Chapter twenty-six

The Sinner

Dinah

We spent hours, roaming the unkept fields behind Zeke’s grandfather’s abandoned country house to no avail, until the day was long gone, and we were at risk of another attack in the dark. We found very few signs that Noah had made his escape, and only a set of tire tracks deep in the surrounding forest confirmed our suspicions.

That slimy, sinister fucker, Noah, is still out there, running free, but now he’s scared of when I’ll get my hands on him, and I swear, if it’s the last thing I do, I will stare into his monstrous eyes as his life leaves them for good. The house was set ablaze with Esther’s body inside of it. As we walked away from the flames, grief, and sorrow filled me, for everything that Zeke was experiencing. I never wanted to hurt him, or see him hurt, and he is now. I could tell, from the way he was holding himself, that he was trying to shut the door on his emotions. Being the strong Ezekiel Rothesay he believes he needs to be for us. Abe and I each took one of his hands and kissed him, regardless of the rebel audience watching, letting him know with our actions that we were there for him, and loved him.

Now we have returned to the Holy Father’s compound, our temporary home filled with its own set of perils, and are looking for answers that no one seems to be able to give us. “Where is my nephew, Sarah? I was assured that he and his mother were safe, and would be brought here. Now you’re telling me you never knew where they were?” I glare at her stress-lined face. We have been going back and forth for the last hour on all the things that she’s promised me, and hasn’t delivered. Noah got away again, my infant nephew and his mother have once again gone missing, and Sammy, well fuck, I don’t even know where to begin with him. He’s been demanding to see me for hours, and trepidation is soaring through me that he’s going to tell me that he wishes I was dead once again. I can’t live with hearing those heartbreaking words. I can’t look into the face of the person who has been my everything for years, only to see that I am now his nothing. “It’s not that simple, Dinah. There are many moving parts to this revolution. One person’s value does not outweigh everyone else’s. Please try to be reasonable, child.”

She did not just fucking say that. Furious rage boils over inside of me, and I do something I never thought I would. I grab onto Sarah, wrapping my arm around her neck, yanking her body against my chest, and hold a blade at her throat. “It’s interesting that you say that, Sarah. Is your life the exception? Is mine?“ I push the tip of the blade into her skin, until a vibrant drop of blood wells on the surface, and she inhales a raspy breath.
