River POV
We were waiting impatiently for Alice to come inside the room. Five minutes had been gone and there was no word from her yet. Yes, only five minutes, and it looked like Ryder and I were about to go to war.
“So, what now?” Ryder was leaning against a wall. “We couldn’t be that harsh to her. Kira was right, too.”
“We can’t hurt her physically. All we can do is beat her at her own game.”
And just when I said the last word, the door opened. In came Clayton, followed by Alice, and then Drake. The two boys nodded and left as soon as they came in.
“Uh, you wanted to talk to me?” Alice’s eyes looked afraid.
Yes, I like that. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
“How’s your sleep, Alice?” I asked her in an icy tone. I wished it would have frozen her. Just only seeing her makes my blood boil.
