"What are you doing here!" Avery hissed.

"I was here to-"

"Mija?" A demanding voice came from downstairs.

"Quick!" Avery hissed, her eyes widened, "You have ninety seconds to hide. If you are found, you die!"

“What if they’re serious?”

“What do we do?”

Eros grabs my hand and we run.

‘Eros…”

I start, fear starting to crawl into my mind. He looks at me sadly and kisses me swiftly. Te...
