Crystal's POV:
"Okay." I struggled to come up with a satisfactory response to Rufus. This was the best and only option left.
Again, Rufus stroked my hair tenderly and murmured, "Don't think too much. Go back and have a rest. Wait for my news."
I nodded mechanically. My mind was a mess now, so I agreed and went back to my place.
Looking around at the empty palace, I felt a pang of agitation. I lay on the bed numbly and gazed out the window at the moonlight. I didn't know what Arron was going through now.
I couldn't rest easy for more than a few seconds thinking that Arron could be in an unfamiliar place and in danger.
Last night went off without a hitch. Why would anyone want to hurt a good boy like Arron? My eyes became heavier, and I could feel my tears about to well up.
While I lay in bed, thinking about how much energy I'd need to go looking for Arron tomorrow, I finally succumbed to closing my eyes.
But seconds later, I opened them again and took a few deep breaths.
Once I closed my eyes, all I could see was blood everywhere. The worst possible outcome kept running through my mind.
I would see Arron covered in blood.
So I got up in a hurry and knelt down in front of the window, praying to the Moon Goddess.
"Great Moon Goddess, please protect Arron and help
me find him." I lowered my head and prayed devoutly.
