16
That night, I can’t sleep. I feel like I’m being torn in half with conflicting advice.
Themis and Metis want me to get the sword and use it to threaten Mr. Zee.
Mavis wants me to kill him.
And Val just thinks I should leave this place and never look back. I wonder if he wants me to leave him too...or if he’d offer to come along with me.
Not that it matters. I’m not going anywhere.
Not without Mavis at my side.
But I don’t want her in a body bag.
And I don’t want blood on my hands.
Which leaves me...where?
“Stop sighing,” Tina snaps at me on her way to the bathroom in the morning. Even though she doesn’t use the toilet, Tina spends at least an hour in the bathroom. I think it’s time spent primping, applying sunscreen, and just standing around in order to make me wait longer.
