He spent our entire youth helping me reduce my fear of thunder, but now, every bit of that fear had returned in waves. This time, the fear was even worse, because I knew my heart had become too fragile to take it. However, while fear made people timid, I wanted to be braver and stronger.

"You belong to me now." Selena’s body locks in place, her limbs frozen as if ensnared by invisible tendrils. Her heart pounds in her chest, a rapid staccato that reverberates in her ears, drowning out the sounds of the city around her. Her eyes widen as she feels the darkness creeping toward her, seeping into her skin like the roots of some malevolent plant, winding through her veins, threatening to consume her from within.

Sienna clutches her heels tightly against her chest, her breathing shallow as she peers into the darkness of her office. Every instinct tells her to back away, to call for help, but a surge of stubbornness forces her feet to move forward.

The kind of scared that sits in the back of your chest and does not go away and you stop mentioning it because saying it out loud does not help and you need your hands free to keep showing up."

Cierra's POV Fear has a way of creeping in slowly before it finally takes over everything. At first, it sits quietly in your chest, pretending it is nothing. Then, without warning, it grows heavy, thick, and impossible to ignore. I felt it the moment I realized how silent the room had become. Roger was still beside me, close enough for me to feel his warmth, close enough for the memory of what we had just done to still hang in the air.
