‘Kill Hugh Toussaint. The Father’s orders.’ Gaultier’s strained voice comes. I glance at Hugh, who has just freed himself from his cuffs as he staggers to his feet. His eyes are on the gun in the corner. Grab it… ‘Get the gun!’ Gaultier snarls. I turn sharply when Zaia bites into my neck, I shake
ZAIA. I shot him. Fear is consuming me from the inside as we rush out. We have Dad now, and I can see Atticus running over to him. He’s covered in blood, but he’s fine. I jerk my head and he nods, knowing what I mean. Get Dad out. I glance around the tunnel before I run ahead, ready to lead the

RED: Yeah, can’t sleep. Why are you awake? ATTICUS: I’d say thinking about you but not exactly. Mind if I come over? There’s something I wanted to talk to you about. There’s a pause. RED: Sure. Getting up, I don’t bother grabbing a shirt and leaving my room, I shut the door quietly behind me bef
ZAIA. A week has passed, and I feel… empty. The moment Atticus mentioned it, there were so many emotions that I was left to deal with. Anger, betrayal, regret, pain, guilt and sadness. My emotions became an ocean I was drowning in, struggling to stay afloat… but I let go, allowing the emotions t
