Not Eva.
Not even my own mother…
That’s just another reason why I hated Eva. For she would never give me an ounce of love, yet here she is, in her last moments, showing this crazed fucker that despite the madness and chaos she tossed herself in, she found someone who ignited a different emotion within her.
She loves him… for real.
The wave of envy that hits me is unexpected.
It taints all of this, making me realize that despite her approaching end, I carry not an ounce of satisfaction. That ruins my drive to take the steps needed to be victorious. For now, I have witnesses, and unless a miracle happens, I’ll not only have to witness Eva’s murder.
I’ll have to be the contributing force to kill my Ruthless comrades. All for the sake of preserving my shot at proving to that fucker that I can rule what he’s desperate to maintain in his possession.
Damn you. Damn you all.
My resolve is clear.
“I have to kill you all,” I quietly vow.

HOW TO PROTECT A QUEEN
~GEMINI~
I’m going to die…
That heaviness of fear affirms what I can see is my inevitable doom—the Zamboni only seconds from running over me.
It’s not the anticipation of pain and potential death that makes me rigid in place, but the sight of the man I didn’t expect would race to my aid.
Even if he’ll be far too late to stop the inevitable.
If nothing from the past proves Zander’s loyalty, it’s this very moment, as he does everything in his power to run on the slippery surface beneath us, that seals it in stone.
Immense dedication that I’ve never seen a man perform on my behalf.
That’s what makes all of this ironic.
I finally feel this fuzzy sensation in the depths of my stomach while my heart gallops at the idea of him being left behind in the land of the living.
While I fall into the clutches of the dead.
He made me realize I’m not a broken object because of the countless acts of suffering done to destroy me.
I just need to be showered with bits of love.
Pampered with affirmations of affection and actions of loyalty.
I’m not a defective product that can only be used to please another.
I can be loved… nurtured… praised… and cherished like a Queen, determined to stand beside her Kings.
I realize that.
A shame that it’s far too late… especially with our enemy still among us. I have one bullet left that only needs a flick of the special button to activate, but that coward of a Leighton, Domino, is hiding.
I missed because, for a split second, I hesitated in killing him.
