Chapter 14 - We both win in the end

Rosé clasped her hands over her mouth the moment the words fell out of it. Her eyes widened at Eva. Eva stared back blankly, not uttering a word. She turned away from Rosé and sat down on the bank of the river with her hands supporting her from behind, her left one was holding the map. The odd silence was more deafening than the roaring current. Rosé dropped her hands and also looked away, instead, she faced the river. The river mocked her because she hadn't been chosen. She wanted so much to prove herself but like they had told her before, she would be nothing else but a benign witch. Rosé could not even glance at Eva, afraid of what her aura would say if she looked into her.
