----------------
The world stood still.
For the first time in my life, silence wasn't peace.
It was judgment.
Everyone's eyes were on me...Pixie's broken form, Grandpa Venus's cold, steady gaze, the heirs, the guards.
All of them seemed to be waiting, watching for me to take an action.
My heart didn't beat faster.
My breath didn't falter.
I wasn't afraid.
I wasn't sad.
I wasn't anything.
This was one of those times when I realised that something inside me seemed to be slipping out.
Ever since I'd left the house and arrived here to train as usual, I'd felt something was wrong.
And when Pixie'd appeared... looking like that?
It had broken something inside me.
As if the girl I knew had died.
If not for Damien helping me stabilize my mind and prove to me that she was indeed my kitty cat, I can't even imagine how I'd react or even be protecting her to right now.
