INTO THE DARKNESS
~TATE POV~
"How can I be with you if you hate what I am?" The words scraped my throat raw.
My chest felt hollow. Empty. Like something had carved out my insides and left me bleeding.
"We know. We're trying to change. Give us a chance to prove ourselves." Mathias stared at me like I held his life in my hands.
The door slammed open. Lyra stormed in, her eyes wild with panic barely contained.
"You idiots are alive. What were you thinking, Myra? Taking Tate to that party? She could have been torn apart," Lyra spat. Her voice cracked on the last words.
"I know. I'm sorry." Myra shrank into herself. Her confidence bled away, leaving behind a frightened girl.
"Sorry doesn't fix anything. You almost got her killed." Mathias stepped forward. His voice cut like glass.
