HOPELESS

"Where is Adrian?" Erika questioned Mary, ignoring the old woman's apology. Although she was shocked by the latter's actions, she didn't want to believe it so easily. Mary would never ask her for an apology just like it. It was completely absurd.

Slightly taken aback when Erika changed the topic, Mary reached for her face with her wrinkled hand and wiped away the tears that glistened on her cheeks and sniffed them back in.

"I have no idea where he is," she confessed but Erika was having a hard time believing her and so was Edward. "He must be hiding somewhere and waiting to recover before he attacks so be careful out there, Erika," she looked up at Erika as she requested for the woman to be safe.
