Chapter 70: Seraphina's Not-So-Great Escape Attempt

Seraphina had one mission—to escape Lucien's grasp before things got any worse.

Unfortunately, the universe had other plans.

—

Plan A: The Distraction

Seraphina smiled sweetly.

"Lucien, look! Behind you! A flying—uh—vampire bat!"

Lucien did not look.

His grip on her wrist tightened.

"Really? That's your plan?"

Seraphina sighed.

"I had to try."

—

Plan B: The Best Friend Back-Up

"Lila," Seraphina hissed.

"Help me!"

Lila leaned against a tree, munching on a stolen dessert.

"Mm. Nope. I like watching this."

Seraphina glared.

"You traitor."

Lila shrugged.

"You'd do the same to me."

Seraphina paused.

"…Okay, fair."

—

Plan C: The Sudden Escape Move

Seraphina took a deep breath.

Then—

She twisted. She turned. She yanked her arm free!

Victory!

She sprinted into the night like a dramatic heroine in a novel.

—

Three Seconds Later…

Lucien casually appeared in front of her.

Seraphina skidded to a stop.

"HOW?!"

Lucien tilted his head.

"Vampire speed."

Seraphina groaned.

"That's cheating."

—

Plan D: Accepting Her Fate (Temporarily)

Lucien crossed his arms.

"Done running?"

Seraphina huffed.

"For now."

Lucien grinned.

"Good."

Seraphina rolled her eyes.

"You're enjoying this way too much."

Lucien leaned closer.

"You're fun to chase."

Seraphina's brain short-circuited.

Lila laughed from the sidelines.

"Oh, this is getting GOOD."
