Ending the War by LivBil1007

The war pitted brother against brother, and they are not sparing anyone, no matter how innocent. However, with the hand she'd been dealt, Victoria is far from innocent. She stuck around for her sister, Sarah, followed her Father's rules, or at least tried to when nothing was ever good enough for him. He trained her to fight since she was 9, learned to fight, to win, and to not show how she felt about it. Despite hating it, she never dreamed of leaving. Sarah was more important, the bubbly 14-year-old was always her first priority, and she couldn't be more relieved that Sarah had it better than she did. But no matter how much she wants to, Vee can't run away from this war. She has to end it.
