“Bunny?”
They… they hadn’t left me? Neither of them had. I moved, but he jolted a step forward, hand outstretched.
“Stop.” The command seized me. Unexpected. Foreign. So much stronger than Dan’s had ever been.
Hecanprotect us…
“Stay still.”
He took a step in, and he was so pale he looked like a ghost. Bunny was still clutched in his fist.
“Drop it.”
I frowned, then looked down.
Drop… what…?
Around me, scattered like a messy puzzle, were a thousand shards of the mirror. Of me. All peering back at funny angles. Pieces of me that would never go back together right.
They’d always be misaligned, missing pieces, missing… me…
In my fist, I held my switchblade.
It was open, but I don’t remember opening it…
“Drop. It.”
KNOX
This room was poison. Her scent was thick in the air, smothering me, stealing my sanity.
I stepped away, but Rogue’s growl stopped me.
“Give it back!”
My cheek ached from his punch, but I was spitting blood.
He looked ready to lunge again, but he was holding on by the thinnest thread.

So he didn’t hurt her?
It made me more angry, seeing him protect her. Like he had any right.
I took a step back.
Leave.
Frosted moonflower smothered me. Desperate. Frightened. Fracturing me to the bone. If I didn’t leave right now, I would break.
Rogue lunged again, eyes wild as he shoved me against the wall. I growled, but he was slamming his head forward and the heavy iron of the muzzle cage sent the world spinning.
Agony split my skull as the cold floor rushed to meet me.
I felt something ripped from my grip.
“Rogue…” I tried to bring him into focus, but it was hard.
