“She started it,” Cyrus scoffs then kisses me. “Now hurry, we need to go.” He grabs my hands and takes me over to the windows.
“I can’t just leave!” I snap at him. “What about the ship and the crew?”
Cyrus sets me up on the ledge. “Then Iris will become captain,” he says. “This will be her ship and her crew and-” he grins brightly as he laughs. “Your family and your blushing bride will be hers to command. Now won’t they?” He throws open the windows and looks out over the edge.
“You can fly right?” He asks me over the howl and den of the wind.
“I hope you not betting our lives on that!” I blurt.
Cyrus winks at me and as he leans in for a kiss, Megaera charges and shoves him out the window. I scream, sitting up as I see the ropes are falling from her wrists. I look back out the window, seeing Cyrus is holding on for his dear life.
“I’ve got you, hold on!” I grabs his hands but Megaera wrenches me back, throwing me down on the ground.
“There is a reason why Furies don’t marry men,” Megaera snarls down at me. “I won’t have you fall to that fate.”
“Just wait!” I cry out.
Megaera stomps her heel down on Cyrus’s hand and he yells in pain. “Men take and break,” she stomps again. “And they never repair what they’ve smashed.” She brings her heel down again and Cyrus is holding on with one hand.
“That doesn’t mean you have to kill him!” I rush forward and dive out the window.
