Chapter 277

CASSANDRA

The horrible sight before my eyes was the worst nightmare I’d ever seen, yet no matter how hard I pinched myself, it wasn’t going away.

As the fire covered Asher’s body, his skin began to peel down. Soon, the black burnt skin became ashes, and then the ashes disappeared entirely and blew down the corridor.

“No!” I screamed out of anger and sorrow. “No, no, no!”

My lungs ached as I cried out, but I couldn’t stop. Tears spilled down my face like a river, and my vision started to break out with spots as I shook.

No one was going to take Asher away from me.

This couldn’t be happening.

My skin began to burn again, and I realized the flames were engulfing me as well, but I didn’t care. There was nothing I could see but fire, endless, unstoppable fire. The screams and cries soon faded away, and as the flames danced around me, I realized that Ronald, Helene, and the other guests were gone too.

But somehow, despite my trauma and all that I’d endured at the hands of fire, my fear disappeared.

Without Asher, there was no point in going on. I wasn’t afraid anymore. I would accept my demise knowing that I did all I could in this lifetime.

But just as I resolved to close my eyes and accept my unavoidable and imminent death, a figure became clear in the inferno. They were standing not too far away from me, and when they walked forward, their features became more clear.

It was Emmett Keller.

“You’re finally here,” he remarked as the flames flicked around us. “I’ve been waiting for you for so long?

“Waiting for me?” I blurted out before I even had the chance to understand what was happening. “Why were you waiting for me, Emmett?”

His eyes remained fixed on mine and then he smiled calmly at me.

“I owe you an explanation,” he said.
