Cold, spider-like fingers raced up and down my spine, as the fire got closer.
Time seemed to stop, yet all I could hear was the chaotic beating of my heart.
Then, everything began to move fast again… maybe too fast because I couldn't comprehend it.
Boom.
Everything darkened, as my face got buried into a hard warm chest. Strong hands wrapped around my waist protectively, his frame shielding me.
My heart skipped a beat in panic, but when the person's scent registered in my head… I pulled away immediately.
But the body arched over mine, blocking my line of sight.
"Damon!" Mr. Four Eyes' panicked voice made my heart cut in two.
'Is he alright? Is he dying because of me?' I panicked more, struggling to get away from his hold.
"Everyone stay behind me." Rhydian's voice wasn't as calm as it always was.
The tension thickened so fast that it was suffocating. I couldn't think straight… I wanted to know how he was… but he wouldn't let me.
