Chapter 20 : I Did It for You

*Darick’s POV*

Shit, shit, shit.

The one thing I didn’t want to happen, did.

I ran after Gwen as she raced down the hallway.

"Gwen. Please, wait," I grabbed her arm and turned her toward me.

"Darick, I promise I won't say anything, just please let me go." Her hands were shaking, and she looked frightened, her eyes wide with fear.

"Gwen. I'm not going to hurt you," I whispered.

I turned and saw Viktor staring at me. Godfrey's blood was still dripping from the stake.

"He doesn't like me much. Does he?" Gwen said as she lowered her gaze.

I looked back to see Viktor’s eyes on her, and once they saw me staring, they adverted and he continued to help clean up the mess I left behind.

I sighed. "Come with me,” I stated. “I want to show you something."

I grabbed Gwen's hand and led her to the library. She was silent the entire way and part of me expected her to run—but rather, she kept close to me, and trailed behind me.
