Dead eyes.
Wide open and lifeless, staring endlessly without seeing
anything.
That’s the first thing I see when I blink my own eyes
open. The sunlight seems too bright, and my eyelids scratch
against my eyes as if there are a million grains of sand
trapped behind them. A dull, throbbing ache fills my head,
and I can’t keep my lids open for more than a second.
Blackness tugs at me, and part of me wants to sink back
down into its depths.

It’s peaceful there.
Quiet.
Nothing hurts.
But I can’t, and there’s a reason I can’t. Something I need
to see or do. Something important.
I can’t remember what it is. I don’t know where I am, or
why dead eyes stare at me from just a few inches in front of
my face.
Blink.
The scratch of my eyelids makes me wince, and I try to
keep my eyes open longer this time, but a heavy weight tugs
them closed.
Blink.
The eyes in front of me never blink. I can’t keep my eyes
open, and those will never close again.
Blink.
The blackness in my head is fading away, consciousness
slowly returning. Memories start to filter through my head,
and with each flashing image that plays in my mind’s eye,
my heartbeat begins to pound harder and harder.
My abduction. My rescue. Marcus, Theo, and Ryland
explaining to me that they’re part of a deadly game.
We left the safe house. We were going to go somewhere
else. And then…
A car collided with ours. They boxed us in, shooting at us
—Dominic Roth and Carson Purcell. We split up, Theo and
Ryland staying behind and Marcus pulling me through the
network of warehouses at a dead sprint.
Marcus.
Oh god. Marcus.
We were cornered by Carson. He hunted us down and had
a gun trained on Marcus. I tried to move, tried to stop it, to
do something… but Marcus didn’t let me.
My body jerks as if it can still feel the impact of the three
bullets as they hit his body. His arms were wrapped so
tightly around me that I could feel each one hit him.
Then we fell.
Blood. There was so much blood.
Fear floods me like a shot of adrenaline, forcing my mind
fully awake before it’s ready. My eyelids fly open again, and
it feels like shards of glass prick my eyeballs as too much
light fills my vision. I don’t let them close though, sucking in
a gasping breath as I refocus on the dead eyes in front of me,
forcing myself to really look at them.
Blue.
Just blue.
A sort of slate blue, darkened by death.
No brown anywhere. Both irises are the same color, unlike
the earth and air of Marcus’s right eye.
It’s not him.
Relief makes my limbs feel cool and tingly, and I draw in
