Genevieve gave out a large scream as rage flashed in her eyes. There isn't no way she was going to let the burn slide.

The bell for a new day jingled and the girls woke up from their sleep sluggishly. The atmosphere was tensed though no one said anything to the other person, the mini chatter that follows every new dawn before they dispatch themselves to their various allocations was gone. Their silences was deafening and it was also a confirmation of their fear, a sad reality they must adapt to. Number thirteen didn't make any attempt to move her body an inch away from the bed. She cries throughout the night, her eyes were puffy and she couldn't get rid of the sight she had witnessed out of her head. She recalled in her head countlessly the moment number fourteen had stretched her hands towards her for help and she was helpless about it, tickles of tears fell from her eyes.

"You're a great and heartless actress number eleven." She said within herself as she stared hard

The garden was the perfect place for him to replenish his lost energy. The reoccurrence of the pain was a reminder that he was running out of time but since he came back from the human world, he has a great feeling he would meet Elkanel soon and his pain would soon cease but before then, he will have to bear the pangs of the pain and hang in there to prove Acris wrong.
