Teaser Tuesday: Origin

Another Origin Teaser! This. Is. So. Heart. BREAKING.

“We can’t lose you,” she said after a few moments of awkward as hell silence. “You have to understand that we aren’t doing this because we don’t care about Kat. We’re doing this because we love you.”
“But I love her,” I said without hesitation.
Dee’s eyes widened, probably since it was the first time she’d heard me say it out loud, well, about anyone other than my family. I wished I had said it more often, especially to Kat. Funny how that kind of shit always turns out in the end. While you’re deep in something, you never say or do what you need to. It’s always after the fact, when it’s too late that you realize what you’ve should’ve said or done.
It couldn’t be too late. I knew that. The fact that I was still alive was testament to that. Like Dee said, though, there were worse things than death.

***

There ARE worse things than death. One of them is watching the ones you love being tortured and not being able to do anything about it.

Seeing Daemon like this... ahh, it breaks my heart. I don't even know which is worse anymore: Kat being tortured by the Daedalus, or Daemon suffering from his loss and his knowledge of Kat trapped with the DOD. Just give me another teaser to make me feel better.

And you know what? I don't want Daemon seeking out Kat only to find out she's no longer the girl he loves. That will definitely shatter all the readers' hearts.
