"Not really, sweetheart. White just passed me a message which reads, 'You have 24 hours before becoming a captive. May luck be in your favor; Rosefire.'"
"What does it even mean?" My body went numb as the weight of his words crashed over me, while my heart started to race as my mind started to process what he had just said. The room felt smaller, the air heavier, as if everything around me was closing in.
"The message was sent 4 hours ago. That means you have 20 hours to bring me my Ghost ring." Eagle said it as if he were discussing something trivial, he was enthusiastic. But the panic in my chest was real, while my mind struggled to catch up with his calm tone.
I stared at him, still paralyzed. My thoughts were jumbled, swirling in every direction.
What if I failed?
What would happen to me if I didn't complete this?
I didn't have the answers, but I could already feel the consequences waiting for me. I will be a captive; forever…
