Ariana’s POV
Darko killed Principal Remus.
I felt nothing when he died—I think that might’ve been the only thing that bothered me, not the sight of his mangled body on the ground.
But before I could ponder on such an ominous feeling, Damon was in front of me and I felt for the first time, what people who weaponized magic could feel.
I was only able to because the attack had been meant for me—to kill me.
I froze, severely unstable for a moment and then turned behind me, everything destroyed to pieces and a vacant space that travelled into another office.
I shifted my head.
Darko was really trying to kill me.
But—why would he?
I staggered backwards.
Of course; he betrayed me, that was why.
I believed in yet another lie, aimlessly, with my entire being and purpose only to return to me with an intent to blow my head off.
I could be just that fucking stupid.
My eyes caught something that dripped to the ground like liquid.
It was crimson… blood.
