrapped around me, her face buried in to the fabric covering my stomach. I felt her hot breath hitting me hard, her small form shaking. It appeared to me, that she was crying, her sobs - silent.

"Please! Let her go.... Don't be sad......" she squeezed me tighter.

Sad? I was not..... My head moved up. In the dark brown glass decor, I saw my face. I felt mad, angry and all kind of other emotions, but the only one visible was the sorrow and pain. The expression I have never seen on myself before. It looked so foreign, I looked so strange in my own eyes.

"Please don't kill my friend, Bryce! ..... Please.....please..... please stop it...."

From the shock, I released Sharlene's neck. Laura on other hand was holding on to me tight as ever. My hands were free, but I was unable to find a space or use for them, after a while I let them hang freely on the sides of my body. Laura was making me uncomfortable, as her body was still glued to mine. What have happened? I felt like the world around me have stopped. What she said me.... what I looked like.... what I have done.... I almost killed Kyra's best and most precious friends.
