Chapter Thirty-Seven: Seeds of Death

***

POV:*Lavender*

***

All I could hear at first was my breathing above the sound of gravel settling. Smoke and dust made the air thick and gritty. To say it disoriented me had been an understatement.

Strong hands lifted me from the ground as I jerked to get away from them. They weren’t Fate’s. I needed to get to him first. I couldn’t leave just yet.

“Lavender! Lavender, it’s me,” Cerberus yelled as he fought against my attempts to flee.

I stilled at the recognition. Frantically I looked around trying to get an idea of where Fate had been standing only moments before the parking garage had fallen around us, but all that lay in his spot were chunks of concrete and rebar.

Smoke choked me as ashes fell like snow from what building stayed standing. I reached out toward the pile of rubble and tried to pry myself out of Cerberus’s arms.

“We need to save Fate. He was right there. He was…” A faint yell cut me off.
