Unbroken Chapter 20 Summary Novels & Stories

Just when I thought I was done sobbing, I turned around with my trembling feet and tried to move but.. I couldn't. My legs went numb almost immediately and I fell on the hard marble floor with a thud. When I felt my skin in contact with a liquid as soon as my legs touched the ground, I realised that I was surrounded by a pool of crimson red blood— My mother and Emily's blood. My eyes stung and tears started welling up again in my eyes when I took a proper look at them.

The pain is indescribable. But I don't stop. Hours pass. Maybe days. I pull and pull and pull. And then I hear it. A crack. Small. Almost imperceptible. But there. The chain on my right wrist is weakening. Hope surges through me. I pull harder. Ignoring the pain. Ignoring the burning. Ignoring everything except the need to break free. Another crack. Louder this time. The chain is breaking. Just a little more. Just a little longer.

She didn’t answer, but the bond surged violently, as if she were screaming inside my chest. I dropped beside her, my knees hitting stone. The sight of her injuries shattered something in me I didn’t know could still break. Her once pale skin, now beneath the soot, lips cracked, breaths shallow and uneven. Blood stained the ground beneath her, dark and frighteningly still. I turned to the beam. It was massive. Reinforced. Twisted from the explosion and wedged deep into the rubble above. Impossible. I wrapped my hands around the jagged metal anyway.

"I was in Mordaunt's cell. He tortured me. Showed me my mother's death. Promised me the same execution stake. Wanted me broken." "Are you broken?" Marie asks. "Yes. Completely." I don't lie. "But broken doesn't mean defeated. I'm standing here. Armed. Ready to kill the people who tried to destroy me. That's not defeat." The women nod. Understanding. We're all broken. All damaged. All carrying trauma that will never fully heal. But we're standing anyway. Callum appears beside me. He's armed for war. Silver everywhere. Determination and fear mixing on his face.

Still golden underneath the years of suffering. "You're not broken." I told them. "You're just wounded. And wounds can heal." One of them, a young woman named Mira, looked at me with tears in her eyes. "How do you know?" She whispered. I thought of Rafe, fighting his way through a crowd of puppeted guards to reach me. I thought of my mother, stepping between me and the vortex. I thought of Morwen, blind and dying, who had seen something worth saving in a terrified boy who didn't know what he was.

Luna runs forward, disregarding her lack of clothing, and continues to pound on the door while attempting to open the locked handle. Her attention is then drawn to the broken glass and scattered food, now miraculously cleaned up. Luna thinks that a servant must have been assigned to clean her room earlier. She falls silent, realizing that she's utterly naked, prompting her to dash back to the bathroom. Doesn't this mean that someone has been observing her from a distance, knowing everything she's been doing during her twenty-four hours of confinement in the room? Luna ponders.

They never made it to shelter. “Mira,” I said softly, “the girl you carried from the village. She had a brother, didn’t she?” Tears welled in her eyes. “I told him to stay hidden. He did and I never went back.” Rowan swallowed hard. “The boy in the Hollow who ran back into the burning house. I let him. I was too scared.” We each had one. I turned back to the Sanctum. “If we must choose one… let it be the fracture that didn’t shape us. The one we forgot. Let the world stay broken if it must but let one soul walk free.”

I squealed as I watched blood seep out of my finger. I placed my thumb in my mouth and sucked away all the blood on my finger, and then tried to loosen the lock once again. Another tear streamed down my face as I placed my throbbing thumb into the lock once again. After applying enough pressure the lock opened up enough for me to slide my wrist through. I got up and ran toward the door only to be faced with a long dark and isolated hallway. I closed my eyes and try to think about what was on the other end of the hallway as I slowly walked through.

“I prayed and asked for an angel. And my prayers were answered.” “What? Are you saying a miracle happened?” Julia asked. “Yes, I was so sick that when I went to get water, I fell down a flight of steps.” “Oh Lord! I knew I should have never left there alone.” Uncle Yazzy exclaims. “I was badly bruised, and I could not quench my thirst. I must have crawled to the kitchen for water and I collasped in front of the refrigerator door.” “Stop, this sounds awful.” Her auntie said.
