Chapter 30: Eclipse

< Shirley > My eyes fluttered open only to see a sharp jawline and a handsome face. I blinked a few times to adjust my vision, realizing it was Dylan, and I was in his arms, my feet dangling in the air. It felt like I had woken up from a long nightmare, but it seemed only a minute had passed in the real world. I tried to speak, but my throat hurt like hell, leading me to cough. "Don't worry. I have called the doctor," Dylan assured. "Don't speak until then." I nodded weakly and clutched a handful of his fabric in my fist, trying to peek over his shoulder. I instantly regretted doing so as I ended up seeing the pool of blood of those two men who had held me. I hid my face in his shoulder, locking an arm around his shoulder. I felt a hand softly patting my head, helping me relax my nerves. "It's okay," Dylan assured. Hearing many footsteps approaching, I tried to sneak another peek to find many men in white shirts and black pants, armed with many weapons, and quickly surrounded us.
