Bab 359: Chapter 359: She Was Gone

When Childe looked into Annie's eyes, he saw a mixture of determination to survive and the desire to be free of his pain. "I saw the fear in her eyes, and it scared me to death," he said out loud. An agonized look passed across his face when he realized what he tried to do to her. He looked out the window with tear-filled eyes and felt horror retake hold of him.

It all happened so fast. Childe looked into the eyes of the little girl. Her heart was beating hard. Annie stared at Childe intensely, not sure what he was up to. He was making promises he couldn't possibly keep. She didn't believe a word of it.
