RE: Behind Enemy Lines (Day Three)
Jaden could hear the conflict in her voice. It resonated with what Duncan had told him about her being conflicted. He saw the tremble in her hands. He knew that she end him here and now if she wanted. He took a deep breath and knew with what he said next he may very well have signed his death warrant. "I felt the darkness before. Very recently in fact. I felt it as I saw Duke Saar use my brother as a battering ram. I thought him dead and in that moment the darkness spoke to me. Like a mother speaking to her child. It told me to strike him down with all of my hate. To take my revenge on him." He stood behind her now, knowing that he gave her easier access to end him. "I heard that voice two more times. Once to again take my rage and strike Saar down when he attempted to break you in half and again when Frija used that family as an example."
