บท 255: Too early to tell

Salma rushed into the house when she heard Celeste call out her name. Her feet came to an abrupt halt and her jaws fell when she saw Veron lying on the floor, unmoving and bleeding. 

Right behind her were Skye and Gideon. The same expression of shock registered on their faces when their eyes were met with the same sight. 

What the hell? They knew Veron had a plan before going to dragon valley, but did his plan include death? Gideon, for one, knew he was planning something with Salma, but it wasn't supposed to involve dying for real. What just happened? Did Celeste finally decide to kill him?

After the short moment of shock, Salma's feet moved and she approached Veron, falling to her knees beside his body and placing her right hand over the bleeding wound on his chest.
