The Truth Darius Buried
Lyra's POV
"The night everything changed."
My words hung between us, no one moved, no one breathed right and Darius stared at me hard.
Like he was trying to see through me and Kael's grip on my arm tightened.
"Say it again," he said and I swallowed and my throat burned.
"She was there," I repeated.
"The masked woman."
There was silence and Darius stepped back, just one step but I saw it.
That shift, that fear.
"You are sure?" he asked.
"Yes."
My voice did not shake now.
"I saw her."
"When?" Kael asked.
"That night."
"What night?" Darius pressed and my chest tightened.
"You know what night."
His jaw tightened, he knew, he knew exactly.
"That night," I said again.
"The fire, the blood, the screams."
