Devin's head was hung low, the Soul Eater heaving deep heavy breaths as he was still kneeling on the floor.
The others were attentively cautious of his every move, that even they paid more attention to his breathing.
Ivar and Levin knew that there is another man outside the door. They immediately knew that it was Arlo's stepfather since he stopped Arvid, worried about the man.
With Arvid's eyebrows furrowing as Arlo hid behind him, he was more worried about his stepfather than he is about himself.
His heart started to race, his hand on Arvid's shoulder as he whispered something beside his ear.
"My dad… please get him out. Please—"
"Don't be stupid," Arvid interrupted, whispering back at him. "We're going to get both of you out, we'll just have to wait for a good opportunity."
"Arlo! Arlo!"
An early update for today! What do you think of the story so far? Sadly, writing action scenes is not my great strength. XD It sucks, I know...
