Content warning: this story contains some violence and a bit of gore. Enjoy! “This is as far as I go,” Willem said solemnly. “You sure you don’t want to go further?” Armond asked. “We could use another number.” “I haven’t survived all these trips by going into her lair.” Johan chuckled, his broad shoulders bouncing from his laughter. “All the […]

Matthew took me by the arm as we walked down a long hallway. “It’s your big day, Mina!” he said with a smile. “It’s time for you to meet the world.” I returned Matthew’s smile, effortlessly mirroring his cheerful expression.
