Chapter Fifty-seven

   Panic pierces my heart at the sudden high-pitched sound of Evalene’s scream filtering through the commotion of the room. I whip around to see Gwen hovering over Gregory. Panic controlling my actions, I rush over to them. With one hand, I shove Gwen sending her sliding across the stone floor. I look down at Gregory to see a dagger shoved deep into his chest.

    "Oh, gods.... oh gods!" I cry out, tears pricking my eyes. This cannot be happening.

    Gregory looks up at me,

giving a weak smile. I desperately place my hands around the knife to try and stop the bleeding.
