CHAPTER 15

Marcus’s POV

I immediately stumbled out of the mansion and arrived outside of mistwood creek. What the hell was wrong with her? Was she okay? Why did she not listen to me and get back on time?

I got to the dark forest where I left her and thankfully, she was still there. It was hard to move around in the dark forest, especially as the moon was not yet out. However, I was able to use my fifth sense to navigate my way.

“What were you still doing here?” I asked her when I got to her.

“What do you think?” She responded fiercely.

I wished I could read her expression as she spoke, but the night was long and dark. I stood silent for a while before her response came in low but audible enough. “I fell asleep on my parent‘s grave.”

“You what?!” I exclaimed.

She really was useless and care less for her life.

“I thought I had told you not to be late?” I asked her, my tone was cold and icy.

“How did you know I was still here?” She asked back.

That is right. How did I know? I heard her cry for help.
