LANCE
"Really? Where?" I can imagine the two lean from their prison cell closer. I can't exactly tell them it's just a hunch and may sound really ridiculous. Yet I already let the news out of my tongue. No stopping it.
"Seven is inside of Meira, I mean the Temptress. Currently asleep and have her life blessing slowly suck out to sustain her younger self."
Magnus and fake Seven burst out laughing. "That's ridiculous."
I waved off their talks of 'impossible'. The moment I speak it out loud, a soft rustle of petals came from my left. When I look over, there's a piece of blue rose beside me. The bloom is two times bigger than the roses fake Seven had given me.
I smiled. Man, it's been so long since I've felt this happy. For the whole seventy days of being tortured and dying everyday, having a weird rose sprouting in grey cold walls is like having a pepperoni steaming pizza filling my stomach.
God, I missed it.
