I stepped out of the shadows to face my sisters, both laughing.

I flicked my wrist and pinned Henry to the wall with a dagger, only slightly clipping his ear.
my aim was rusty, but it kept him frozen in fear.

my sisters both looked at me and smiled. I had faked my death many moons ago to get out of our toxic academy and join the young king who had over time become corrupt with power.

I smiled back at them and waited for a hug, letting my arms fall open and exposing myself from under my cloak.

I had expected you to hug me. to look at your sibling with love in your eyes. I expected evy to be more aloof and wait for later to pepper me with questions.

I had definitely not ecpectrd to get my feet kicked out from under me.
