Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Give It Back

Sophia’s POV

I started sobbing as soon as I saw her.

“Mom!” I screamed as I rushed to the window.

She looked at me and gave me a small smile.

“No!” I screamed loudly.

My heart broke and I felt the urge to break the glass between us. I couldn’t let my mom do this. I couldn’t let her get hurt. The darkness was mine, not hers. I was the one who was supposed to be in that room, not her. I was the one who was supposed to fight it, not my mom. She had enough. She did enough. She’d been through enough. She deserved to be happy with my dad. She didn’t deserve to be trapped in that room.

“Hi, my baby,” my mom said, placing her hand on the window.

Something between a sob and a scream escaped my lips. I couldn’t hold back the pain I felt. I had to get her out. I had to take the darkness back.

“Why, Mom?!” I cried out as I placed my hand on the glass as well. “Why?!”

I felt my dad’s hands on my shoulders. He pulled me to his chest and wrapped his arms around me tightly.

“I couldn’t let anything happen to you, baby,” my mom said, her voice laced with pain. “I had to protect you. I should have done this years ago.”

I shook my head and another sob escaped me.

“No, Mom,” I cried out. “Give it back to me. Let me in and give it back.”

My dad kissed the top of my head. I felt Lex take my hand in his.
