Chapter88:

Footsteps could be heard clearly. My heart picked up race. My gaze swept down my ring. The symbol of danger was visible around my wrist. I tightened my fingers. I couldn't pull the ring out and she closed her hand around me. She placed her second hand on my mouth as I was going to scream.         He was roaring my name in rage. He glared at chains, "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" He stomped toward the path I came from.        Shocked, I glanced at her. She glanced down at our hands. An amber glow covered our hands.        "You're the Fire Queen," She whispered, mouth gaping.         "I was expecting these words earlier when you see my eyes," I tried to pull my hands away.        Her fingers tightened and she curled her second arm around me, "Oh, girl." I felt a connection with her. I hadn't seen her before. I pulled my head back. Her eyes were clouded with water.         "Why are you crying?" I frowned.         "Thanks for saving me. Let's get out of here," She blinked her eyes.
