"Okay so I hate to be that guy," Caius looked up from his papers with zero enthusiasm. "We have to do a ritual."
~Lysander~I turned my head slowly, mostly just to see if I could, and that's when I saw her.Val was asleep in the chair next to my bed. Head down on her arms, the way you fall asleep when you sat down for just a second and then didn't mean to stay. Her hair had fallen across her face and she was breathing slow and even and she looked more relaxed than I'd seen her look in weeks, which honestly said everything about the current state of our lives that she was getting her best rest in a hospital chair in a room with her possibl
~Valeria~Lysander had been quiet. Which should've been my first clue.While the vines were concentrated on the other three, while the stronghold was busy making its ultimatum, Lysander had been slowly moving to the side of the platform. Watching the way they moved, the pattern of them, where they were paying attention.He looked at me once. The one that meant I know what I'm doin
~Valeria~We were literally standing right in front of it. My mom's badge. The last piece of everything. And instead of, I don't know, having a plan, the four of them had turned into this."I should grab it," Alerion spoke up.
