As soon as they left, the underground base exploded into nothing but ruins. **** RED We got out from the underground base only to find a blonde lady waiting outside. Dahlia stiffened beside me. I didn't know why the blonde was there. All I knew was that it couldn't be good. "Shelley?" Lia breathed, tensing up. 'Shelley' glared daggers at her. "So, it's actually true" She said, glaring at me. "You actually ran away with some animals" She said. "I had to run away with them. They are not animals, but your brother is one.

"I prefer the blue." Keon didn't laugh. The faint smirk faded from his lips, replaced by a bleak, heavy expression that made the air in the clinic grow cold.
