THIRTEEN

FREY

I understand terror and agony. After all, I’ve become well acquainted with both emotions these past few days. But rage? Hatred…

I am blinded by those new sensations, and I cannot think rationally. I just see red. The sound of the blood ramming against my eardrums, is all I can hear. The constant thrumming echoes in my head like a chant. Fight. Fight. Kill. Kill.

My rage is followed by numbness that paralyzes me before I can even comprehend it. I’m numb. Frozen. Throughout the wedding ceremony, I submit meekly over a blood-stained altar like a doll. I can hear the smothered cries and fearful pleas of the two surviving girls somewhere behind me.

And I can gaze into the empty, staring eyes of the girl before me, seeing nothing. Like a morbid soundtrack to this nightmare, my father’s voice drones on and on.

“…By the rights vested in me, I declare you both bound in holy matrimony, a union that has been purified and blessed. May you both live long enough to enjoy the fruits of this marriage.”

I’m in a daze as Colton finally shepherds me from the stables toward the house. I only snap back to myself when a door slams, and I realize I’m locked in the room with Colton.

“Get on the bed,” he commands, stripping his jacket. “Now.”

I slap his hand away. “Don’t touch me.”

He puffs up his chest, his head cocked. “Did you not just see what happened out there? The lengths your father is willing to go through? That was a convincing show. Next time, I’ll kill one of those girls for real.”

“Real?” I blink, unable to reconcile his statement with reality. I saw the blood. Tasted it. Felt it. There is no way in hell that wasn’t real. Unless…

The same way my father has lost his mind, Colton is losing all sense of reality. That fact makes him a more dangerous opponent than I realized.

“That was real, you fucking dumbass,” I snap. “Did you not see that with your own eyes? You think that he’ll stop at those girls? He’ll kill you too! He’ll probably kill both of us!”

“Stop being dramatic, Frances.” Colton towers over me and slams me down with such force that I am left gasping for breath. “You shouldn’t concern yourself with anything but what I expect from you tonight. Your criminal bastard isn’t here to save you, and I intend to take advantage of every part of yourself that you gave to him. Starting with this—” I feel him groping me clumsily through the waist of my gown, and instinct takes over.

He grunts when I kick him so hard, he falls backward.

“You stupid little bitch.” He looks up from the floor, his eyes wild. “I’ll make you pay for that. Real or not, I’ll drag you back to that place and cut you with that knife. Or perhaps I’ll convince your father to stop playing with your lover. Why should he die in a blaze of glory like the others? I say we capture him tonight and cut out his heart while you watch.
