"Anyone can betray anyone"

The Red Queen.Victoria Aveyard.

I took a deep breath, calmed down, but deep down I was terrified of what had happened. My mind was lost in all this, when I felt a hand on my shoulder, I backed away almost screaming to see if the demon had not returned.

-Skyler! Hey, calm down! ... Calm down ... it's me ...- Daniel speaks trying to calm me, bringing his hands to my arms holding me carefully- Calm down ... breathe Are you okay? I'm sorry I scared you- he exclaims softly as if he were a wounded animal and he was wild and unpredictable.

-I ... I ... I'm fine, don't worry, I was just lost in my thoughts and ...- I swallowed when I remembered that I was almost dead or that's what I thought.

"I'm fine," I finally reply without looking him in the eye in the process.

I just took a little air and released it by shaking my head.
