A FEW HOURS LATER, Calix and Sarayu were sitting in chairs in what appeared to be a waiting room. They were both dressed in black tunics. Calix couldn’t remember how he had gotten here, but Sarayu had been wakened in the middle of the night and brought here. She was terrified.

“Calix, what’s going on?” Sarayu said.

“I don’t know,” Calix lied. He had seen what his father had intended for them. That sick bastard was going to make him and Sarayu, two teenagers, endure the torture the children were experiencing.

“Just drink the water. When they ask you to drink the water, drink the water. It will make you forget.”

Just then, a Protector nodded for them to follow him down a long hall. Calix clasped Sarayu’s hand, trying to protect her, but really trying to calm himself down. When he left this place and returned to the Caesar, he was going to find a way to disappear. He was done taking orders from his father. He was done being his puppet.

The pair reached the end of the hall and were led into the cavernous room filled with butterflies. Claudia Durant appeared and handed Sarayu a cup of water.

Calix whispered, “Drink it. In one gulp.”

He watched her terrified tiger-like eyes as she lifted her shaking hands up to her mouth and drank the drugged concoction. Her eyes quickly glassed over as if she were in a trance.

“Where’s my drink?” Calix demanded.

“Your father thought you would benefit more if you were fully conscious,” Claudia Durant said cruelly.

Calix felt a rope being tied around him and Sarayu, binding them together. He barely managed to turn his head to look at the two-way mirror, imagining his father’s glee on the other side of the wall.

Just before he was hoisted into the air, Calix looked at his father and mouthed five words, “I’m going to kill you.”
