Moving closer, he drew his finger across the blade to the tip and smirked at me. “Do you remember me?” he asked, stepping closer to me. “You killed my comrades when we came to find Sina, bathed in their blood.”
“So, what’s this?” I asked, glaring down at the blade. “You want payback?”
He sank the blade into my bullet wound and drew it up my abdomen, at least an inch deep. I gritted my teeth, the pain piercing through my body and the numbness slowly disappearing.
Over and over, he slashed my stomach and opened up the wound more and more. I grasped the chains and held myself up, taking all the pain and all the wounds he inflicted.
“Let me out,” I growled at him.
Sweat rolled down his chest, soaking through his shirt. My blood splattered all over him.
He didn’t stop. He continued and continued and continued, cutting so deeply that he cut through my muscle to my innards. When he hit my insides, I roared, yanked the chains from the ceiling, and lunged at him.
I slashed my claws across his throat and split open his artery. He stumbled back and widened his eyes.
“Y-you can move?” he whispered as blood leaked out of his body.
When he landed on the ground, I straddled his waist and hurled my fists into his face over and over again until his head was bouncing against the concrete. His hard-ass head bruised my knuckles, but I didn’t stop until his heart stilled.

“Don’t lether out of your sight,” Dad told a couple of guards when they thrust me into a cell on the opposite side of the estate where Thayer had disappeared.
Across from me, Paragon children sat, huddled together in a cell, malnourished.
“I need to find the others that they must’ve come with.”
“We came with nobody,” I said.
Dad chuckled, as if he knew I was lying, and disappeared.
Two guards stood at my cell, glaring me down like I was nothing to them. I closed my eyes and reopened them, staring at the children and tapping into the Paragon vision to Hellana outside.
“Do you see this?”I asked.
“Yes. You should try to connect with them. Those guards won’t let you out alone.”
“Connect with the children?”
“Yes,”she said.“Connect with them. Inspire them, as your father taught you. They’re impressionable, and they can easily be swayed to our side.”
After closing my eyes and dropping the vision so I could focus on the children, I inched closer to the bars and stared at the girl who that asshole had brought out the other day. While she had been ferocious outside, she looked so fragile behind these bars.
I closed my eyes, searching through the Paragon vision to find her.
“Warrior Number Thirty-Four,”I whispered.
She looked over at me and furrowed her brows.
“You don’t deserve to be here. None of you do. I want to help you escape.”
She didn’t respond.
“Escape. Freedom.”
