The death didn't come, her racing heart didn't stop. She was in someone's arms. Abrielle opened her eyes, which slowly went wide.
It wasn't the eyes she remembered.
The clearest Amethyst orbs. Abrielle had never seen such eyes before. Her heart was still thudding, it felt like a dream. They weren't on the ground yet.
He slowly descended, as though he could command the wind. They finally got to the ground. The wind dissipated and her racing heart was trying to find its pace.
Yet she could not look away from him. They didn't look alike, yet he still reminded her of Cedric.
Was it the similar presence or the same hair? Were they related?
That could not be the case, she knew all of Cedric's siblings.
"You are safe now," he finally spoke, breaking her trance. She could sense his unease under her gaze. "Do I know you?" Abrielle blurted before she realised.
