Savannah’s breath caught. The floor shook again as the sirens grew louder. The countdown clock on the central monitor flashed in bright red digits. 02:22… 02:21… 02:20… Harrison’s voice boomed across the room. “You have two minutes until the world thinks you’re a criminal. I suggest you make peace with that.” Savannah looked around frantically. There had to be a way through the shutters. There had to be. Jackson slammed his fist again, but the steel didn’t even dent. “Savannah,” he called, breath sharp, “

Swish. Had someone left a window open, it was coming from our small library, my favourite room in the whole house well it was really reading enclave fitted with a door. Maybe my father had finally managed to fix the grandfather clock that had been sitting in the room for as long as I can remember. I decided on see the library one last time before the slaughter continued.

I wasn't getting the answers I needed, and it was messing with my head. Going back inside to get the car keys will be a suicide attempt. I was lucky enough to survive the first attack. I am most likely not going to survive the second one. I looked at my phone, and it's 2:20 AM. Finding a cab home at this late hour is highly impossible. I'm stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. This is so far the most decisive moment of my life. “Think, Susan. Think. Why are you so dumb?” I spanked my forehead just to get some solutions.

Once I’m sure my group of warriors are ready, I first check in with Sergi and then Nico, getting their go-ahead. I open my mind link to my warriors. ‘On three! One… two… THREE!” I shout and we all toss our watermelons at the same time. The massive explosion blows all of us backward and shakes the earth around us. “ATTACK!” I yell, howling our attack as the howls of alarm go up inside Masuzyo’s pack.

“Perhaps, I made exceptions for you Rahul.” His eyes sunk in horror. “I've never killed that slowly before. You broke the record.” “But let me make this clear to you,” I told him. “Antonio. Doesn't.

Abby replied, confused. The brown-haired man glanced at his right wrist, where a watch was already set on it. “We have fifty minutes, before we go to the airport. If you really want to double check, then you can do it now. Do not let any of your belongings be left behind because later you will be in trouble yourself."

But her curiosity got the better of her, and she tore open the envelope. Inside was a single sheet of paper, with a message scrawled in black ink: "I know what you're doing, Lily. And I won't let you get away with it. You belong to me, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep you." Lily felt a chill run down her spine as she read the words. She knew Mark was capable of anything, and she couldn't help but feel as if her life was in danger. She tried to push the fear aside, to focus on her work and her budding relationship with Ethan.
