Chapitre 87: Chapter 87 - Ransom

"What the fuck?" I asked, my arm sliding around Kiema's shoulders.

"I'm not sure I heard you right. I'm going to join some gods and/or goddesses who want to destroy humanity?" She leaned forward, her body almost vibrating.

Ten/Saint nodded. "That is what the book seems to be saying."

"Is that what Anda could have meant in the spirit landscape? About Kiema being bigger and more powerful than we knew or understood?" Xander asked, his expression pinched.

"And what would make me decide to join these deities?" Kiema asked before Ten/Saint could answer Xander. "Were they there when I was being beaten or tortured? When my life was nothing but a shell for my parents' use? They can go fuck themselves. I'm not helping them do anything."

She sat back, arms crossed over her heaving chest.

We all sat there, silent in the aftermath of her rage.

"Ki-Ki's out, I'm out," Asher said as he echoed her posture.
