Stella's POV

I was relieved when I learned that Devon was alive and well.

He would be scarred for life, but he'd still have all his body functions.

"Can you bring in, Devon?" I asked.

Enzo nodded and did a motion with his hand.

Dev entered, his face full of fear.

"Hello Devon," I greeted. "I'm glad to see that you've made a swift recovery."

"Thank you," Dev replied. "I wish Kirtanta was this lucky."

I sighed. "Me too," I agreed. "Do you mind telling me what happened?"

Somebody, I... I couldn't tell what he looked like, he was wearing a mask. But he attacked us when we were alone." Devon told me.

I nodded, encouraging him to continue.

"He slashed at me with a sword," Devon continued. "And he held something up, which killed Kirtanta right away."

Devon sighed. "I... he was going to kill me, but he left me there, he said that I was already dying."

"Thank you," I said, quietly. "Now, I want you to go rest."

Devon sighed and nodded.

As he left, I stared at the photo of Kirtanta.

I'm sorry, Kirtanta... you never deserved this. I thought with tears in my eyes.

I looked at my people outside.

One of them was a traitor.

Somebody here was a murderer.

And I didn't know who it was.

I didn't know who to trust anymore.

I turned away and looked back at the picture.

I will find them... I swore. And I will get my vengeance.
