My heart was beating so fast. A dreadful feeling gripped me. I didn't know why Sophie chose to stay behind.
I felt so guilty for leaving without her. Wasn't the sole purpose to risk my life and come here so far. Then how could I go back empty-handed? That's not fair.
Moisture gathered at the brim of my eyes. Threatening to be free but I didn't want to look weak. When Darius said that Sophie will be safe and come after us soon I noticed the look in his eyes. He believed each word.
If an outsider could believe Sophie that much, why couldn't I? Her sister. I knew she was not weak, she never had been. Back in the back I always wished to be like her. Strong and confident. She was my role model, I always looked up to her.
