Pretty Things Bleed

An eye for an eye.
It sounds fair.
He took from her, so she will take from him.
He spilled Their blood, so she will spill his.
Rue has spent two years turning grief into anger, anger into hatred, and hatred into a promise.
She will have revenge.
But revenge is not as simple as the wound that creates it.
It changes you, it consume you. It will have you decide how much pain is enough, and what you are willing to lose to deliver it.
It asks you if the person you become is worth the prize.
Rue thought she knew the answer.
It was fair.
It had to be fair.
It was an eye for an eye.
