Chapter 84 Nicole

• I stood frozen, my senses increased their concentration as the rustling of leaves grew louder and closer. My heart began to race, and every nerve in my body tensed in anticipation of whom was approaching.
• It would be a lie if I said I didn't know the cause of the rustling. It was obvious that my uncle was now aware of our little stunt. And he won't rest until he finds us or me.
• Me. I should stay behind, I should get caught. That's the only way to save myself and Emily. If I stay and get caught, I can convince my uncle that there's no one else but me. That way, Emily will find her way out of here and get help for me.
