The woman stepped back with fear in her eyes.“You would soon be on fire. Can't you see?” The woman asked hysterically as she glanced at Zara who just came out of the room too. She looked at the woman and began wondering what she was saying.“Is she okay?” Zara whispered as she held Jake's elbow to calm him down.“
