She was gone.
Voss rushed after her and reached the doorway just in time to see her figure disappearing into the distance.
His eyes widened.
"Oh no."
He looked toward Mira.
"This is bad."
Then he turned back toward the street.
"Very bad."
Whoosh!
Irina crossed the distance with terrifying speed.
The village blurred around her as she sprinted forward, her long dark hair streaming behind her. She did not slow down for obstacles, did not look toward the villagers who turned in shock at the sudden movement, and did not care who saw her.
Her entire world had narrowed down to one thought.
Liam.
Three seconds.
That was all it took.
Two hundred metres disappeared beneath her feet.
Irina finally stopped.
Her boots dug into the ground as she came to a sudden halt directly in front of Eldric's house.
For a moment, everything was silent.
The house stood exactly as it always had.
Dark.
Quiet.
Unwelcoming.
Irina's hands clenched.
Her eyes became cold.
