Teddy
She felt her teddy slowly slide down. In panic she tried to grab it again, but at the same moment he slipped out of her grip. "Theo!" She pushed herself against Isabelle's grip to stop her. She had to pick him up. But her sister continued to drag her along. "
What are you doing?" Ciara gasped, "I have to take Theo with me." As she continued to pull at her sister, she looked back. She could see Theo sitting alone in the snow under a lantern. And they moved away more and more. Isabell just pulled her on without relenting. Ciara was about to object again when her eyes fell on the snow under the lantern. The sight made her blood freeze and she let out a choked cry.
"I'm sorry ..." she could hear Isabell panting.
Her sister's grip on her hand tightened and Ciara let herself be drawn. She had seen the footprints. How they had gradually emerged in the snow, right next to Theo. Their pursuers were right behind them. The sisters ran through the dark streets as fast as they could, not knowing if they would experience the morning.
