Where was Will? Why were the girls the ones doing this?

I could understand Kai not wanting to leave Banks alone

with my father, but where the hell were Michael and Will?

I stepped back down and lifted Winter up, the slice in my

side burning, but I maneuvered her through the window, Rika

taking her arms and pulling her up.

I took short, shallow breaths, trying to tap down the nausea

creeping up again. I was going to need some fucking stitches.

GGoddammit. I didn’t have time for this.

Hopping up on the toilet again, I planted my foot on the

wall for leverage and shot up, digging my elbows into the

windowsill and pulling myself forward on my arms while I

slipped up and out.

“You okay?” Rika asked.

“Just go.”

I breathed hard, hearing her whisper instructions to Winter

before they both found the ridge and began crawling it over to

the attic window.

My leg was wet from the blood, but the night air chilled

my skin, cooling me off and waking me up.

They would have to have a car nearby. Just five more

minutes. I’d get to rest.

Following them over the roof and keeping low, I climbed

through the circular attic window, falling in and crashing onto

the floor.

Winter rushed over to me, touching my face.

The room was dark, but moonlight shone through, and I

looked up, seeing not only Rika, but Alex standing there, too,

all three women staring down at me.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” I whined, holding my side

and trying to get my feet under me.
