Ch 122: I'm saving you- Part 1

"What just happened-"

Lyra stood frozen, watching Selene's unconscious form in Rose's arms. She had seen what just happened, but it refused to register in her mind until she asked this question out aloud. 

Only once she did ask did she realise what Rose had done and she panicked a little.

'No, calm down! There is no need to panic. If you panic, then it is all over.'

Her throat was dry when she finally forced herself to speak.

"What now?"

Rose didn't hesitate. 

"We leave."

His voice was calm—too calm—but there was something twisted beneath it, something cold and unyielding.

Rose had no remorse for what he did. If anything, he sounded far too happy and calm for someone who just committed a crime.

"And then?" 

She asked carefully.

A slow smile curled on his lips. 

"Then, I'll make her realize the truth."

A chill ran down Lyra's spine as soon as she saw that expression.
