And I will have my vengeance.
I watch as Eldrion tries to summon his precious shadows back to him, but they no longer obey his commands.
They are mine.
“They do not listen to you now, Eldrion,” I hiss. “They listen to me.”
I barely even need to think about what I want them to do to him; it is like they are me. They are inside my head. My body. My mind. My soul.
They are mine.
And they have Eldrion trapped.
With viperous strength, they coil around the fae lord, trapping him. Pinning him. Binding him with their darkness.
I focus my gaze on Alana. “Thank you,” I tell her. “I could not have done this without you.” I extend my hand.
She stares at me in dawning horror as she realises the truth. That I used her. That this was my plan.
“I want you beside me when I take the world back to how it was before.”
Alana clutches her stomach. She shakes her head, her eyes growing damp with tears. Beside her, Briony is sobbing and trembling.
Weak. They are all so weak.
A sigh racks my chest. I really did think Alana might be better than this. Still, there is time for me to show her the error of her ways.
“Poor sweet girl.” I laugh as she vomits on the floor. “I guess this means you won’t be joining me after all?”
Alana rips her gaze away from me and blasts my shadows with her magic, begging Eldrion to help her.
He tumbles free, but it’s too late.
I rise higher into the air, my wings filling the sky, shadows swirling around me. I breathe them in, let them swell in my lungs and fill the dark void in my ribcage, and then I am gone.
Do they think it’s over?
Do they think this is it?
Sad, pathetic creatures.
I finally have the power I need. And I will use it to take everything I deserve.

Alana
Pain swarms behind my eyes, needling at me like wasps. Blurring my vision. Although I’m still wearing Eldrion’s robe, I feel suddenly exposed. Completely bare. As if my body and soul have been ripped from my bones and laid out on the floor for everyone to see. Bloody and shapeless.
Finn was dead.
And then he wasn’t.
And now he’s a monster.
I stare at the empty space where, just moments ago, he hovered in the air in front of us. My mind is reeling, trying to process what happened.
Every time I blink, I see him behind my eyes.
