AVELYN’S POV
“Are you scared?” Hayden’s soothing voice managed to reduce my nervousness just a bit. I thought about hiding the fear I felt from him as I used to do in the past, but I knew that there was no point. We both knew that both of us were scared to the core. So I gave him a nervous smile as a reply. “A bit.”
“Don’t be. All of this will end quickly.” Hayden pulled me to his chest. And I could hear the rapid beating of his heart.
‘Oh, how I wish I was the Ghost now!’
‘No,’ I thought to myself. ‘I shouldn’t get terrified. If I get terrified, it will affect Hayden too. I can’t weaken him down.’
So I decided to bear the fear that was rising every passing minute.
I gripped Hayden’s hand when I heard the footsteps. My heart was jumping in my chest. And I felt that this was the end.
