She looked miserable, lying on the floor, bound to the wall by chains. What I was wondering, though, was where all the stuff came from? The hooks in the wall that held the chains—the chains themselves. Had Marco and Sophia owned this stuff or had someone went out and bought them?

Her head was resting on a pillow, her brown hair a tangled mess. Her eyes were shut and she was breathing softly.

I shut the door behind me and her eyes shot open.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up,” I said apologetically.

She sat up and I went over and sat cross-legged on the floor in front of her. We both stared at one another, not knowing where to start.

“I’m sorry, Gemma,” she finally said with a guilty look on her face.

I traced a star pattern in the carpet with my finger. “It’s okay. I understand you couldn’t say anything about the mark to me.” I paused. “But there’s one thing I don’t understand. How is it you’re marked, yet you went to The Underworld to protect me? And how was it you could tell us all those things that day—about the ending of the world? Shouldn’t the mark have stopped you?”

She shook her head. “There are always loopholes, Gemma.”

“You keep saying that, but it doesn’t make sense to me at all.”

“I know. Some things are hard to understand and even harder to explain.” She rested her head back against the wall. “Sometimes my mind gets all cloudy as if it doesn’t belong to me, and I say words that aren’t my own.” She traced the cut of the Blood Promise on the palm of her hand. “It’s not cloudy right now, but it won’t last forever.”

“The Blood Promise won’t?” I asked.

She shook her head sadly. “I won’t.”

She was freaking me out. “What do you mean? You’re not leaving me again, are you?”

She didn’t answer right away, and when she did speak, she dodged around my question. “Remember how you told me that you saw the vision of Stephan forcing me into the lake.”

I nodded. “How could I forget?”

She smiled, but it was forced. “Well, you didn’t understand the vision completely—there were things that happened that confused you.”

“Like what?” I asked.

She let out a sigh. “Stephan didn’t force me into the lake, like he—and you—thought. I went in there on my own….I chose to go to The Underworld on my own.”

I was shaking my head. “No, you didn’t…I saw him force you to go in there.”

She reached for my hand, the chains dragging across the floor. “No, you didn’t. That’s what it may have looked like, but that’s not what happened.” I was still shaking my head as she continued on, “I’ve always had this gift....kind of like super willpower, and for the longest time, even after Stephan marked me, it stayed with me—made me strong.”

“How did he mark you?” I asked. “How did he mark everyone? Didn’t anyone fight back?”

“That’s hard to do when there are Death Walker’s there,” she explained, her blue eyes drifting off into empty space.
