One of them asked as he blocked her way.The lines around her eyes were so red as she glared hard at the door."I need to see Zack" she stated bluntly.If the boys were people that knew her, they'd have known her voice was sounding deadlier than it used to."You mean...Master Zack?"

All those while...I thought it was Tabitha".Octavia watched silentlyShe could recall the pains in Khalid's eyes when he narrated the story to her the previous day.
