Adea Even though we’d shared happiness for the future just moments before we were now on our way to Odis and Olivia. We were reminded of everything we had a few hours to escape. Our steps were heavy as we walked to the dungeons. My hands trembled and my throat felt like it had dried up. I wasn’t ready for what was about to happen but I held my head high as I clutched onto Ethan’s hand for dear life. When we reached the dungeon doors he squeezed my hand. “Just in case… it’s too much for you. Squeeze my hand 4 times,” he whispered. I shook my head. “I don’t care and I don’t want to hear that. I will NOT leave you. She was my friend too and I will stand by your side through the whole thing.” “Are you sure? Death is hard to watch and the death of a friend is unbearable,” he whispered.
