Excerpt!
My scream echoes throughout the entire house. I scream until my voice is hoarse. Until my ears are ringing. Until I’m sure even the most unconcerned parent will come, at least to make sure I stop. One minutes passes. Two. My voice turns hoarse.
The lock turns with a soft click.
I’m sitting on my bed when Mom opens the door. It’s enough to make me start, because I didn’t expect her to be home. It’s only been an hour since Daddy locked me in my room.
Her hair is up in a beautiful arrangement, her gown long. She looks beautiful. There’s a necklace of diamonds glittering around her neck, and it makes me wonder if they pulled out some of the black-market diamonds to make wear. Or if maybe she would consider that beneath her. Those diamonds are good enough to sell, good enough to use to purchase proper diamonds from the jewelry store.
“Emily,” she says, her voice sharp. “Why on earth are you making that racket?”
“Because something’s going to happen.”
Though I’m less and less sure about what that something will be. Dad’s down in the parlor with his gun on the coffee table, a one-man army defending his stash of diamonds. His paranoia has kept him safe from consequences all these years. What’s to say it will stop working now? But there’s no time for a new plan. Only improvisation.
Because that scream will bring more than an exasperated parent.
It will bring Niko.
