Chapter 22

All my worst nightmares had been confirmed. I had just fallen for another one of Jason's schemes. The Silo Witch was right to punish him for his actions. After the talk, I was supposed to regroup with Lisa.

Ms. Mary Ann approached my mother.

"It's okay," she said.

"But-" I began.

"We can have her apologize later, right now we need to stop her dad," Lisa told me.

I decided to go after Medea then and there. I was going to break the cycle of pain...
