I remember fighting Quinn.

Something about her enraged me. It made me want to fight her. To hurt her. To kill her.

I flutter my eyes open and see that I'm in my room, in my bed. No one is in the room. I try to move, but I'm strapped to my bed.

"MALACHAI!" I scream, trying to move my wrists, but it doesn't work. Kai walks in with a plate, stuffing his face with food. "Why the hell am I strapped to my bed?!"

"We had to vervain you." He says with a mouthful of food.

"What for?" I ask, curious but confused.

"You were gonna kill your little brunette friend. You lost control, and it managed to escape its cage." He explains.

It escaped?

If they hadn't vervained me, I would've killed her. But isn't that what I want to do? Kill her? I don't know at this point. I'm so confused.

"Untie me right now." I demand. He shakes his head. "Kai," I warn. He smirks, walking out. "MALACHAI!" I scream again.

I sigh and lay back down, staring at the ceiling. I close my eyes for a moment, allowing the power that I keep hidden to flow through my veins. I open my eyes, feeling more powerful than ever.

It's an addicting feeling. Like the only person who matters is you. But in this case, it's not true. No. Everyone in this school matters. They're valuable. To me or my family. Not my friends or my family. Only my new family. The family that accepts me.

I rip my hands from the straps and unstrap my ankles. I get out of bed and I feel like an enchantress. One who is willing to kill anyone who tries to stop her from getting what she wants.

I walk out of my room, smirking, knowing I'm stronger than everyone else here. I walk down the hall and into the main room to see that everyone is talking about what seems to be a plan. Everyone stops talking once they see me and everyone stares in shock.

"Surprised to see me?" I ask, smirking.

"Now's probably not the time to say this– oh, what the hell? I told you so." Katherine says, smirking at Kai.

"How'd you get out?" Care Bear asks.

"Your little attempt to contain me failed. Now, what's this plan I hear of?" I ask, crossing my arms.

No one speaks.

"Hello? Are you deaf?" I ask, confused and slightly irritated. "Somebody tell me!"

"We were just discussing the plan for the war and when we will strike." Katherine finally speaks.

"So now you're gonna talk?" They're all getting on my fucking nerves.

"We have everything figured out." Kai says.
