NOVA

He looks angry, and I have a feeling that with every second that ticks by, I am pissing him off even more with my awkward silence. Earlier I'd been too out of it to process his words. But now, I remember. He'd been so sure that Leo was dead. If that isn't more evidence that he's my brother's killer, I don't know what it is. I am officially trapped. There's no one to save me from this monster. No one but myself. If I insist that I'm Leo, he will see through my lies because he's truly Leo's killer. But if he's only bluffing, I have to be smart about it. First of all, I need to distract him.

Licking my lower lip, I meet his gaze dead on.

"What? Does it get on your nerves that you're so attracted to me? You're the one who kissed me," I hiss.

He blinks.

"You didn't pull away. It's either you've been baiting me or you wanted it too," he says.

I cock my head. "So, you're gay."

The corner of his mouth quirks upwards, his grey eyes taking on an unhinged sparkle. Then he leans

    RHYDAR "Hold on, she'll be here soon," Nova tells me, tucking the blanket tighter around my shoulders. My body is trembling hard, and every inch of my skin is on fire. It feels like I'm dying. Still, judging from the number of times I've felt like this, it's a surprise that I've survived this long.Nova is fussing over me so cutely, I want to pinch her cheeks. I barely even remember coming home. All I remember is her calling Dora.Everything else is a blur."This really isn't fair," Nova croaks, running her fingers through my hair."Don't feel bad for me, sweetheart. I probably deserve this." My voice is so weak I barely recognize it.Blaze keeps pacing inside of me, restless. He seems to be sensing a threat of some kind."How can you say that?" Nova croaks but before I can respond, there's a frantic knock on the door.Nova startles, her hand slipping from my hair as she hurries towards the door.Relief surges inside of me, but Blaze only grows wilder, thrashing like he's tryi

    NOVA My breath catches in my throat, a whimper nearly escaping my lips. Suddenly, I'm overcome by a crippling fear. Not because I'm terrified of Rhydar. But because I'm afraid of losing him.Slowly, he brings a hand to his collarbone. He must've read my thoughts.He stares at me for a moment. Then he gathers me in his arms, holding me to himself."It's okay, don't be scared," he whispers, and I swallow hard, squeezing my eyes shut.How can I not be scared?Uriel's sigil was initially two before it became three. What if the same thing happens to him?No.I can't jinx it.Rhydar will be safe. I desperately hope so.A little while later, Rhydar sits on the edge of the bed, shirtless, his shoulders hunched forward.My stomach knots at the sight of the angry welts on his back, each one still a little raw and red from the silver whip.The sight makes my chest ache, but I force my hands steady as I dab gently with a damp cloth."How was the food?" I ask softly, needing the distraction

    NOVA "Rhydar, what are you doing?" I croak, my heart threatening to explode.He sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I don't want to do this. I swear I don't. But you're frustrating me. How many times do I have to tell you that I'm really not hiding—""If you aren't, you won't threaten or gaslight me! That's exactly what you're doing now," I cry out, tears blurring my vision.He shakes his head, sliding down the door to sit on the floor with a devastated look on his face."That's not true. No, I didn't—"A tear slides down my cheek, and his face instantly contorts with pain. "Nova, please. Don't cry," his voice trembles.I clench my fists, anger burning in my chest. What the heck is wrong with him?I can't believe I was willing to let him in. I can't believe I was so stupid.Rhydar must've heard my thoughts, blood instantly drains from his face. He rises to his feet shakily, moving towards me in a way that implies that he's about to keel over.Before I can process what is ha

    NOVA I swallow past the lump in my throat, glancing down at Rhydar's fingers, which are tangled with mine. He's sitting beside me in the car, his head resting on my shoulder.It's been ten minutes since we left the academy grounds, but he still hasn't mentioned anything about the phone call.I'd heard Zeke's voice crystal clear, loud enough that my heart had plummeted into my guts from the dread flooding my veins.Is Rhydar trying to sweep it under the rug? Does he think doing that would make it disappear? Or perhaps, this is just another manipulation of his.'Breathe, little mouse. Your messy thoughts are making my head pound.'His voice slides through my mind, faint and strained, and I grimace.I keep forgetting he can hear me."I can't help it," I mumble, and he groans softly."I'm not ignoring the obvious, I promise. Can we talk about it when we get to our destination?" His voice is thick when he speaks."Are you still feeling unwell?" I whisper. He grunts."I'm trying n

    RHYDAR Pain. That's the first thing I register. There's silver in my blood. I can taste it in the back of my throat. It's bitter and metallic. Every beat of my heart drags it deeper into my veins.I should move, but Nova's hand is on my back.She lifts the back of my shirt, and the air hits my flesh. She lets out a terrified gasp."Shit..." Her voice cracks. "Those bastards."I almost laugh, but it would hurt too much. She's trembling. Nova doesn't break easy, so I know exactly what she's seeing back there. The welts, the blood still sluggishly seeping, the way the silver burns black around the edges.The mattress dips slightly as she kneels closer. Then comes the sting of disinfectant. It's hell. White-hot hell. My jaw clenches so hard I swear I'll crack a tooth. But I don't move. I don't open my eyes. If she thinks I'm asleep, I get to hear the way she cares without her walls up.The cotton gently dabs against a welt. I barely stop the hiss that threatens to slip between my te

    NOVA "I don't understand. Sacrifices?" I say, and Uriel nods."I guess it's why the tournament got postponed. They needed to prepare more..." His voice trails off, and a sick feeling washes over me."I honestly have no idea what you two are talking about right now," Theo says, and I wince. I'm not sure if I should trust him and spill. Even so, what if I'll be putting him in danger by telling him about the situation?Theo releases a sigh. "Am I that unworthy?"I shake my head quickly. "That's not it, I promise. I just...I don't want to put you in harm's way."His eyes go wide slightly. Then he lowers his gaze, fiddling with the hem of his hoodie."If that's the case. Fine, I'll accept your protection," he mutters, the corner of his lips curling slightly. Strange. He almost seems too pleased.I revert my gaze back to Uriel, grimacing when I see that he seems to be worsening."We have to do something, or it's going to kill you. Whatever this is… we must stop them."Uriel lets out a
