Chapter 16

  By Ruthlessness, I Rule 16

  Cressida?

  I Let my gaze go around the basement through my dark locks while keeping my head down.?

  It was meant to scare any kid who stepped inside it, low light, long stairs, creepy vibes. But it didn't scare me, not one bit but it sure did my twin who was trembling in fear, his low voice shaking as he called out for me.?

  "Cressida?" It would've been better if someone stabbed me with a knife in my heart compared to hearing how afraid Jack was. It wasn't fair.

  I looked beside me and saw Jack shaking but I could tell it wasn't just from fear so I quickly removed my jacket, staying in my black t-shirt as I draped it over Jack's shoulders before I took his cold face in both my hands.

  Tears ran down his face as he whispered, as if he was afraid that they would hear him even though they weren't here. "I'm scared."?
