Chapter 35: Juliet

For the first time since Myreen left, Juliet finally slept through the night.

It was as if the moment she connected her fire with her ice, something clicked, like a final puzzle piece pressing into place. The balance she felt was a wonderful change.

Still, the lingering guilt over everything stopped her from truly embracing this new feeling.

How could she be happy when the Dome was falling to pieces? How could she walk around with a smile on her face when Myreen was gone? When Kol was imprisoned? When she hadn’t heard from Kenzie for what felt like ages? Each time contentment tried to settle, her stomach would twist as her reality came back into focus.

She needed a distraction.

She decided to attend her classes today—all of them. Even though no fun ones remained. She desperately missed music and art.

But what she looked forward to most was her one-on-one time with her dad. It was the only time that she could really explore her new gifts.

Malachai lied to Dracul when he requested that their sessions be restored. They were supposed to be working on defense and tactics, only. But not once since they started up again had they trained for that. Juliet always broke a sweat, but not from physical exertion.

Juliet kept her head down as she made her way to her dad’s office. Even with her headphones on, she could still hear the soldier’s yells. They tried so hard to make the students synchronized, and they didn't care how they sounded doing it. She made sure to be in sync with everyone else so she didn’t draw any unwanted attention. It was easy for her to fall into step with the other students, because it was like a dance. Especially with her music blaring through her headphones.

“Remove the device. I don't want to see it out in these halls again.” The nasty guard—the one who seemed intent on getting her in trouble—looked down at her as he pulled her from the group.

“You mean my headphones?” She snickered, but knew as soon as she did that she would regret it.

“Excuse me?” He initiated an intense stare-off—one she wouldn’t be trying to win.

Juliet cleared her throat as she stuffed her headphones in her bag. “I apologize. It won’t happen again.” She saluted him with precise movement. On the outside it looked like she was calm and collected, but on the inside, she was a mess. She wanted nothing more than to show him just how good she was at defense. The thought of a few bruises on his face brought calmness to her mind.

If only I could act on it.

The soldier gave her a wary look, but returned the salute. She turned away and finished walking to her dad’s. The soldier followed her, though. She could hear the clacking of his heavy boots hitting the floor behind her. It was as if he wanted her to know he was there—that really worried her.

When she finally made it to her dad’s door, she entered as quickly as she could, not daring to look back.
