Chapter 18: Frosten
Sniff.
The cold bit into my lungs as I breathed in. It spread like ice through my chest.
Dangerous.
We couldn’t stay here long.
I glanced around—just snow and ice, endless and white.
"Ahh... why the hell are we here?!" I turned back. Anna’s face was twisted with frustration, eyes blazing.
Not that I cared.
She could die out here.
But not before helping me secure that book.
I looked down at the emergency escape relic in my hand. She got it from that clerk behind the counter. I wasn’t sure why he handed it over—maybe he saw the name on her ID and panicked. If that was true, there was probably a tracker in it. He definitely tipped off the Estellias by now. Maybe he thought I was holding her hostage.
Not entirely false.
