129 First encounter

"Scarlet, I promise to find us a way tomorrow. Just bear with me for a while," he kept on pleading, moving closer to her, in an attempt to calm her down.

"I am unable to think properly, what if something went wrong? You know how hard it was for us to get here. With Aurora unconscious, how much can Damien do?" Throwing her hands up in the air, she began panicking, imagining different scenarios in her head.

Grabbing her shoulder, he made her stare into his eyes, making sure to grab her attention, "Do you trust me?" He asked. 

"I…I lost the most precious person to me because of you, I am not sure I can trust you when it concerns a life," she replied, hurting Enoch in the process.

His heart broke from hearing her say so because she was right. He was the cause of her pain, and it was selfish to ask her to trust him.

"Then would you trust Aurora? Trust that your friend is alive somewhere, waiting for you?" Changing the perspective, he asked.
