---- chose not to see who I was.

Helping me conceal my identity.

And then when he felt like I could breathe again.

He pulls both of us up, the pressure in my chest immediately lightening as we broke the surface of water.

T sucked in air in gasps, eyes squeezed shut as my rescuer pulled me toward the riverbank.

The rush of cold air against my wet skin blurred with the burn of exhaustion as I was taken to safety.

The first thing I did, was press my face into his chest and place my palm on his eyes.

Trying to hide my identity.

And he didn't seem to mind.

Tf anything I find him turning us around, making sure my back was to everyone.

So that no one can look at me.

We continue to stay like that.

I continue to tremble abd cough in his arms and he only tightens his grip around me.

You are safe.

---- eee He declares and I knew I was.noveldrama

With him being around me, I was always safe.

The only times I ever got hurt was when I was trying to run away from him.

Here.

Take it.

He speaks and I peek up from his shoulder to look at his hand in horror.

My mask! How...

how did he managed to save me and still get it.

I pluck it out of his fingers and hurriedly put it back on my face.

Th-thank you.

He barely nods and I gulp to look at anything but at him.

How long do you plan to rob me of my vision, Mr Robin.

My heart thuds.

Shit! T withraw my hand from his eyes and I see him look ---- down into my brown orbs.

There was something in those eyes.

But before I could read it? It was gone.

He pulls back from me and then without another word he turns around to leave.

Everyone rushes to me with towels and water, but all I could stare at? Was that broad back walking away from me.

Alex! Scout comes out of the tent the very next minute and I see him addressing Alex.] see everyone looking at Alex with hatred filled eyes.

He stood there with his head lowered Maybe regretting his decision of literally trying to kill me.

But it was too late.

There is no second change or repentance in the dictionary of Damien Theodore.

That's something ---- os which everyone present here knows about him.

You are expelled from the special seven this very second.

You are to pack your bags and leave.

However before you go...

Sir Damien will like to meet you one last time and give you a farewell.

Tis face turns ashen.

And everyone freezes.

One last meeting? No one needed to be told what it was going to be.
