ONE NIGHT FOREVER
The Fall or Escape
As the last guards fell, Natalia staggered, bloodied but still fierce, her scarred face twisted in hatred.
The sound of approaching engines roared through the stormy sky—Rook’s VTOL craft, descending fast, its rear ramp open.
Damien grabbed my hand, his dark gaze burning with fierce, unyielding fire.
"This ends tonight."
We ran, breathless but fierce, fighting through the final wave as explosions erupted behind us.
A Deadly Promise
As we boarded the waiting craft, Natalia’s cold voice echoed through the burning ruins:
"You can’t run forever... I’m always coming back."
