Book 5 of the Gun To My Head Series
2nd Book of Zena's story
I recommend reading the other books before this one. I'd highly recommend the first book of Zena's story (Strangling My Voice) before this one; otherwise, you'll be lost.
With the loss of...
I was trudging through the forest when I heard a voice. I stopped and turned to see Ken running up to me.
"Zena! What happened?!" She embraced me.
"I hurt so many people." I cried into Ken. "I lost control and murdered them."
"Who?"
"T-These wolves were trying to hurt Acacia, so I-I killed so many of them." I whispered. "I didn't need to kill them. My parents could've- I hurt them Kennedy. I was wrong. I don't have control. I'm a monster!"
"You can't be a monster when you were protecting others." Ken pulled back. "You're the purest one out of all of us. You're a hero Zena. I know Acacia thinks so as well."
"Should we get back to training?" I mumbled.
"About that... Zena, I want to apologize. I shouldn't have-"
We tightly gripped onto each other when the ground shook. It stopped after a minute of shaking. Ken and I locked eyes. Did an earthquake just happen in- we screamed bloody murder.
Hands shot us from the ground and grabbed our legs. Ken and I were quickly separated and yanked into the ground. I didn't have time to react since the hands dragged me under the ground. I can't believe I'm gonna be buried alive again! I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Well, this turned out better than I anticipated."

"I'd prefer Aunt Lilitu." She smirked at Ken. "And you must be Zena." She crouched in front of me. "You are beautiful like Lara." She ran her eyes over me. "I am curious who tastes better... you or Lara?" Ken and my eyes widened. "That'll be for a different day." She stood.
"What do you want?!" Ken snapped.
"Your death." Lilitu casually remarked. "I hate competition."
