"We need to get going," one said in a low growl as he came up beside me. "Not playing with some toy at the bath house. There's plenty of things to play with at the party."

The 4 Faces of Corruption

There was no going back in after I’d been seen leaving with Heiro and Deimos. I sucked in a shuddering breath as I felt an invisible weight settle on my chest. I couldn’t catch my breath and my vision felt as if it were going dark, the ringing in my ears nearly deafening.


I felt like I was dying as I stumbled behind a wall and half-collapsed to the ground. What was happening to me?


How could they not even give me the chance to explain?


I was only trying to protect them, my brothers. There was nothing that I wouldn’t do for them. Why wouldn’t they give me the chance to tell them? Had I really fallen so far?


Was I truly such a terrible person? After everything I thought I’d done to make sure that I was never like ‘her’. I had promised that I would never abandon my family, not like she had. I had also promised that I’d never allow myself to be abandoned again.
