Sunny

It was stupidlyeasy to find Sam when you have two killers and a cop at your heels.

He was hiding out in The Shack after being denied solace by the Bones Brotherhood, because they don’t want to be collateral in my killer games. So much for friends.

“Please, don’t kill me, please!” he pleads, while tied up to a tree.

“I love hearing my victims beg,” I muse.

I step back to watch him squirm against the trunk. The poor fucker pissed himself in fear.

“But you will die today.”

“Please, no!” he screams. “Let me make it up to you, please, I am begging you. I only took our kid, that’s it.”

I raise a fist and punch him in the nose, and he yelps in pain. “You tookeverythingfrom me!”

I approach Atreus, who stands in the grass like a soldier, his hands behind his back, observing the scene.

“Are you ready?” I ask him.

He nods. “Show me.”

All right then. If he wants to see the depravity I’m capable of … who am I to deny him the pleasure?

I grab his belt buckle and slowly undo it. His eyes connect with mine in a flurry of emotions, but I want him in particular to watch what’s about to unfold.

He needs to see the full scale of my depravity.

The worst of the worst.

All three of them need to witness me so they know that I will not fucking yield to any man.

Orion

She pullsthe belt from the loops in a whisk and turns, only to strike Samuel right in the face. Blood gushes from his wounds, his face cut open, eyes bulging as he shrieks.

“Sunny, I’m sorry! Please, have mercy!”

“Apology not accepted, bitch!”

She keeps hitting him over and over, and the blood sprays from his body like a fountain of youth she’s extracting straight fromhis veins. I dare not intervene. Her revenge is hers and hers alone to take.

The way she moves as she hurts is like she’s dancing among the crimson droplets, and my pen is whooshing across the pages from the sheer inspiration she’s given me.

Goddess of vengeance

Truest intent

Justice shaped in metal and grins

A fire so hot it burns the sun

She embodies all

Singing the flames that surround my heart

She ignites me
