Lily didn’t want to show weakness in front of these monsters–but she was panicking. She was scared. And no matter how hard she tried to hold it back, tears slipped down her cheeks.

“Why does everything Mathilda says get taken as the truth? I swear–I can prove she set me up!”

Bodger’s expression darkened, his grip tightening with fury. “You nearly killed her, and now you’ve got the nerve to make excuses?”
