But wait—what did she mean earlier? That nothing belonging to Coastelle shall be destroyed?
I asked, and she sprang up, adorably, with a smile.
Then, without warning, she turned to Bina and extended her hand again—energy building fast, dangerous—and Bina started breathing hard like she was about to take a cannon to the face.
"Wait! Wait! Wait!!" I jumped in front of Bina to barricade her.
"What are you trying to do?!" I asked Flora, panic rising in my voice.
She looked confused again.
"Huh? I wanted to kill her."
That is not the kind of thing you expect to hear from a ten-year-old!
Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!!
"W-why?" I stammered, already feeling a migraine brewing. "I told you she wasn't an enemy!"
The headache was hitting full force now, and Bina's lack of protest wasn't helping either.
