CHAPTER 33 : With You Til The End

Alon was on fire. Smoke billowed out of the buildings that were lit with raging ember flames. The buildings crumbled, rubble and debris falling like hail onto the cracked pavement. I looked around, my eyes wide as they landed on body after body after body. The street was litters with corpses, ripped to shreds, burnt to a crisp or frozen in terror. Blood stained the street, pooling around bodies, streaked across walls and splattered everywhere.

I shook my head vigorously. What had happened to Maz's office? How was I here? A loud shriek resounded through the air, piercing through me like a cold shiver, I flinched as I backed away, my hands trembling and my bottom lip quivering. A low growl, followed by a screeching sound, like nails on a chalkboard sounded from the pile of rubble behind me. The hairs on the back of my neck rose and my heart plummeted.
