Dark Truths

I used to be Everly Marrs, then D, W, J, K, and T kidnapped me to force my father’s hand. As hard as I tried not to lose myself to their games, I couldn’t have imagined how much worse things could get.


Six months trapped in hell. Six months forgetting who I used to be. Six months just trying to survive.


I got out—eventually—and there they were, all five of them. One moment I was in hell, and then suddenly, I returned to purgatory. They keep telling me what will happen to those who took what belonged to them. They keep telling me what will be done to their enemies.


I’m not sure I can believe them. I’m not sure a word they say is true.


The Letters, they’re still at war, and I’m still in the middle of it. I was an ant, and everyone around me stomped on me.


But, I used to be Everly Marrs, and— dammit— I will be again.
