CHAPTER 30- BABY STEPS

Adriana sat at the pond feeling sorry for herself. Bren was going to be killed first thing in the morning. Part of her felt that it was what he deserved. But the other part wished, hoped that somehow he'd escape. She really couldn't believe she felt this way towards a traitorous murderer. She couldn't bear to see him die. Even after what he'd done.

She hated herself so much. Adriana looked down to the necklace Bren had given her. Grabbing it off her neck, Adriana raised her hand to throw it into the pond, but she couldn't. Her fingers clutched it tightly, her heart refusing to obey her head's order to let go. Tears trickled down her face. She just wished she could wake up and find out that all of this was a dream.
