"You stay on my ass," I whisper urgently as another peal cuts through the night followed by a crash. "You hear me, Nia? On my ass." "I'm not leaving you for anything," Nia replies, amber eyes meeting my own as I arm up with my own blades and storm out of the door of our little home into chaos. My eyes widen.
