Chapter 140: Caroline

'Holy sh*t, is she dead?' Kysilius explodes.

'I...I don't know Beta.' The girl responds.

'F*ck! She can't be dead, that would...'

"Why are you two just standing there?" A familiar voice pulls me from my head and when I come to, I find Caroline in front of us.

She stands with an askance look in her eyes and a cup of punch in her hand.

B*tch! Echoes in my head, I'm not sure why.

We've made our peace, at least I think we have.

"I was actually thinking of something." I burst. "I hadn't even realized Kysilius stopped as I did." I say at once, trying to exonerate myself from the situation.

"Why did you stop Kysilius?" I ask.

"I...have to go." Kysilius says to me, then he turns to Caroline. "Please watch her for me."

Watch who?

He leaves without uttering another word.

Dammit Kysilius!

I get angry, but my anger is in a fraction of a second, replaced with worry.
