Scars Fade

Battle Scars BK 2

Summary: As the newest Dauntless Leader in Training, she's excelled. Paz was the ultimate student, quick and fierce...and not afraid to do what needed to be done in order to reach the top. She trained, pushed herself to the edge and further. Tragedy struck in her second stage of training and who she was, who she was meant to be was derailed. She spent months trying to track down the man who killed her friend but she wasn't prepared to face the consequences of who it was. She hasn't told anyone about the truth. Not even her best friend. Her loyalties are torn but she's back and now she's going to be as ruthless as she needs to be in order to finish the path she started and make sure that Jeanine, Eric, Max? They're all going to pay for what they've done.

Hello everyone! I'm glad to introduce Scars Fade, the second installment of what is rapidly planning to be a trilogy. I hope my previous readers are still with me and I welcome any and all new readers. I hope you enjoy this little snippet, the first chapter will be out within the week. Get ready because we're about to go on a wild ride. Paz and Eric aren't the sweetest couple but they hold an intensity that few get to experience and I hope I can express it adequately for the lot of you. Enjoy!


Prologue

"Are you sure you're ready for this?"

"You doubt me?"

"Absolutely not. If anyone can train a bunch of incompetent initiates, it would be you."

"Of course, it would be, Bean Pole."

"Always with that nickname, huh, butterfly?"

"That's who we are. No matter what...we can't forget who we were and where we came from. That's what made us into the badass warriors we are today!"

"You're such an arrogant brat, butterfly!"

"I can't help but completely and utterly agree. But then, that's why you love me..."

"I'll never regret that. I know we won't ever be more than what we are now and always have been. Maybe in another life, we could be more but I think I love you too much to want to be in a relationship with you. If that makes any sense."

"I would pretend to be offended but I feel the same way. Besides, who needs romance in their lives? We do just fine on our own."

"You can't hide from him forever."

"Of course not. That's why I'm going back now, isn't it?"

"...no need to be so snippy, butterfly. You know no matter what path you take, I've always got your back."

"...I know. Thank you."

"Anytime, Pazzy, anytime."

"Time to face the music, Bean Pole."

"Go be ruthless, Paz."

"..."

"Sorry."

"It's fine. I am fine. Now let's go!"
