Chapter Fifty Six

- something | couldn’t explain. But whatever | had seen two days ago was gone; now he was back to his cold
self.
Maybe he did regret tellingabout his past, because for the past two days he had barely exchanged Words
with me, or maybe it was justbeing paranoid and he was simply busy and stressed. His injury healed fast
too, and now the marks looked weeks old, even though it had been barely two days. Axel hadn't visited either,
and | worried if something was wrong. Either way, | was not planning on remaining in our room all alone today; |
was going to pay a visit to the training grounds and maybe explore a little too.
| got dressed, ready to leave, when a knock on the door interrupted me. Axel?
I rushed to the door and pulled it open, and my face fell visibly when | noticed who stood there. Beatrix.
What the hell was she doing here? So far, | had imagined that this room was out of her zone, we only met in the

didn’t, but one thing was sure: she couldn't hurt me-right? I felt like the stupid little girls in books that trusted
their rival and ended up killed, but after what Thane had told me, | was more than interested in learning more.
“What is this thing you think | would be interested in?”
Beatrix ledthrough an elevator and down to the last floor, but she didn’t stop there; she took a staircase
leading us to... I didn’t know where the place was exactly, but it was quite dark, considering it was an
‘underground’ space.
I wasn’t that foolish.
“I see what you are doing, Beatrix; | won't follow you down there.”
“I won't do anything,” she promises, but do | believe her?, No. | don’t, and though I'm curious, I'm not stupid to
