Chapter Seventy

(Cara's POV)

Teo led me towards the exit; he held the most of my weight, and I limped trying to go faster.

"Wait!"

"No, we have to go," he said, tugging me on, but I had stopped moving. I thought I saw something. "That window," I said, pointing to the window we just passed.

"No, Cara, not now."

"Take me back," I said.

Teo made an annoyed sound before taking me back. I looked through the window; I knew what I had seen. The 'human' girls ran out of the gate, but there were two vampires running after them. Those two vampires alone would be able to finish them off; how did they escape?

"Sophie," I gasped.

"I'm sorry, Cara, we can't save them."

"Yes, we can't, but you can."

"Cara, I was given an order; I have failed him enough; please, we need to go."

"Face the truth, Teo, I won't be allowed out of here, but they... they are so close to freedom, please. I have done so many wrongs; I want to do this one right thing, please."

"Wait here, don't move one bit; you hear me, don't fucking move."
