“You die,” Corvus said, detached, his hard stare seeming to penetrate deep into my soul.
I flinched as though slapped. A trap door opened beneath my feet, and I was plummeting, searching for anything to hold on to. To pull myself out.
“I won’t do it.”
“Then you’ll die, anyway,” Rook interjected, finally speaking up, unlike the others, there was no apology in his eyes, no ire, either. Just amusement. Fucking bastard.
“Then I’ll run.”
“Diesel won’t let you get away.”
My heart beat out a discordant rhythm in my chest, fluttering like a caged bird. I worked to catch my breath, cursing myself for the hundredth time for not being able to be thatsomeone else. A girl who could be controlled.
“Sparrow,” Corvus urged and something in his stature changed. It made the lead in my bones turn to quicksand, melt into glass. Shatter. “You don’t have a choice.”
