What they didn't know was, something bad was about to happen.
The monster's body had fallen clean off to the ground. Scarlet didn't move, but narrowed her eyes at the lady on the ground, the one attacked - Ariana.
A shadow passed by her side, and when it did, the voice said, "Please bare with me for a few minutes."
She looked forward, and it was Mr Cross - he was already striding towards the lady. Hadn't he noticed something was off already?
But no, it seemed he did. Because right as he was a metre away from her, he froze in his step too. Axel was about to step closer when...
Timothy cautioned him by stretching his arm forward. "Don't stay close."
Axel looked between Ariana and Timothy with a frown on his face. He asked in a concerned tone, "Why shouldn't I...?"
"Look at her," was all Timothy said, in a low tone.
