章 183: Faithful

MIRI

I held on tight to James’ hand while he gave his report to the police officer. A feeling of cold emptiness crushed my heart as I watched the paramedics take Solange away. The power’d come on the second James gave up trying to save her. When the shadows slipped out the door and through the cracks. My body wouldn’t stop shaking. Shock, the paramedic who’d looked at me said - but it wasn’t from seeing a person die, like he thought.

Whatever the shadows were, they’d done this. And they’d done it on purpose just to mess with us. Not us. James. To mess with James.
