Unbelief

Sinna witnesses her best friend taken by force in the night, and knows Jacob is destined for a fate worse than death. She’s heard the rumors, the whispers of what happens in Rehabilitation. She’s seen the dead looks in the eyes of those who return. If they return. But she can’t ignore what she’s seen, no matter the danger. How can she abandon Jacob to such a fate? She must try to save him, no matter the cost.

Somehow though, I'm going the right way, I know I am. I'm not sure how I know...it's just a knowing I feel deep down in my bones. Sinna has stumbled into a world unlike any she's ever known. Her eyes have been opened and there's no going back.

This plan—this crazy, stupid, impossible plan—could work. At the very least, it will serve to get the boys back into the folds of the Elite, so they don’t come to any harm for helping me. And it’ll get me back inside so I can try to save my father—but then what? How will I get him out? We have no guarantees this will even work…
