Episode 16 - Burn Them
Sebastian carried me bridal style as we walked out from Charles's mansion together, walking oddly slow despite what was about to happen.
Cammie and Carter looked up from the car, brows drawing together in concern.
I saw the mark in my right eye glowing in the reflection of the car window, the only part of me not shadowed. And Sebastian's red eyes were glowing, as well... like they were reflecting light from a lamp.
He was angry, I could tell.
Scarlet and Maddox just ran out from behind us, rushing over to them. "TAKE COVER! NOW!" they yelled together.
Cammie and Carter blinked before their arms were caught by the other two, and they were shoved behind some cement wall as Sebastian kept walking with me.
Seconds later, the mansion's windows blew out.
A loud, echoing explosion boomed through the entire area, rattling my bones and the trees around us.
All four servants screamed from their position, hiding under the wall.
Sebastian tucked my head into his chest, lowering his own as the force blew his hair forward, including mine.
Although, despite the explosion being hard enough to knock an elephant off his feet, Sebastian remained standing, holding me tightly.
A seconds later, it ended, and Sebastian's hair as well as his clothes settled back in place, but he kept holding onto me tightly.
But he finally let go, very slowly, gazing down at me. "Master, are you hurt?"
I never responded, just stared at the fire burning through the windows of the torn manor.
The flames reflected in my eyes, glowing... burning... hot.
I settled back into myself, the numbness consuming me again.
It's gone... it's all gone.
"Master..." Carter said then, stepping out from their hiding place with the others, "the teenagers."
My lashes lowered. "They were already dead."
