Finally, I heard a sound just as the day was breaking. I looked out through my window and saw Lucien’s car coming in, followed by many others. So many of our warriors had gone wherever he went with him. And they all came back injured. What did they do? What kind of operation had they taken out without telling me? I was going to rush downstairs when I noticed how quietly they moved, as if they were afraid of making any noise. A scoff escaped my lips. Was he really going to hide this from me? I saw Brian open the back door to help someone out. And that was when I saw Lucien. He was wearing a white shirt. A white shirt that was completely soaked in his blood. My legs went weak watching this sight. My whole body trembled in fear, especially when I saw his eyes closed. Lucien… was he dead?
