“I promise, Em,” I whispered against her head. “I’m never going to leave you like that again. From now on, it’s me and you. Always. Me and you.”
Eventually, Emmy cried herself to sleep, and the Abcurses managed to pry me out of the room. I shuffled into the dining hall after them, everything in my mind feeling numb. I barely even noticed the looks I was getting. Siret had used Trickery to put normal clothes on me again, so it must have had something to do with the rebellion, or with Atti.
Or maybe it was just the usual.
The Dweller Who Didn’t Belong—
“Willa,” Coen groaned. “Stop. Making. Up. Titles. You belong with us, don’t worry about everyone else.”
“Oh, really?” I turned so that I could face him, walking backwards. Driving Coen to frustration had lit up a small spark of life somewhere inside all the numbness. “You mean I’m good enough for you now that I’m a badass Chaos Be—”
“Just shout it into the hallways,” Yael broke in dryly.
“Bitch,” I finished. “Badass Chaos Bitch.”
“One more title,” Coen warned, his eyes growing dark, “one more, especially one that bad, and I’ll—”
But he never got to finish his sentence, because I had started running. Admittedly, it wasn’t the best plan. They were bigger than me. They were faster than me. They were full-blown special-sauce gods and I was just a hatchling god, but I had Chaos on my side.
“Chaos!” I shouted, pointing at a dweller’s cart as he tried to wheel it past me.
Nothing happened.
“That’s not how it works!” Yael shouted behind me.
I flung out my hand to do it again, but a body was already crashing into me. Strong hands lifted me up, flinging me over a broad shoulder.
“Fuck breakfast,” Rome grunted, the words travelling through his shoulders and into my stomach. “We haven’t slept in two sun-cycles. We’re going back to bed. Chaos can wait.”
To be continued.
