Capítulo 30: Chapter Thirty

I couldn't breathe. His words had my chest so tight with anxiety that I couldn't force my lungs to pull in any air. What the hell what he saying? It didn't make any sense, but... at the same time, it made every bit of sense. 

The man pulled away from me. A sad smile graced his annoyingly perfect face. When he spoke, his voice sounded heavy with emotion. "I will leave you with your thoughts." And with that, he was gone. He simply vanished into thin air, taking the warmth of his touch with him.

I barely registered the absence though. It was like my mind had just come to a grinding halt. So many thoughts begged for attention, but I couldn't process any of them. I looked down at my arm, my mark still exposed. With my other hand, I gripped my right wrist tightly and stared at the smooth lines. They had to hold some kind of answers! All my life, I've been told that I've been abandoned by the Fates. Now I'm being told it was all a lie. Human fallibility.
