Chapter 120

Astrid POV

The experience left me rattled. Feeling a thousand shades of scared, I stopped only in the driveway of my uncle’s house. It was a nice cottage with a wrapped around porch and lots of greenery surrounding it. The light of the porch was ori, its warm glow falling on the lone swing a carefully crafted plants.
