The End of Zinnia Trost

"Riley, hold up! Riley." Zinnia cried, rushing after her panting. "You said Scarlett is dead; how can you be so sure?"

Riley stopped looking down, biting her lip, furious. "I just know. I could feel it! Her psychic presence faded without warning. You don't believe me, do you?"

Zinnia shook her head, giving off a reinsuring smile. "I believe you. I don't know-how, but if you can sense it, I'll believe you. If we want to save your sister, we should get moving."

"Save?"

"I believe you can sense her, but I don't, no, can't believe someone like Scarlett is dead. Even if what you told me about her is true, Scarlett is strong. She wouldn't die so easily. Not to mention if she's in trouble, then the others are too."

Riley was left dumbfounded, rubbing the back of her neck. "Why are you helping me for? Our family has caused you nothing but grievance and trouble. We almost killed on you serval times. I almost killed you; I don't deserve your help."
