Fear clouded Aria's heart, making her breath come in short gasps. "What?" Her uncle exclaimed in shock, his hands shaking violently as he held the paper. His face turned pale, and his eyes widened in horror. Aria's hand trembled, and her whole body began to shake in fear. Her heart racing, she felt like she was going to collapse.
