🚨 SPOILER ALERT 🚨 IF YOU HAVE NOT READ Red Queen, by Victoria Aveyard, DO NOT READ THIS!!!

Stare straight ahead, they said.
Look menacing, they said.
That's all you need to be a Silver, they said.
Be cruel, they said.
Act Silver, they said.
You ARE Silver, they said.

They never said it would cost me my sanity.
They never said it would cost me my heart.
They never said I would lose my soul to the darkness.
And they most certainly never said that I would lose my own brother to Death himself.

I am NOT cruel. I have a heart.
I am NOT Silver. Blood, red as the dawn, flows through my veins.
But I can look Silver. I can be menacing and stare right through human's bones.
I can be a pet. I have been a pet. I can be your Mareena Titanos. But only if it saves the ones who have my heart.
