I don't know how long Raker carried me, just that when I finally look up from his neck, sun is pouring down into the forest, right above us.
My body is curled tightly against his chest.
There's a mess of vines blocking our path, and he shifts my weight to one arm, pulls his sword out with the other, slashes the vines to pieces, then sheaths it again. All in one smooth motion. Then both his arms are holding me again.

"Don't kill anyone," I say, still fighting for breath. Anyone else, I guess.
He looks over his shoulder at me. His eyes slip down my dress, gaze snagging on my chest, which I can feel spilling from the top of my bodice since he tied it so damned tightly. "Be happy if I don't kill everyone," he says, before slamming the door behind him.

Then, he goes rigid. "I can smell him all over you," he snarls. His eyes are alight with nothing short of fury.
"If I didn't know better, I would say you were jealous," I counter.
"Good thing you know better," he growls, our lips just inches apart.
We're both breathing too quickly, both fuming.
Just at that moment, the doors fly open.

"Any human with more courage than an immortal has a friend in me.”

"You are silver. Marked by the gods themselves.
They should be doing nothing short of going down on their gods-damned knees."
I swallow. It almost hurts. "I don't see you kneeling, immortal," I say.
His smile grows. "Soon enough, human," he says. "Soon enough."
Then we start down the stairs.

"Take it," I say.
"Poison" I give him my best smile. "No. When I kill you, it will be with my blade.
"I would expect nothing less, Aris," he says, before uncorking the bottle with his teeth, then downing it.

"Yes, and careful who you tell it to. Names have power. Sword names, most of all."
I lift a brow at him. "Are you telling me I should be afraid of you?" At this, he grins, revealing teeth that look particularly sharp. "You should be running for the gates, human."

I can tell he's fighting the sleep that's coming. He's fighting to stay awake. He tries to shift himself to be more upright, but his eyes are blinking closed. He's losing consciousness. I pull back, so I'm right in front of him.
I shrug a shoulder. "It's okay. I'1l be with you," I say, meaning it as a mocking threat.
It's the last thing he hears before he goes under.

Fuck shame. Fuck hiding. I've been through too much-this body has survived too much to be ashamed of itself.
I rip my shirt over my head and throw it to the ground. Only the tight band of fabric around my breasts remains. He sees it all now.
Silver. Thin roots of silver, faintly sparkling through the remaining darkness.
The exact color a knight like him has trained to hunt and kill.

I look at Raker, and I see mercilessness.
But I also see the knight that carried me until I woke up. That has trained me, every day since I marked him, like he wants me to be able to do it again.

Fuck. Him.
"I hate you," I spit into his face, my bones screaming against his pres-sure, our swords clashed between us.
"Hate. Me." He pushes against my blade. "Harder," he growls.
Then his blade pulls back and slams against mine with such force, my back hits the cliff face. A gasp spills from my lips.
