Rose’s POV
“This way.”
The group, who stopped and examined an opening in the forest where the first attack had occurred, now moves after Luca, who has quickened his stride.
I notice that I am not the only one who has to practically jog to keep up with the other’s ridiculously long legs.
Ava and Ali are both squinting in the sun as they speedwalk beside me, occasionally glancing at me, as if waiting for me to say something, or anything at all.
So far, I have avoided answering most of their questions. They seem to have a strangely strong curiosity regarding me. I am not sure if it’s because I am a witch, or because they think Luca is interested in me.
Perhaps both.
My footsteps falter when we reach a familiar area, where we had been attacked before reaching the castle’s secret entran
