Chapter 267: Who Is He?

Before she could understand what was happening, the guard grabbed her hand and pulled her through the wall of fire. Angela wanted to scream and she tried to push him away, but it was useless. Heat slammed into her chest and she knew she should be burning, but the pain did not come. Her heart thudded so hard she thought it would break, yet the flames faded and she could hardly feel anything at all. Fear and relief tangled inside her as she opened her eyes.

"We are out of the fire. Move," the guard said.

Angela stared at him, stunned. She kept looking at her arms and clothes, checking and checking because she could not believe she had walked through the flames and come out whole.

"What?" Angela said, her voice small even though she wanted to shout. Around them people were running for shelter, crying and calling names. She felt raw and alone.

"Trust me..."

"That’s the only shit you’ve been saying all day," Angela hissed, slamming her foot on the ground. She was tired, angry, and desperate to get out of there before the enemies caught up with her.
