Her Vow

Cassie dropped to the ground in a sitting position. She covered her face using both hands as she began to sob. Her body was trembling. Scarlet didn't know what to do. How would she comfort her master?

Cassie continued to cry, shedding more tears when suddenly someone kneeled in front of her. She thought it was Scarlet who wanted to comfort her. She could feel her hand stroking her hair. 

"Stop crying," a faint masculine voice resounded.

Cassie's body stiffened when she recognized that voice. She lowered her hands and looked at the person before him. She was surprised to see Flint.

Cassie was at a loss for words for several seconds. 'Why is he comforting me?'

"I'm sorry… for making you cry," Flint spoke again, looking away guiltily.

When Flint apologized, Cassie pushed him away. "Are you another illusion, trying to deceive me?"
