Everything around Theodora went still for a moment. Did they just say...Eric Pendragon?!
No-no, no, no, no.
Her stomach dropped so harshly that she felt dizzy for a second. She was supposed to fight Eric?! But that's impossible!
Eric- her Eric? Her best friend, the man she had given her heart to. The boy she's climbed roofs with, shared secrets with and had numerous laughter and breakdowns with.
And she was supposed to fight him now?
She felt sick in her stomach.
"You look like you're about to shit bricks," Roman said, appearing from wherever the hell he's been all this time.
Theo ignored him, her eyes glued to Eric who was now stepping into the arena. He looked focused and calm, the spark opposite of what she was feeling now.
She had said she was gonna use whichever opponent she got to sweep the floor, and now she couldn't do that.
She forced her legs to move and stepped into the arena, Roman right behind her.
