liquid. I had this weird feeling like | had seen this before.
“Maybe I'm supposed to drink this,” she muttered. | gave a shrug. She took it back from my hand, and | watched

The darkness took over; but her words rang through my head; ‘Sdangers are just unavoidable.”
Isabella had known what | wanted the most and had used it against me. A part oftrusted her because | didn’t
