Evan snorted and stared atas he spoke, “It is weakness not to fight, whether we are outnumbered or not. We should fight them to our deaths, it is the only honorable way to end this.”
I shuddered in fear and gripped his hand. “Evan, I have seen the women fight. Their weapons are terrible. Don’t choose to die Like that. There must be…”
“There is only this and death, Ciara,” he said looking over at me.

“The man that died screaming before the moon shifted?” Evan asked. “I remember. We had to hear the misery of his family as they died one by one. It was awful.” hey have venom?” I whispered.

It made sense when they explained it. They were being trained so Damien would be a General, eventually. For now they split their tbetween learning and satisfying their owner’s debt.
“Do you have free tto enjoy yourselves?” I asked.
I knew how much they loved chuke. If they couldn’t play that confusing game, I’m sure it would upset them.
“The evenings are ours,” Bane told me. “Sometimes we go to the arena.
Other times we stay in our rooms or walk in the mines.”
They talked about their quarters. It was much Like the compound, but the rooms were cut into the old mines. There was almost limitless space, so much of it wasn’t used. Damien and his Brothers spent hours wandering the forgotten shafts.
