章 196: Estel ~ Awakening {2}

My heartbeat pulsated and I remained frozen on the spot with shuddering breaths, the shock taking over my mind and body filled with nothing but the blood gushing from Estel's eyes which were closed. There was a sharp ringing in my ears and I noticed her mouth was moving. She was calling for me but I couldn't move my body.

Dread

Terror

All gathered and pinned my legs to that spot, I eventually willed my body to move as the dread increased and it wasn't little steps for I hurried on my feet and kneel before her and placed my hands on her shoulder.

"E-Estel! What happened, did you hurt yourself?!"

She shook her head.

More panic filled me, if she didn't hurt herself then...

"I just stood at the mirror and then my eyes stung"

I gulped.

"It started bleeding and I panicked"

Oh, dear gods. "I-Is it hurting right now? I can't think… does it hurt, just keep your eyes closed, okay"
