Chapter 331
"What are we doing here, Adrian?" Asmara asked me as we stood on a hill far, far away from the battle scene.
"We're getting ready to leave," I simply replied.
"No," She said, looking deep into my eyes, her red eyes full of desire to believe something other than me being the reason for this war.
However, I couldn't deny that I was the reason for this war so I moved my eyes away from her. "You have a family back home, Asmara. You cannot be here. You can't die here."
"I will not run away, Adrian," She said with determination.
"I know," I replied before I nodded, "But it's not up to you."
A flash of lightning and a moment later, Asmara was deep asleep. Rose stopped beside her, grabbing her so she wouldn't fall. I looked at all of them, spotting some hesitation in Sasha's eyes as well, but she didn't step up to me.
No, it wasn't because she knew she had no other choice. It was something else. Something more annoying.
