He spoke. “Your cousin is an excellent cook.”
I took another step down, feeling the temperature drop with each movement. “Yeah.”
“Can you cook as good?”
“I think so. We both had the same teacher.”
“Big Mama?”
“Yes.”
The darkness enveloped me completely, consuming my senses and instilling a newfound fear.
Goddamn it! I’m supposed to be eating Banks’s cobbler and fucking Lei in my bed tonight, not walking in the fucking dark.
Pausing for a moment, I shook my head shutting out the irrational fears beginning to claw at my sanity.
This wasn't the time to lose control.
Not now.
Song urged gently. "Keep moving, Moni."
“Okay. Okay.”
“Will you cook for Leo and me in the morning? Something nice for breakfast.”
“That depends on if I’m not scared out of my mind.”
“We’re family. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“Yeah well. . .tell that to my nerves.”
And tell that to Yan’s decapitated head.
Either way, my statement tickled Song and he laughed.
That sound served as my little beacon in the darkness.
So, I continued walking down what felt like an endless staircase.
My mind raced.
My thoughts tumbled over each other in pure anxiety.
I made sure to not think of Lei’s heart breaking in the hallway, thinking I would be coming out to leave. If I did, it would have been even harder to leave.
All I could do was focus on my future.
Where is Song taking me?
What is waiting for me tonight?
What does Leo have planned?
What fucking lessons does he plan to teach?
And even more. . .how does he plan to make me even stronger?
