Two officers held Erika as she the This is all your fault!”
Rain streamed down her face while her soaked hair stuck to her cheeks in messy clumps.
“Get her out of here the lead officer barked “Don’t let her hurt anyone else.”
The two officers quickly wrestled Erika to the ground, yanking her arms behind her back as the cold handcuffs clicked shut. They hauled her up and diaped her toward the rooftop exit, half-carrying, half–pushing her along.
Erika’s screams turned into hoarse curses as her stru
curses as her struggles grew weaker and weaker, until finally her voice faded into nothing
Erika’s shoes scraped against the concrete as the officers dragged her away. She stumbled several times, nearly falling, but they kept a firm grip on her

Asher figure disappeared down the spiral staircase, Serena couldn’t take her eyes off Keith
Keith looked deathly pale, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe, He pressed his lips together and swayed on his feet, but he gritted his teeth and refused to collapse,
Blood covered his right hand, and the wound on his side wouldn’t stop bleeding. Even the heavy rain couldn’t wash away the bright red stain that kept spreading across his shirt.
A nearby officer immediately radioed for an ambulance, but the howling wind and rain on the rooftop were scrambling the signal.

Keith was lying quietly on the hospital bed, his face completely drained of color. Thick bandages were wrapped around his tors seeped through, turning the white gauze a deep red
Serena’s steps slowed as she walked over to his bedside, her eyes locked on his pale face. “Does it still hurt?” she asked softly.
Vhen Keith saw her standing there, he managed a weak smile. “I’m okay,” he whispered.
