KNox stoop on the bottom step before the stage, chest heaving, struggling
to catch his breath. The room around him wavered for a moment. Shock,
maybe? He clenched his hands to center himself. Everything about tonight
was outside the experience of a seventeen-year-old, so he’d cut himself a
little slack for his weakness.

The chill of the underground room beat against his heated skin. Where
chaos had reined moments before, now silence sounded just as loud. He
took in the wooden pews and old floor spread out before him. The stone
walls. Committing it all to memory.
Slowly he zeroed in on his friends before him, battered and bloody
directly in front of him. Gray, who had fought with them though he barely
knew them. Callahan, looking shattered and shell-shocked. Ryker, his dark
head bent low over his sister, lying broken in his arms. Nate, a deep frown
on his face, though Knox could see the wheels turning in his mind. Logan,
staring down at his bloody palms as if he’d never seen them before.
Brothers by heart…now forged by fire.
Slowly he reached out, laying his hands on the shoulders closest to him.
One on Gray. One on Logan. He ignored the wreckage behind him. They’d
deal with that later. This was no time for panic—he had to fix this.
One by one each of them reached out to the next until they formed an
unbreakable circle, Grace unconscious in the center, now resting against her
brother’s legs.
Knox met each gaze in turn, responsibility heavy on him. How had this
happened? More important, how had they all come out alive?
“Thank you,” he choked out.
Several of them returned stoic nods. Callahan’s blue, blue eyes filled
with tears. Knox knew he’d never forget the sight.
“I don’t know what will happen now,” he said. “Doesn’t matter. What
matters is us. We will protect each other.”
They’d proven that already—while everyone else had scattered like the
rats they were.
“And we will never tell anyone the details of what happened here.
Tonight.”
“What about the police?” Callahan whispered, ever on the straight and
narrow.
“Fuck the police,” Ryker yelled. “What good have they ever done?”
Ryker was right. Whoever had been in this room tonight, they would
know the police, be tied to them, a lot tighter than a bunch of prep-school
boys. “They won’t be able to help us, protect us,” Knox confirmed.
Nate nodded. “We have to take care of each other.”
They just had to figure out how to do that. “Ryker, you’ve got Grace?”
Ryker squeezed his arms around her shoulders. “Yes. I think so.” He
smoothed her hair back from her forehead. “I think she’ll be okay.”
“I’ll help you,” Gray said.
Good. That was Grace taken care of.
Logan glanced over Knox’s shoulder to the stage behind him. “How do
we deal with that?”
Knox wished he had a good answer. Would the golden ghosts come
back? Was someone waiting outside for them now? No one knew they were
here except the phantoms who had fled.
