CHAPTER 97

　　Ashley's Pov

　　I was both nervous and scared when I was almost never afraid. My life, more importantly Dreydon's hung in the balance. The phone call I shared with Luca wasn't very reassuring. Even though he said he would help I want really sure what to believe. He was an honest guy, that I knew, but he had no reason to help us, he owes me nothing. I couldn't blame him or Maxine I'd he didn't keep his word, if we didn't make it out of this. Liam was a wild card and couldn't be trusted to believe the truth even if it hit him in the face.

　　"Fuck my head hurts." I froze and turned around slowly but daring to breathe in case I was dreaming. My eyes locked locked with Dreydon's as my heart pounded wildly in my chest. It was those eyes that captured my soul and did things to me I couldn't explain. They reminded me I was still alive as I moved quickly tripping over myself to get to him. No matter how fast I moved it wasn't fast enough.
