The office door slammed behind him.

Celeste stood frozen by the open safe, the “Project Callisto” file still in her hands. Damien's cold voice echoed in her head: "You said no more lies."

She wanted to scream. To chase after him. To explain.

But what would she say?

That she was scared? That she didn’t know who to trust anymore?

She pressed her hand in opposition to her chest. Her coronary heart thudded painfully.

Celeste shoved the report again into the safe and closed it, her arms shaking. She

    "Is that honestly from him?"Celeste stared at the notice. The handwriting was shaky but she'd seen it before—in old photographs Damien kept filled in his drawer.Damien picked up the ring. His hand was shaking. "This changed into his. Dad gave it to him when he turned eighteen.""But he is lifeless," Elise stated quietly. "You said he died three years ago.""I watched him die." Damien's voice broke. "I held him even as he bled out."Celeste read the note once more. *protect what we died to give you.*"What does that mean?" she requested."I do not know." Damien turned the hoop over. Something was engraved inside. Sparkling engraving. He squinted at it. "It's today's date.""Someone is messing with us," Elise stated."Or someone wants us to suppose they are." Celeste set the note down. "Either way, we need to figure out who dispatched this."Damien became quiet for a long time. Then he stood up. I walked to the window. "What if he is alive?""Then we found him," Celeste said."And if

    "Get down!"Damien's shout slightly registered earlier than any other explosion tore thru the compound. Celeste lunged for Elise, yanking her in the back of a crumbling stone pillar. Smoke choked the air. fire climbed the partitions like something alive."We gotta pass," Celeste yelled over the roar.Elise's face had long past ghost-white. Blood ran down from her temple where someone had clocked her earlier. "My leg—I can't—""Yeah you can." Celeste grabbed her sister's shoulders. "you are harder than this."Damien squeezed off three rounds down the hallway. Two guys in black robes crumpled. He whipped back around, jaw clenched. "East corridor. It's our shot."They bolted.Everything was coming down. Beams splitting and crashing. Glass bursting everywhere. Celeste's chest burned from the smoke however she didn't permit up. She had Elise's hand locked in hers, half -dragging her ahead.A shape lurched out of the smoke ahead. Celeste went for her gun but Damien beat her to it. The guy d

    "Shoot him and I will come up with what you want."Celeste's voice cut through the night time. Bloodless. clear.Kyle's smile dwindled. "What?""You heard me. Shoot Marcus. Then I'll bring you Elise myself.""Celeste, no!" Damien's voice came from somewhere in the darkness.She ignored him. Kept her eyes locked on Kyle."You're bluffing," Kyle said."Am I? You want Elise. I'll get her for you. But first, prove you're serious. Shoot him."Kyle studied her face. Looking for the lie.Marcus lifted his head. Blood dripped from his mouth. "Don't do this.""Shut up," Celeste said. Still watching Kyle.Lucian stepped forward. "She's playing you. It's a trap.""Maybe. Maybe not." Kyle raised his gun. Aimed it at Marcus.Time slowed down.Celeste watched his finger move toward the trigger.I watched Marcus close his eyes.I watched Lucian turn away.The shot rang out.But Marcus didn't fall.Kyle did.Blood bloomed across his chest. He looked down. Confused. Then his knees buckled.In the back

    "We're not doing it Elena's way."Celeste's voice cut through the car. They were driving toward the mountains. Toward the Covenant Chamber. Toward what could be the end of everything."Then what's your plan?" Damien asked."We save Elise. Kill my father. Walk out alive."Elena laughed from the back. "You make it sound simple.""It won't be simple. But killing ourselves isn't the answer.""Sometimes it's the only one."Celeste turned around. Looked Elena straight in the eye. "My mom didn't die so I could throw everything away. Neither did yours."Elena shut up."We found something else," Celeste said. "There's always something else."Damien's phone rang. Speaker."Yeah?"A guy's voice came through. Rough. Tired. "Marcus. Got what you wanted.""Talk.""The Ashen Circle's got maybe forty people. Fifty tops. Most are ex-military. Know what they're doing.""Where?""Spread out. But the main group's at the Covenant Chamber right now. Getting ready.""How many there?""Fifteen. Plus your guy

    "She's lying."Damien's voice came through the phone before Celeste could say anything. She was still in that basement. Still trying to make sense of what Elena told her."How do you know?" Celeste asked."Because Elena's dead. I saw the body myself.""You saw a body. Doesn't mean it was hers."Quiet on his end."Where are you?" Damien finally said."Some old church. I don't know where. They just drove me here after—""After I left you behind." His voice sounded rough. Mad at himself. "I should've stayed.""You did what I needed you to do. Is Elise okay?""For now. We're in an old warehouse by the docks.""You need to get out of there. Go as far as you can.""Not without you.""Damien—""I'm coming. Elena or whoever she is doesn't matter. Just stay breathing till I get there."He hung up.Celeste stared at the phone. Her hands wouldn't stop shaking.Elena showed up at the top of the stairs. "You done?""He doesn't believe you.""Good. He shouldn't." Elena came down slowly. "But believ

    "We have thirty seconds before I start shooting."Lucian's voice came through the phone. Cold. Like he was ordering lunch instead of threatening to kill them.Damien checked his gun. "Back door?""Blocked," Elise said from the kitchen window. "Two guys there."Celeste's brain was racing. They were stuck. Outnumbered. And the person who knew all Damien's tricks was the one outside."Twenty seconds," Lucian said."We need something," Damien said under his breath."I've got it." Celeste grabbed Elise's arm. "Do you trust me?""I literally just met you.""Fair. Do it anyway."Elise stared at her. Then nodded once. "Okay. What's the plan?""Just follow me." Celeste turned to Damien. "When I open that door, you run. Get Elise out the back. I'll keep them busy.""Hell no.""It's the only way.""I'm not leaving you here.""You have to." Celeste put her hand on his face. "Lucian wants Elise. If she's gone, he follows you. That buys me time.""Time to die, you mean.""Ten seconds," Lucian said

    Celeste’s head throbbed while she awoke.The room became darkish. Bloodless. Her palms were tied at her back. Metal chair. Concrete ground. It smelled like rust and worry.“You’re wide awake.”That voice. She knew it.Marcus.Her eyes blinked until the dim light took shape. He sat across from her,

You’ll be dead before you hit the ground.”“Maybe. But so will you.”The standoff was held. No one move
