Her eyes narrowed as she glared at ain, the orbs gloith her waterwith more than a touch of madness For the first time, I sahat Owen did when he looked at her - someone who needed help
Salina et it from me
Chapter 31
The water continued to rain down all around Salina andin the middle of a thunderstorm We faced each other in thethe overturned tables, the broken dishes, the crushed chairs, the shattered Ice bars Then, her gaze swung back to
"This is your fault," she ! Owen! My revenge! Everything!"
I grinned "I have a way of doing that "
Salina s to be the last thing you ever ruin, you assassin whore And once you're gone, Oill come back to me I knoill "
I looked at her, wondering if she really believed that, if she really believed Oould co that had happened, after everything that she'd done to the people he cared about But her conviction filled her face, hter For a moment, I almost felt sorry for her
Then the bitch blasted ot over it
Salina raised up her hands, and the water droplets that had been clinging to her skin began toall around her I realized ere in a different kind of garden now - a water garden in which Salina was the queen and I was just her unfortunate victim
"You really should have drowned in the creek while you had the chance," she hissed "Because now, I' to tear you limb from limb "
She waved her hands again, and the water vines shot out from her skin and slammed into mine It was the same sensation I'd had when she'd tried to drownaround my whole body
Only this ti me apart
I watched in horror as the water vines began to sprout long, sharp, curved thorns For aforward, the thorns ripping into my skin I screamed, but the thorns continued to burrow deeper and deeper into my body with every breath I took It felt like my skin, my muscles, evenout of the hundreds of tiny pricks the thorns had made in me I had no doubt Salina could do exactly what she clais, hell, even o that extra step and pop my eyes out of my skull like she'd done to Antonio Either way, it would be a horrible, painful way to die
I reached for ainst the thorns' intrusion But that only slowed the onslaught - it didn't stop it
