Tears of an Angel

ANNETTE'S POV

The questioning began.

The absence of Jon was tolerated and understood. The rest of us remained standing behind Michael with our eyes fixed on Nava. 

"What was your aim?" He asked her.

"I owe you no explanations," Nava responded.

"What is he up to?" He asked again.

"You don't– scare me." She replied.

"If you have no use then I don't see why I should stop Elena." He said, 

"For the last time, what is the plan!" He asked her again.

She blinked her eyes uncontrollably, maintaining a straight face as she took deep breaths. 

"Elena–" he ordered.

–"Wait." Nava voiced, 

"He wants to turn you all against each other so you would be too distracted to notice when he strikes." She said, 

"We are going to be needing more than that to spare your life," Ethan said from beside me.

"Was Tim aware?" I asked, 

"No. We didn't trust him that much." She responded.
