I wasn't avoiding you.""If you're going to lie, at least look me in the eyes while doing that, will you?" He sounded amused."Alright. There was nothing to talk about.

CHAPTER 1.
Danika huddled down in her empty, cold cell. She had been there for one week and craved to be outside...or anywhere—anywhere at all that wasn’t the cold barren space. Time seemed to have become lost to her while trapped in the cells, consumed by her thoughts and the memories that plagued her.Only one bunk bed occupied the side of the room.

Danika jerked forward with a gasp, and pain slivered across her scalp. She internally curses herself
