Third-person POV
Seraphina stopped a few steps behind Electra, her chest tight, her hands clenched into fists she didn't remember making. She couldn't stop her from making the big mistake she was so determined to make, and that was the worst part.
All she could do was watch as Electra raised her hand and knocked on the door to Irina and Roxana's room, a loud, sharp, and final sound in the quiet hallway. The knock echoed louder than it should have, each tap feeling like a countdown Seraphina hadn't agreed to.
Her heart pounded as she stood there, staring at the door like it might explode, and she wasn't even sure who she wanted to open it.
