Then the little girl from the hidden room. Finally, he became someone none of us recognized. A young man with silver eyes. My grandfather whispered, “The first keeper.” The man looked at him. “You remember me.” My grandfather's face went pale. “I remember killing you.” The man smiled. “You killed my body.”

I wouldn't stand idly by and let a stranger talk down on a man who had done nothing but provide for me, love me, and want nothing but my happiness. “I'm sorry, pissing you off isn't on my ideal list today, and I intend to let you go. I just couldn't hold the urge to see you, speak to you... Touch you.” He whispered, reaching for me. I tensed up, avoiding his touch before he could get a hold of my arms. “Ha!” He retorted, an amused smile on his face as his eyes lingered on the mark embedded into my shoulder. “How dare he...

“Who sent you?” The man’s eyes stayed glued to the floor, refusing to meet mine. Zeviar straightened, muscles coiling like a spring, and then, without any warning, the first blow landed. It was an open-handed strike, sharp and fast, snapping the man’s head sideways against the cold, unforgiving stone wall. The crack echoed down the corridor, reverberating back like a grim announcement. The man gasped, his body jerking, then he caught himself, spitting blood onto the floor between his knees.

Only hot guys with black cards.” Kya burst out laughing, the sound echoing in the empty diner. “Deal.” ** The drive back from The Diamond Square was quiet, but Kya’s mind was anything but. The image of Maya’s pale face when the manager confirmed the black card was hers replayed over and over, a small victory that warmed her chest. For the first time in years, she had not been the humiliated one. She had been the woman with power.
