Chapter 40

• CONNOR'S POV
• As soon as the light died down, I came to my senses, and I looked up at my demolished house, and the smoke was still clearing.
• I wiped the rain out of my face to try and see properly, and I was sure that Aurora was dead. How could anyone survive that? But then I saw a figure appear from the dust; she was slowly walking across the rubble, finding her way out of the house, and she stopped at the front of the house to look at me.
