Lyra
I’ve never felt so afraid in my life as I did when I witnessed the bear attack earlier today.
Sure, I’ve been scared shitless before—like when Xavier and I got kidnapped, and even before that, when Liam threatened to ruin my life and that of my father’s.
Still, none of those moments compare to seeing Caine fight that bear, then collapse in a pool of his own blood after. The fear I felt…the horror and creeping sadness that settled in my chest—I’ve never felt anything like it in my entire life.
After Caine passed out, I screamed for help. Luckily, Henry and the other rogues were circling back along the forest’s west trail, and they found us.
While one of the rogues tried to comfort me, Henry and the other moved their leader, and together, we all went back to the camp.
