Whimpering in fear, too terrified to think for myself, I did as Melanie orderedI freed my fingers
from Kyle's hair and climbed gingerly over his unconscious form, using the pillar as an anchor to
pull myself forwardIt felt steady enough, but the floor still moaned under us
I pulled myself past the pillar and onto the ground beyond itThis ground stayed firm under my
hands and knees, but I scrambled farther away, toward the safety of the exit tunnel
There was another crack, and I glanced backOne of Kyle's legs drooped farther down as a rock
fell from beneath itI heard the splash this time as the chunk of stone met the river belowThe
ground balenciaga twiggy shuddered under his weight
He's going to fall,I realized
Good,Melanie snarled
But? !
If he falls, he can't kill us, WandaIf he doesn't fall, he will
I can't just?
Yes, you canDon't you want to live?
I did
Kyle could disappearAnd if he did, there was a chance that no one would ever hurt me again
At least not among the people hereThere was still the Seeker to consider, but maybe she would
give up someday, and then I could stay here indefinitely with the humans I loved
My leg throbbed, pain replacing some of the numbnessWarm fluid trickled down my lipsI
tasted the moisture without thinking and realized it was my blood
I could feel the tremors from where vintage gucci bags I stoodAnother piece of floor splashed into the river
Kyle's weight shifted, and he slid an inch toward the hole
Melanie knew better than I what she was talking about
I stared at the face of the man who was about to die?the man who wanted me deadWith him
unconscious, Kyle's face was no longer that of an angry animalIt was relaxed, almost peaceful
The resemblance to his brother was very apparent
No!Melanie protested
I crawled back to him on my hands and knees?slowly, feeling the ground with care before each
inch I movedI was too afraid to go beyond the pillar, so I hooked my good leg around it, an
anchor again, and leaned around to wedge my hands uhr rolex under Kyle's arms and over his chest
I heaved so hard I nearly pulled my arms from their sockets, but he didn't moveI heard a sound
like the trickle of sand through an hourglass as the floor continued to dissolve into tiny pieces
I yanked again, but the only result was that the trickle sped upShifting his weight was
breaking the floor faster
Just as I thought that, a large chunk of rock plummeted into the river, and Kyle's precarious
balance was overthrown
?No!?I screamed, the siren bursting from my throat againI flattened myself against the column
and managed to pin him to the other side, locking my hands around his wide chest
?Help me!? I balenciaga bag black shrieked?Somebody! Help!?
CHAPTER 33
Doubted
Another splashKyle's weight tortured my arms
?Wanda? Wanda!?
?Help me! Kyle! The floor! Help!?
I had my face pressed against the stone, my eyes toward the cave entranceThe light was bright
overhead as the day dawned
?Wanda! Where are you??
Ian leaped through the door, the rifle in his hands, held low and readyHis face was the angry
mask his brother had worn
?Watch out!? I screamed at him?The floor is breaking up! I can't hold him much longer!?
It took him two long seconds to process the scene that was so different from the one he'd been
expecting?Kyle, trying to kill meThe scene that had been, just omega geneve seconds |
