Katie left the training hall first, not really feeling like talking with the team. She almost felt distant from them, never really having bonded that well.

She figured she would leave them to their man-talk and go upstairs for some relaxation and a hot bubble bath to soothe her aching muscles. When she got to her room, though, excitement hit her.

All the boxes from Amazon had arrived, so it was like Christmas in February for her.

She opened the boxes one by one, carefully taking out the framed pictures, the candles, and several articles of clothing, including new bras since the old ones didn’t seem to fit anymore. She wanted to spend the time making the place a little more feminine and a little homier.

When she was done she stood back and looked around the room, pleased with her efforts.

All right, I’ll bite, Pandora said. What is all of this?

Things I like, Katie replied. Things I never had a chance to buy in my old life. I never pampered myself, or made a home where I lived. I just worried about grades, money, and volleyball. I regret that now—I won’t lie. I regret not letting loose a little bit and just having a good time. I regret not taking care of my mind, body, and spirit. So, now that I have the time and the means, I am trying to make this space more for me and less for the glory of the team. If that makes sense.

It does, Pandora said. As a demon I obviously have a different take on what’s comforting and relaxing, but I won’t deny that it’s important. Be your whole self, Katherine, all the time. You never know when you won’t ever get another chance.

Katie shook her head and looked at the giant picture of the Las Vegas lights. It made her feel like she was part of something, and that something seemed to be coming easier and easier to her as the days passed.

She knew she had a connection with Pandora that was different than the others had with their demons, but she wasn’t dumb.

She had to be careful.

Pandora might be helping her stay alive and in one piece at the moment, but she was still a demon and they couldn’t distinguish between right and wrong. They were hell on earth, and Pandora was stronger than the rest—or so she had told her.

Katie tossed the thoughts from her mind and jumped into an Epsom-salt bath. She leaned her head against the tub, feeling the swelling and stiffness of her muscles begin to fade.

It was almost a good burn, knowing she’d put everything she had into sparring with the others. She may have not been a winner—or even gotten in a good rap of the knuckles—but Katie knew that when the time called for it, she would be able to unleash those powers hidden deep inside of her with the help of Pandora.

And if Pandora betrayed her?

Katie would simply end them both.
