Author's Note: I'm so so sorry for not updating in forever! This is more of an apology note than a chapter, but I have a small excerpt for you guys:
Six's Point of View:
My eyes open slightly, taking in the dim interior of a train car. I'm leaning against a few crates, like I remember from before I fell asleep, but Marina and Nine are no longer sitting alert next to me like they promised to be.
I stifle a small laugh as I see Marina curled up on the ground next to me, fast asleep. Her knees are tucked close to her body, and her right arm rests bent underneath her head. She looks so calm and peaceful that I don't want to wake her.
I'm also uncomfortably aware of someone breathing on my arm. My shoulder feels like there's a lead boulder sitting on it, but when I turn my head, I realize that it's only Nine. He's fast asleep, too, with his head resting on my shoulder. I'm tempted to startle him awake and see him yelp, but I merely roll my eyes. I'll just let him sleep. He needs it.
As I doze off again, I wonder what's gotten into me. I don't remember caring this much for anyone else after Katarina died, but at this moment, I know the remaining Garde have filled up the empty space in my chest. I smile a little.
And Sam, too. I hope he's safe.
Author's Note: Ok, yes, I know this was way too short to be called a chapter. I made it to let you guys know that I haven't given up on this story and that I haven't been kidnapped by Mogs or something. I'm going to be super busy for the next 2 weeks. :( I'm so sorry! I hope you enjoyed this short fraction of a chapter, though!
I just read Revenge of Seven and it's so amazing, but I was also kind of disappointed! I'm really mad at Five, but I feel sorry for him at the same time. That's possible, right? And Eight...I'm going to hide in a closet and cry again.
Tips for writing evil characters would be much appreciated and are desperately needed for the next few chapters!
