"Why in the hell would you want to work for the same man who killed your sister?" I ask

"Because it is in the past," she says as her eyes fall onVictor Then she looks at hiain "And because, like I said, we’re now even"

Victor’s gaze breaks and he steps up to o," he says, and walks with side hiet to her feet

"You need me!" she shouts "You know I’m a rare and valuable weapon, Faust!"

With any other person Ia claim like that, but with Nora, it’s absolutely true--she is a rare and valuable weapon

But that doesn’t mean shit to me

Hopefully it doesn’t to Victor

"I would teach Izabel everything I know!"

I stop for about two seconds upon hearing her words, but continue walking right out the door with Victor tugging on my arm

"I HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO!" she calls out as the door begins to close "YOU NEED ME!"

The door shuts off her voice in an instant

Victor stops me in the hallway

"She dies as soon as we know that they’re safe," he says
