Chapter 18 Then, it was just Skylar and Everett. Looking at him, Skylar didn't see her uncle. She saw the man who had walked away while she was being dragged into the dark. The memory of his retreating back while she screamed for help was a permanent scar on her soul. The sheer trauma made her stomach churn, and she leaned over the edge of the bed, retching. Everett lunged forward, his face pale with concern. "Sky! What's wrong?!" But she held up a hand, stopping him in his tracks. "STAY BACK!" He froze, not daring to take another step.

I'll make you take those words back." He stood up and marched back to the Wilder Estate. He went straight to the dungeon-the place where they kept the "tools." He ordered his guards to beat him, but they were too terrified. So he did it himself. The bed of nails, the whips, the voltage... He'd crawl to her door covered in blood, but she never opened it.
