"This is just the beginning," she breathed, the words a mere whisper as she swept past Seth. She was a force, heading towards the door, towards escape. Her eyes were storms of anger, yet devoid of hatred. As she passed me, I instinctively grabbed her wrist. Thousands of questions swirling around my mind, what if it had been Amaya in Elli's place, would she have also blamed everything on Elli? If it had been Amaya in Fred's place, would she have severed all ties with him? If Amaya had been Sophia, would revenge have even flickered in her mind? And if Amaya had been Seth, would she have paused, even for a heartbeat?
The answer was a brutal, unwavering, "Never."
