So much distance that I missed his heat. I frowned deeply. “Why aren’t you touching me?” I blurted, feeling anger rising at full speed. “What?” he asked. “You can touch me,” I said. His eyes widened, and then he shook his hand. “No, I can’t.” A pang hit my heart. “Why can’t you touch me?” I snapped. “I—You—” he stuttered. “Stop it.” I raised my hand. “You did the same thing before, and now you’re repeating it.

Ignoring the tiny pieces that stung into my bare feet, I moved out onto the road. ‘How could life turn out into something like this?’ I asked myself while walking in the middle of the road. ‘Why did it happen to ME?

I cannot take it anymore. I WANT TO DIE!” I halted to a stop and let my weight to carry me on my knees in the middle of nowhere. I never knew that my eyes could produce this much of tears.

His hesitantly brings his fingers to my tattoo, his touch ghosting over my skin. I scrutinize the tattooed letters on his fingers. A, M, L, R, O. They don't spell anything but here I am, telling myself that they probably stand for something. He's barely touching me but my entire body is on fire, I want his touch so bad it hurts my chest. I feel like I'm trapped in a small box and I can't breathe or move or think. Our eyes lock and I realize that we're both panting, chests heaving, fucking electrifying.

"Mommy, I had bad dream during nap time." "Tell me about it." "There was... a network. Like spider web made of feelings instead of thread. And all the feelings were connected, sharing thoughts, moving together like one big person instead of lots of little people." The description sent chills down my spine. "What did this network want?" "Me," Elara said simply. "The network wanted to add me to it. Make me part of the web but if I joined, I wouldn't be me anymore. I'd be we."

Isabella groaned, yanking her arm toward her bag. I reached for it again, crawling closer on my knees, latching onto her feet. My heart squeezed painfully in my chest, and my breaths came short. I couldn’t think of her leaving me—I couldn’t allow it. I knew I wouldn’t survive it. “Isabella, I love you. I can’t… I can’t lose you too. Please understand me,” I pleaded again, my body trembling. She yanked her feet away from my grasp, glaring down at me with pure contempt.

His fingers tighten around my neck, cutting off the air flow and my screams. " You thought you could leave me locked behind bars and move on, continue fucking other guys behind my back? That's not how things go, Kara. You are mine, whether alive or dead." Valentine growls,his grip on my neck tightening. I try to scream but my vocal cords are restricted. I try to claw his hands off my neck but he is too strong and I am weakening with each passing moment. The bag in my hand slips and falls, spilling the groceries onto the sidewalk.

It did not burn; it sank in, weaving itself into my soul, into the very scar of my bond with Kairi, into the cold void I had cultivated.
