Chapter 132: Lore Master

Buttercup froze, the sight of her rapist from eight years ago, sending her into a panic that threatened to be her undoing. Alana swam for the stairs, her body transforming back into her human guise as she reached the steps and trudged her way out of the pool, screaming her outrage at the deception.

Buttercup stood frozen in the face of her past, knowing that no one would protect her from his abuse this time.

“Buttercup, move! Now!” Renny bounced up and down, screamed, waved her hands back and forth. “Buttercup, don’t make me watch them kill you. Do something, damn it!”
