Did the Prescott Empire birth a beast in a female shell?
“We’re getting rid of him.”
I side-glance at Domino, whose menacing gaze is trailing after Warren.
“Why do I feel as though that isn’t going to be as simple as it sounds?” I offer.
“She’s ours.” Domino accentuates his words with every syllable. “We didn’t fight for our crowns to share our prize with a fucking bodyguard.”
A part of me understands him and would agree, but after seeing Warren’s response to Gemini today, I’m concerned this isn’t going to be a ‘she’s ours, so fuck off’ debate.
Warren doesn’t need to listen to anyone.
If he doesn’t want you to be aware of his presence, he can pull it off effortlessly.
Even with my experience, he beats me in every way.
I’m sure if we don’t allow him some sort of reign in all this madness, it’ll come back to bite us in the ass.
I’m sure of it.
“We need to find a middle ground, Domino,” I say in a way that means more than what I’m implying with words. He’s in a state of sense that acknowledges the underlying concern in my eyes. “Because right now, someone’s trying to fuck us over.”
I feel the presence to my left, and a glance confirms Zander is back and isn’t on the verge of a mental breakdown.
“And if we don’t stand our ground now, we’re not going to make it to our next stage of reign,” I stress and let every hint of emotion wash away from my face. “We won’t allow that to happen, yes?”
They both nod in approval, and we’re looking at the exit, realizing our shiny new toy is in our captivity, despite the circumstances. If we have potential competition yearning toclaim what we’ve fought to claim for ourselves, this may prove we’ve hit a jackpot.
It looks like our path of carnage will have to start earlier than expected.
So be it.

YOU OWE US, WE OWN YOU
~GEMINI~
“Ihate you. I’ll always hate you.”
My flesh burns—laughter echoing in the hollows of darkness.
There’s no point in screaming.
Nowhere to run.
Why bother? It only excites them. Entice them to keep going. Being a silent puppet is better. They’ll get bored and stop.
“There you are, Iva.”
Chills rush through me, and I try not to show a glimpse of it in my eyes. There’s the tall figure waiting for me. A smile dons upon his lips as he looks pleased to see my presence.
It’s a shame when I have nothing to offer.
I’m not cute. My clothes barely cling to my skinny body.
There’s nothing to make me appear like a child from a prestigious family.
