The Rise
“So I had been right, this was where Jackson was taking me. I’d tried to tell myself that it wasn’t true, that maybe he would veer off at any moment and take me somewhere else, but there was no way to deny it now, and this made very hurtful realizations come to me, though I really had no right to feel betrayed by Jackson. He’s been working for the King this whole time, the traitor. Look at him. He won’t even look at you, Warrior. “I don’t know that. Maybe he’s just being controlled by the King.... Maybe he can’t help what he’s doing, just like Nelly can’t help whatever it is that she’s doing. We don’t know anything yet.” That’s bullshit, and you know it. Jackson had been flying down the highway, pushing the car well above the speed limit, and I could see the sky lightening with morning now, though no sun was peeking over the horizon. It would be soon, maybe another ten minutes or so. I felt oddly like I was waiting in line for a roller coaster, though I had only ever been on one in my entire life.MoreLess
