Gabrielle remains like a statue on the other side, feigning a smile. “You don’t scare me little girl.”


    I plaster a smile on my face, sensing his fear, and I drink it whole. “Now you and I both know that’s a lie.” Then I fall to the concrete, blood dripping from almost every part of my body as I wait for the right moment to save the world.


    With or without Monarch’s help.
