Chapter 9 Lurking Rumors

• Luna looked at Aurora with teary eyes, feeling both desperate and hopeful. "But the master has men everywhere. If they catch us..." she whispered, her voice shaking.
• Aurora felt scared about their situation. The mafia was powerful, and trying to escape could get them killed. But she couldn’t let Luna’s fear take away her hope. "We'll be careful," she promised, trying to sound strong. "We'll find a way."
• Aurora remembered Miss Catherine's words: 'You're new, you don't know who Lily is.' She wondered if Lily could help them or if she would be against them. She thought that making friends with the other girls might be strange, but if it helped them survive, she was willing to try.
