FREE-FALL

{Fourth Wing fanfic. I do not own Fourth Wing, Rebecca Yarros does.}

"Because to them, you're just prey."

『 If I was going to die,
I was going to go out like a flame.
Keeps going until worn, and eventually disappears- dies.
And I would rather die at the hands of my brother's friends bully than let him keep harassing Sorrengail.
Even though I don't really like Sorrengail. 』

Vanya Viperess is known as the gossip girl of BWC, Basgiath War College, due to her gathering countless dirt on her peers. It's incredible- it's like she has ears around the campus. She's also known as the 'sailor-mouth' or 'fireheart' due to her babbling without a care, or being hot-headed.
But she's also known as a sister- as she's protective of her twin brother, Reed Viperess.
And normally she doesn't care about his friends.
But when his friend, Violet Sorrengail almost gets killed during her sleep, something snapped in Vanya. Even if Violet got a little body-guard, she thinks it's not enough for Violet's safety.
So she decides to *become* the true shadow, watching from afar, making sure Violet's alright.

The one goal Vanya put as number one instead of graduation and life was protect her brother, Reed at all costs, but, now it's Reed and his friends.
Shall she succeed?
