The beast's gaze remains locked onto her like a predator zeroing in on its prey, having sensed her about a few seconds ago. Or had it been longer - she had no idea. Panic surged through her veins, and when it looked like the creature began garnering enough energy to pounce, she immediately ripped h
Marisol looked from one parent to the other.

Marisol stepped out of Leticia's chambers with a million thoughts bubbling in her head. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. Maybe she wanted to do both. It was so unfair. Her parents had told her she was destined for greatness. Was this fate's idea of greatness? To be made to sacrifice
