Kapitel 18: Chapter Eighteen: A fatal shot

The impact of the fall knocked the air out of my lungs. Liam was on top of me, shielding me from any potential threat.

From my referral vision, I could see the woman instantly halt and fall to the ground, dropping on her knees first before she was sprawled out on the floor lifelessly.

Fear consumed me and my heart was racing, thrashing against my rib cage. Liam and I remained flattened on the ground for a couple of seconds.

He got up first, still crouched as he looked around. Then I followed him and quickly rushed towards the woman.

"Miss! Miss!" I cried, holding her body. She was bleeding relentlessly and the crimson stained my flare skirt.

"Please don't die! Don't give up on me!" I yelled, watching her chest rise and fall erratically. She looked at me and then looked forward at Liam who was approaching us.
