After a couple of checks, the Physician said something to Eli but with the distance between them, she couldn't hear it, although the fury in his eyes when he turned to her was enough explanation.
The Physician certainly did not have good news and Eli believed she was responsible for whatever that was.
Well, he was incorrectly correct.
He approached her, every step promising doom.
At that moment, she feared him. It was a foreign feeling, a way she had not felt even during the Choosing Ritual.
This fear was just different. It was more cripply.
A guard kicked the back of her knees and she fell to the ground, on her face, the impact painful.
They pulled her to her knees immediately, her hands helped apart, while one yanked her hair backwards, so her gaze was fixed upward.
Her teeth gnashed against one another in pain.
"You are one of them. The Eye." Eli said, his voice cold and hard.
The Eye?
