Chapter 56 - 57 Monsters Don’t Stay Dead (4)
"We have to go now," Lucian pulled her back.
Olivia’s eyes darted back to Varex, who was barely standing. The vines had begun to crawl up his legs.
"Olivia!" Lucian called out.
Olivia snapped back to him. She followed after Lucian. ’I can’t believe I ruined everything.’ She felt a sting in her chest.
She cast a last glance at the teacher. She froze. Her eyes widened.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
No matter how hard Lucian tried to pull her out of the room, it was like her foot got glued to the ground.
’No. This is impossible,’ she murmured, her eyes swirling with emotion. She stared at her twin sister, who was almost covered by the vines.
’Should I let her die? I shouldn’t feel sympathy for her, right? She sent me to die. Don’t ever forget that... yes, die.’ Her thoughts crawled at the back of her mind.
’But why can’t I move? You can walk away from this, Olivia. Don’t prioritise the people that you are only an option to,’ she advised herself.
The vines crawled up Freya’s body, wrapping themselves around her neck up to her nose. Freya’s heart dropped in her chest. She was so scared that she forgot to breathe.
