Chapter 8

I was too tired to care.
Emily stepped closer, her sharp, silver dagger glinting as she moved. Seeing that a majority of my body had already turned to seafoam made her laugh with glee, and she reached to scoop me out of the water.
The moment my body came into contact with the air, I started dissolving even faster.
“Die, Marina!”
The dagger lashed out at my heart like a venomous snake, but before it did, it was caught midair. The dagger sliced the hand of the person who caught it, dripping blood into the tank and dyeing the seawater red.
Emily hadn’t reacted before she was kicked to the ground.

Cyrus‘ eyes filled with sorrow when he saw the state of my body, which quickly turned into fury and hatred when directed at Emily.
“Emily, why did you want to kill Marina? She’s never done a thing to you!”
