Chapter 456: He is gone
Abrielle’s legs were sore from going to and fro tonight. Despite the exhaustion, she didn’t slow down and continued running.
Someone was here for Cedric. What did Yuki mean? Why did he speak in puzzles? Her heart was hammering against her rib cage, the hallway blurred in her eyes as she continued running..
The closer she got to the room, the more dense the air felt. She wondered how Yuki could sense the presence from far away. It felt dark and heavy. Her lungs struggled to breathe, goosebumps formed in her skin, every alarm in her body was telling her to stop and not get close to whatever was in Cedric’s room.
Was it death? She wondered. Even death didn’t feel this scary. Abrielle finally got to the heavy doors and pushed them open
As soon as it parted the heavy suffocating presence disappeared from the room
"Cedric!!!" She screamed her lungs out, her eyes falling on the bed to find him. It was empty. "Cedric?" She called out again, and a silent dread gripped her. Her heart felt heavy and slowly wrenched in pain.
Her feet ran to the bed, she was still catching her breath but she didn’t care about the exhaustion. She pulled off the sheets to confirm Cedric was truly not in the bed.
Abrielle ran all over the room searching every corner even places impossible for him to be. He wasn’t here.
"Cedric..where are you?" She asked. A heartbreaking cry escaped her lips. He was gone. He left her? She pulled the sheets that still had his subtle warmth on them and his lingering scent.
He was here a moment ago but had disappeared. Where did he go? The room’s atmosphere shifted and Yuki appeared beside her. "You were late." He mentioned, his gaze fell on the broken figure on the floor
