Hope was aware of Lana's feelings for Kace, but at this moment, there was something else that had drawn her attention more than her understanding about that.
There was something from the beast's behavior that made Hope couldn't take her eyes off of him. It was as though he was the gravity of her universe, everything around her was fading away, and even Lana's outburst was meaningless.
Her body seemed to have a mind of its own, made Hope walk absentmindedly towards the raging beast. Didn't really care about the fact that the monster was in the middle of a rampage, and presently acting weird.
"Hope, what are you doing?" Ethan was the first person who realized what Hope was going to do. He stretched out his hand to grab her wrist, and pulled her back to the safety.
Lana stopped making a fuss with Chiron when she watched how Hope, all of a sudden, fell to the ground, lost all of her strength along with her consciousness.
