In the list of bad situations I could find myself in with Reba, this was probably the worst. Maybe the only thing better would be instant death. It took every single ounce of my willpower not to slice of Gaul’s head. In fact, if I was alone, I might have done it. I wasn’t a part of the Red Hands, so I couldn’t rightfully challenge him as drexel. The consequences of killing him would have been death at the hands of the rest of his clavas. Sacrificing myself to rid this planet of Gaul would have been worth it. But I couldn’t leave Reba alone with these monsters.

I hated what the virus and the Uprising had done to so many of our once proud, honorable males. I remembered Gaul back when we’d worked for the Uldani. He’d been a skilled bodyguard for some of their Elite, but as time went on, he changed. His beliefs shifted. During the Uprising, he’d disagreed with most of the orders Daz—one of the main commanders of the war—had given. Gaul had gone behind his back to execute a mission, resulting in dozens of Drixonians deaths. Daz stripped Gaul of his leadership role, and Gaul never forgave him.

As soon as I spotted the Red Hands tag, I had to think fast. Gaul would think nothing of killing me and swiping Reba to use for the benefit of his clavas. I had to buy myself time, and I had to stay alive. Pretending to betray Daz and care nothing for Reba was the only recourse I could think of on short notice. If I had more time, I maybe could have come up with a better plan.

I held Reba in my arms as we trudged behind the slowly moving bikes on the way back to the Red Hands camp. She hadn’t spoken, and her eyes were closed. The left side of her face was swelling, and the sight made my blood run hot. I’d felt the blow as if Gaul had struck me himself, a crushing fist to the cheek. I had to check to make sure I wasn’t bleeding, that was how real it felt. Seeing Reba’s blood nearly had me coming out of my skin. It incensed me in a way I never felt before, even back when my sister died, and our civilization crumbled. The crimson of Reba’s blood streaking down her cheek called to me. Ordered me to kill, hurt, and crush.

But I’d held back, for both of our sakes. I wouldn’t let Gaul touch her again though. Not a fucking finger. I wished now I could explain, to tell her again to trust me, that everything I spoke to Gaul was a lie and speaking the words felt like flaying my own flesh. But I couldn’t. I was surrounded by listening ears. Gaul would jump at any mistake I made. He didn’t fully trust me yet. There would be tests, and my only hope was to buy us enough time to escape before this made-up handoff with the Uldani.
