Zera closed her eyes. Eros was so close to discovering her and Beatrix. She could sense it.
She had crossed her fingers behind her, uttering a curse and a prayer to whoever might be listening.
Chills had already crept up her spine, making her shiver in anticipation of them being discovered.
Clutching her hands into fists, Zera could almost feel her nails digging through her skin. If her nails managed to cut through her flesh, that would be no surprise.
Slam!
Re-opening her eyes, Zera flinched at the loud bang of a door slamming close, echoing from outside.
"Ooh." Eros cooed, her presence immediately vanishing from the room Zera and Beatrix were in.
"What was that?" Beatrix whispered. Zera waited for a few more minutes before she leaped out of their hiding place. It was hopeless to find any key.
To add, she was thinking of their other friends right now. That door slamming thing was probably their doing.
