Relief washed over his fear and his heart finally calmed down. "Thank God, you are fine." He pulled her gently into a warm embrace and buried his face on her shoulder. "I was so worried."
"You don't have to worry that much. Riley and Savannah protected me so well." she told him while returning his hug. "I am glad you are safe, too."
Savannah and Riley looked towards each other and smiled faintly. Instead of the two of them protecting Jillyanna, it was more like of Jillyanna protected them.
Jillyanna realized it first that they were facing an enemy. She made the first attack and made sure that no one will get to her. Sad to say, she still got herself shot on her shoulder.
"I didn't know that there would be more of them. I'm sorry I left you in danger." he mumbled his apology. He felt so guilty that she was in grave danger and he wasn't around to protect her.
