As soon as I’m outside, I suck in a breath, the mountain air filling my burning lungs as I fight to regain control. My heart aches. I literally sacrificedeverythingto defeat Lucy. And as soon as I do, as soon as I am ready to come home, Delaney is pissed at me. How can she not understand? How can she not appreciate that I showed up when I needed to?

I know she didn’t agree with me keeping the power, but it’s what we needed, right?

Let me help you, poor thing. I can take away the pain. Everyone turns their backs on you. Tarnley was angry earlier, and we’d saved his life. Delaney was angry, and we’re the reason Lucy is gone. They don’t deserve us. They never have. Stop being a doormat, and start being a motherfucking queen.

Power surges, seeping into my mind and steadily eating away at my pain. Breathing becomes easier as the tears stop.

Maybe there doesn’t have to be an end.

Silence surrounds me. No screams. No fighting. Just complete silence.

And somehow, that’s even worse. Because it’s in this silence that I realize I never want to let this power go.

Even if it kills me.
