These black eyes were supposed to allow her to see things regular eyes were blind to, warnings from Outside. It was rare- only a few Oculi left around the globe- and it was definitely a condition. And she'd have a true excuse for wearing wraparound sunglasses all the time instead of lying about a rare eye condition. Yeah, she'd be blind, but at least then she could go to school instead of having tutors. With their black pupils, black irises, and black everything else, they looked like ebony marbles stuck in her sockets. She stared at the reflection of those eyes now. She chatted online all the time, but that wasn't the same as having another flesh-and- blood fourteen- year- old girl in the same room.īut that flesh- and- blood girl wouldn't stay long once she got a look at Diana's eyes. She could talk to them, as in have conversations, but couldn't really talk to them about things that mattered. She shared this big house with three men- grown men, sworn to protect her with their lives- but they weren't friends.
