Penelope
I am not the one talking. I swear that's not me. I can feel myself loosing control and Melody slowly taking over.
“ Penelope, you can't do that.” Aaron tries to warn me.
“ Why not? Why can't I do it?” I snap, angry at Bane for pushing me to the corner but more mad at myself for leaving my people defendless.
"What about Mia?" Aaron's voice cuts through my rage like a blade. "What happens to Mia while you are burning everything down? You think Bane won't kill her the moment he sees you coming? The moment he realizes you're not going to give him what he wants?" He asks, holding my shoulders in a tight grip.
The question pierces through my fury, drawing me back to reality and cutting through the rage consuming me.
Right!
What happens to Mia and Mira if I take that route?
