Chapter 25

Day 58 of 90

I hadn’t spoken to Oliver for two days. We had come so far together, but now I couldn’t look at him. He refused to tell me anything about Unit and I did the mature thing; I pouted in my room.

My imagination was running wild with what could be happening in Unit. Was everyone okay? Was there a war going on? What if there was a riot? It could be anything.

I tossed and turned in the bed. I couldn’t sleep when Oliver was away, and I couldn’t when he was here if we were at odds with each other. I finally found a comfortable spot, and my heavy eyes fell.

“Amaya,” Oliver whispered “Come on.”

“What?” I snapped at him.

“We have to go to Unit. Right now.”

My eyes popped open. “We’re going to Unit.”

“Yes. Hurry.”

I sprang out of bed. “I’ll be ready in one minute.” I quickly ran into the bathroom and changed into jeans, a sweatshirt, and slipped on tennis shoes.

Oliver and I ran like the wind to the Escalade. He drove like race car driver toward Unit. I was biting my nails because my nerves were on edge.

We made it to the gate of Unit, and Oliver punched in his code and the gates opened. I didn’t realize I was holding my breath. I released as he drove into Unit.

I was home.

“Why are we here, Oliver?”

“Xaviera, Gia, and Rebecca all died last night.”

My heart stopped and my stomach dropped. “How?” the tears fell, and I was sobbing.

“It was because of you and all your Rule breaking. Mother Nature created a huge thunderstorm, and they died.”

“No.” I couldn’t believe it. Mother Nature wasn’t that cruel. I knew it in my soul.

“The King isn’t going banish you. He’s going to give you the ultimate punishment.”

My stopped heart was now racing. “What is that?”

“Death. The King has sentenced you to death.”

I started to scream, and I tried to get out of the vehicle, but I couldn’t release my seatbelt.

“Oliver, help me.”

“No, you deserve death, Amaya. You’re such a worthless person. A worthless Matched. A worthless Protector. Death is the only way out of your worthlessness.”

“No. Oliver. No.” I was crying harder, tugging at my belt.

“You. Are. Worthless,” Oliver growled, his green eyes cold.

“No!”
