Chapter 23: Hope
"Hey! She won’t do that..." Alaric looked at her suspiciously, "Would she?"
Adeline was at a loss for words, just what was her stupid brother thinking? She wouldn’t kill someone! She was just a child!
A bright white glow emerged from her hands which immediately healed all of her scars. If there are no wounds, there is no crime. How was she going to get him arrested? Adeline smirked with satisfaction. The Goddess finally did one right thing.
It didn’t hit Alaric until they reached a dark alley what was happening.
’Why am I here? How did they convince me to come here??’
He looked at the two partners in crime next to him and frowned. He thought it would be an uneventful night after the ’eventful’ morning. But here he was, Aaron woke him up saying there was something wrong with Adeline.
He was so worried that something happened to her that he jumped off the bed and started to sprint!
They rushed to her room at once. He knew something was wrong when he saw her dressed in a black robe, her evil smile didn’t help. Why was she dressed like the Grim Reaper?
"She looks fine-" He couldn’t help but remark. Didn’t Aaron say that something was wrong?
