"Then they will kill your parents."
The words Daniel uttered went over her head and came back to stab her in the heart.
"Kill my parents." She repeated to see how real they were. The three words tasted bitter on her tongue.
Daniel held her chin and made her look at him. His dark eyes holding her like magic, she saw her reflection in them. Drowning, mingling in the black.
"Your parents are still alive and somewhere only they know." He told her, slowly, so she absorbed the information he was giving her. She nodded.
"We have to follow them. We have to save your parents before it's too late."
"Save them." She whispered. Daniel took her hand and turned to follow the cloaked figures, now far away. She couldn't see them, Daniel could.
"Why now?" She didn't move. Her brows furrowed.
