NovelEnglishChapter 0352 Nina - Enzo’s face was as white as a sheet - when I turned around to look at him.
We all knew that Richard was going to die, but Enzo seemed completely out of it — and for good reason, of course.
Even though Enzo and Richard had their differences, he was still Enzo’s father.
I wished that I could comfort Enzo during those moments, but I couldn’t.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause as I looked at Enzo’s pale, shaking face, I felt my phone buzz. I pulled it out, my eyes widening as I saw Lori’s text on the screen.
They had seen Selena outside. She was coming, and we needed to get out of here before she caught us.
“Enzo,” I said, storming up to him and grabbing his wrists. It pained me to force him to move now when he was in shock, but it had to be done. “Lori texted me. Selena is coming. We have to go now.” Enzo’s eyes snapped back to reality, and recognition flashed across his face.
He nodded before rushing over to Richard’s bed and scooping him up. I heard Richard mumble Enzo’s name, and Enzo responded with some words of comfort, but I stood by the door with Luke to give them some privacy.
We made our way through the corridors, back down the stairs and then through the maze once more.
Luke led the way with Enzo carrying Richard at the back, and the three of us moved quickly through the dark mansion, Finally, we pushed our way
back out into the cool night, and made a run for it across the road to where Matt, Lori, and Jessica were waiting.
But when we arrived, my worst fears had become a reality.
Matt, Lori, and Jessica laid limp on the ground. Standing over them, dressed in dark cloaks, were Selena and the witch.
Selena slowly looked up at me as we approached. Her eyes were wide and full of insanity as they glinted in the moonlight, and the haggard old witch stood behind her like a minion.

in shock down at my friends. I didn’t see any blood, but they weren't moving. - “What did you do to them?!” I shouted, balling my hands up into fists. I started to storm toward Selena, but she casually put her hand up and that somehow caused me to stumble backwards, as though an invisible force was holding me back.
“Shh,” she said, flashing me a toothy grin. “They’ll be fine. They're just sleeping.” Suddenly, Matt stepped forward. He still had Richard’s frail body in his arms. “What do you want, Selena? What do you want from us?” €» Selena chuckled. It was a low, sinister chuckle; the kind that I only ever heard in horror movies. I couldn't fathom
that there was a real person who was actually like that, let alone the fact that she was standing right in front of me: Then, Selena shrugged. Her face fell. “I want you, Enzo.” Her voice was now Jow and even. “I want you to come with me and be my mate. And I don’t want you to ever even think about her again.” She pointed at me then.
But I wasn’t convinced. Selena had much more sinister intentions than simply wanting a boy to love her. I knew that secretly, she wanted me out of the picture because I posed a threat in more ways than just love. She knew that I was destined to kill her, and she also knew that she couldn’t kill me unless she also wanted to die. Either both of us needed to live, or neither of us could live.
As Enzo and Selena stared at one another, I felt Luke subtly nudge my arm. I slowly slid my gaze over to him without turning my head, then saw him nod his head toward Matt, Lori, and Jessica. They were beginning to wake up, which meant that I could open a portal and get us all out of here.
Then, I looked down at Luke’s hands.
He was slowly, subtly creating symbols with his hands and muttering something under his breath. I wouldn't have known that he was even saying anything if it weren't for the fact that I was close enough to see his lips ever so slightly moving.
