At this moment, Eli couldn't bear to witness anymore. She hurriedly retreated and amidst all the chaos right here she managed to slip through everyone unnoticed.
She was in great confusion, as she hadn't crossed her own trauma yet. The issue here was related to the fact she wasn't even trusting the man who saved her.
James was her savior, the one who risked everything to save her. This was a fact she was sure of from all the talks she heard so far from everyone. However he also killed her brothers and sisters.
She had some feelings for James, pure ones, but now she couldn't feel that way towards him. she only knew him for a very short time, not like how deep she knew the sisters and brothers she grew up with.
Despite being raised in a harsh environment, and living in cages and fears, she still had many memories about her friends. She couldn't just ignore or forget them simply like that.
