Chapter 27
Iheard what the bodyguard said on the phone. I listened the whole time. I didn’t want to miss a thing. The bodyguard was getting close to figuring out the truth. I would have to act soon or lose my chance entirely.
The first time, at the college, I didn’t feel so alone. Out here where the sun was constantly shining and that horrible volcano spewed its hot red lava down its side and into that area of homes, I was all by myself.
The volcano scared me. I waited by the house the night Storm was there until the very last second. I wanted to see the lava rolling toward me and watch it grip everything in its path helpless to do anything except surrender.
I wanted Storm to feel that way. I wanted her to know I was the one who had gripped her life in my hands, and she would have no choice but to surrender to me.
I would be there when she ate the poison the next time. I would watch as she collapsed to her death.
And no one would be able to help her.
