“Luciano, shoot him, and let’s go. She is in too much pain we need to help her.” James shouts at me.
But his words do not make it through the anger consuming me.
“You lied to me. So it was all a lie. It was not Aero. You are in it too! You are all my uncle's puppets. Kill me to have access to the powers?!”
I turn my eyes wondering, studying Maria’s face. Maria is no longer in James’s hold or tied to the rope of the helicopter. She is fighting with all her might to stay human and she is standing right in front of James. One look at her and I can tell.
The fear in her eyes tells me whatever Coal said is all true. They are truly planning to kill me.
“But you said they could not kill me even if they wanted to… unless…unless they have Keirah already?” Keirah.... they have Keirah.
And that triggers the danger and fear in me, not for my life but for Keirah. “Coal, where is Keirah? Do you have her in here?! WHERE IS SHE?”
