Third-person POV
Electra wasn't exactly shocked when Seraphina said she was born to die. After all, that strange creature had called her an abomination and warned her that her life was slipping away, but what did surprise her was Seraphina's next statement—that she wasn't supposed to exist.
That part made her freeze. It wasn't that she doubted it, not after what the creature had told her. It was the way Seraphina said it, like she knew something Electra didn't. Like she had proof.
Electra frowned, staring at Seraphina intently. "What do you mean I'm supposed to exist? How exactly do you know that?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.
Seraphina sighed, brushing a hand through her hair before looking Electra straight in the eye. "After we tried falling asleep again to return to the past, I actually managed to go back," she admitted. "You didn't come with me, but I made it back to the moment when our mothers were speaking."
