"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
-Albert Camus
POV: Stella
I stare at the amulet that is now around my neck. The amulet is made of an amethyst crystal with gold metal wrapped around it. It's beautiful. Ryder was able to get it out of the puzzle box yesterday. A lot happened yesterday.
I was so upset about Grandpa Evan. I was angry. Everyone I care about keeps being taken away from me. People I thought I could trust, I can't. Secrets have been kept from me my whole life. I've had enough. It's time I fight back. I'm done being walked all over.
I went to see Giana after Ryder got off the phone with Uncle Zander. I needed to talk to someone. Our talk really helped me. I was so upset but mostly angry. I didn't understand the anger
