Chapter 144 - Has He Forgotten Her?

The chaos raged on beneath, and then the chaos died.

It raged on again, died again, still there in the darkness she remained.

Zezi had stopped her clawing at the walls and her mad senseless banging to bring the barriers down, so she could save her daughter whose voice her enhanced hearing hadn't brought to her ears since that scream.

Languishing moments dragged on, till she was spent and all she could do was slip to the wall and pray to the Moon that Mira was alright while she tried to shake away the memory of the blood and her blue dress.

Valerick was gone the moment he had tossed her in here, ordering her with a rugged voice to stay, his dark eyes glinting sparks of red.

It frightened her and for that little moment, the shock had stilled her.

At that same moment, he was gone.

Zezi couldn't tell how long it must have been now, all she knew was that the chaos had been over for quite some time.
