When evil meets evil

Elodie’s P.O.V

Marcel’s words echoed in my mind, everything that happened in the last hour flashed through my head.

Squeezing my eyes shut, my mind wandered back to when Axel and Mae exchanged fleeting glances before darting their eyes back to me, their eyes glinting with shock. I was too stunned to speak.

Marcel, still staring at me, shifted his gaze back to Axel, his voice barely audible. “Darius….”

Axel cut in. “Was he the one who shot you? Did you see his face?”

Marcel nodded. “Yes, he shot me and then pushed me down the cliff. I don’t know how Mae got there but she jumped into the water and brought me out. I guess that I must have been badly affected by it for me to be here”

Tears stung the back of my eyes and Axel’s hands flew over his mouth while Mae broke down in tears.

While I struggled to grapple with the truth before me as Marcel stared at Mae in confusion before fixing his gaze back on me, he reiterated that heart-wrenching question. ‘You are crying again, who are you?”
