Pain exploded through Mira's body as she tried to stay awake but she could slowly her consciousness slipping away. Blood trickled down her arm and legs as the wood shards were still stuck in her body. It was nothing compared to the real danger that loomed over. Marcus. He stared down at her with his pitch black eyes in amusement,his fingers still gripping her chin tightly. She was nothing but a prey stalked by a predator.
"Aren't you too old to know by now that it's wrong to go snooping around other people's business?" Marcus murmured, tilting his head to the side.
Mira looked over his head as his eyes terrified her. It looked like a bottomless pit that was trying to swallow her whole. "I'm not snooping around. I came here searching for you and I thought an intruder came in" She lied, her voice surprisingly steady despite the trembling in her limbs.
