My strides after her began to increase, I began grinding my teeth as I closed the distance. In an instant, I landed on her body.
“End it,” she laughed, without a care in the world. If she did not care for this body, why had she tried to run away?
As much as I wanted to rip her throat out, I realized the body didn’t even belong to her. Killing this body did not mean she would die; she would only return as someone new. But I still also wanted to believe that Charles’s sister was still in there somewhere.
Instead, I grabbed her by the leg and began dragging her back. I let out several whimpers as my sight found its way back to Alejandro. This couldn’t be it, I told myself. I hadn’t been able to do anything for my grandfather, but there had to be something I could do for Alejandro.
