Natalia hugged Jonathan tighter and looked at the man with her wide eyes, her breathing uneven. Jonathan pressed his head against his mother’s chest, covering his face with his hands. However, he peered at the man between his fingers.
The man stepped in and said, “You are awake.”
Natalia scooted back and asked, “Who are you? Why did you bring us here? Where is Samuel?”
Her eyes narrowed as she tried to take a good look at him. Under the dim light, she saw a long ugly scar on his face. He had a menacing appearance. The most terrifying aspect of him was his glowing grey eyes. Natalia shuddered under his cold gaze.
The man smiled and approached her slowly, “My name is Dylan. I am sorry I have to bring you here in this way. But there is nothing to be worried about. I won’t hurt you. Stay here for a few days as my guest. I'll let you go once I've killed my foe."
