Blood and Mercy Don’t Make me Regret it
Cassie “I can’t explain it.” He pauses and his hands grip the arms of his chair a little tighter. “But I’m choosing to trust you, Cassie. Don’t make me regret it.” He wheels past me and disappears into his bedroom, the door closing behind him with a soft click that echoes in the sudden quiet. I stand there in the training room doorway and can’t make my body move. Can’t make my feet carry me out into the hallway or back to my room or anywhere at all. His words loop through my head on repeat. ‘I’m choosing to trust you. Don’t make me regret it.’ He’s choosing me. After five years of shutting everyone out, after refusing to let anyone get close, after building walls so high nobody could possibly climb them, he’s extending trust to me specifically. And I’m standing here carrying the one secret that would destroy that trust the second he found out about it. I don’t real
Blood and Mercy Another Session
CassieThree days have passed since I stood outside Kai’s studio and lied to his face, and the quiet since then hasn’t been the good kind where things settle and you can finally breathe properly.This is the kind of quiet where you’re waiting for something to break, where every sound makes you jump and you can’t shake the feeling that someone’s watching you even when you’re completely alone in a room.Kai hasn’t said anything, hasn’t asked more questions about Mara or the sidewalk. During meals he’s silent, during our sessions he follows instructions without comment, and in those brief moments when we pass each other in the hallway he doesn’t look at me any differently than he did before.But I can feel his eyes on me anyway.Feel them when I’m setting down his breakfast tray, when I’m opening curtains he’ll close the second I leave the room, when I’m doing literally anything in his presence. Like he’s noticing every move I make, every word I say, storing it all away to examine when
Blood and Mercy The lie she tells
CassieThe words die in my throat, but she didn’t push.“You’re stronger than you think, Cassie. I see it even if you don’t. Whatever you’re facing, you’ll find a way through it.”The door closes softly behind her and I’m left sitting in my chair staring at the space where she was, her words echoing in the sudden quiet.I should sleep.I know I should sleep.But every time I close my eyes I see Mara’s face, hear her voice demanding to know if Kai knows what Miles did, and sleep feels impossible.*****It’s past two in the morning when I finally make myself leave my room.The hallway is still dark except for the small lights along the baseboards, just enough to see by without illuminating much of anything. I’m heading toward Kai’s bedroom when I hear movement from his studio, the faint sound of wheels on hardwood. He’s still awake. My footsteps slow and then redirect, carrying me to his studio door instead.I stop outside his studio door and stand there with my hand raised to knock,
Blood and Mercy The Conversation
CassieI’m pacing my room and the floor feels too small, the walls pressing in from all sides, my brain spinning so fast I can’t make it slow down long enough to land on a single coherent thought.Mara’s face won’t leave me alone. The way she looked at me on that sidewalk, the fury burning in her eyes when she saw the Petrova name on that car, the way her voice shook when she said does he know what Miles did to his sister.And Kai’s window.It was cracked open, just slightly but could sound carry forty feet through city noise or was he too far away, was he distracted, was he even paying attention to two people arguing on a sidewalk?I walk from the bed to the window and back again, my feet wearing a path in the carpet. What did he hear? The question circles through my head on an endless loop and I can’t make it stop, can’t find an answer no matter how many times I replay every second of that scene.He didn’t say anything on the drive back. Didn’t ask a single question. Just sat in th
Blood and Mercy Why can’t I let this go..??
KaiWhen we get back to the mansion John comes around to help me out of the car. Cassie moves like she’s going to help too but I stop her before she can get close.“I’ve got it.”She steps back immediately, her hands dropping to her sides like I slapped them away.“Thank you,” she says quietly, first to John and then to me. “For coming with me today. You didn’t have to do that.”I don’t respond, just transfer into my chair and head for the entrance. Behind me I hear her footsteps follow for a few seconds before they veer off toward the staff wing where her room is, and then I’m alone heading for the lift that’ll take me up to my floor.My wing is quiet when I get there, the hallway empty and still in that way it always is. I wheel myself to my bedroom and once I’m inside with the door closed I pull out my phone and stare at it.I didn’t hear the full conversation on that sidewalk. Just those fragments. “For the Petrovas” and “Does he know what—” and then something that got swallowed
Blood and Mercy Questions
KaiI’m in the front seat staring at the apartment building and thinking this is the first time I’ve been outside in five years, the first time I’ve left the mansion grounds for anything, and it wasn’t even for myself.It was for a girl I don’t know who got suspended for fighting.It was for Cassie.The realization doesn’t sit well but I don’t have time to examine it because Cassie and her sister are standing on the sidewalk about forty feet from the car and whatever’s happening between them looks like it’s about to combust. I sit here and watch through the window as Cassie tries to calm down a girl who looks like she’s about ready to explode.Mara—Cassie talked about her that night in my studio doorway, talked about her sharp edges and her anger—is standing there with her whole body pulled tight like a wire about to snap. Her arms are gesticulating and even from this distance I can see the fury radiating off her in waves.She reminds me of Lily. Not her face or anything physical, j
Blood and Mercy Monday, Four Days From Now
CassieKatrina goes still. Like she wasn’t expecting me to say yes so fast.Then she reaches into her bag. Pulls out a pen and slides it across the table.It’s heavy when I pick it up. The kind of pen that feels important just holding it.I flip to the last page.There’s a line at the bottom with t
Blood and Mercy The Contract
CassieI’ve never been to a café like this before.White marble tables. Gold accents on everything. The kind of place where the lighting is soft enough to make everyone look expensive. There’s a glass case near the counter filled with pastries that probably cost more than my grocery budget for a we
Blood and Mercy They won’t Know
CassieI don’t know how long I sit there. Could be twenty minutes. Could be an hour. Time feels strange right now, like it’s moving too fast and too slow at the same time.Eventually I get up. My legs are stiff and my back aches from sitting on the hard floor, but I make it to the break room and po
Blood and Mercy The Test Result
CassieThe break room smells like burnt coffee and something else I can’t quite place. Maybe it’s the trash nobody’s taken out in three days, or maybe it’s just the weight of too many double shifts soaking into the walls. I don’t know anymore.It’s three in the morning. The fluorescent lights overh
