The Defiance novel

---- He looked up at me and slowly stood, too, he was really tall that I stepped back a bit, because he's huge but good-looking. "I'll tell Seth, wait for the go signal before you go" "Why? I can go there by myself; I don't need permission, do I?" "You need it. You can't go outside if Seth says you can't" "Am Ia prisoner here?", I asked, feeling anger slowly rising inside of me. "No.

but please refrain from doing something dangerous" "Like going out is dangerous.", I stated starting to get out of the dining hall. "Oh, trust me it is" I glared at him. "So stay in your room or you can roam around if you want, just wait patiently if you can go visit Dean or not", Maxx gestured his hand to the hallway in front of us like a gentleman but after calling someone, he left. I huffed stomping my feet while the man silently followed me.

Third Person's POV "She wants to see her brother today", Maxx stated as he closed the door. Not even surprised finding Sev hiding again on his study room, drinking in a very ---- early morning. But he couldn't stop sighing heavily at the scene. "Keep her here. Don't let her out of the house", Sev was staring into space or something outside the window, with a glass of brandy in his hand, twirling it around. "You can't do that. She will hate you" "T don't care.

She must hate me already so it doesn't make any difference", he took a sip. His face emotionless given that what he had taken in was quite a strong one. "She doesn't hate you ...yet. She just doesn't understand what's happening now, all you have to do is tell her the truth, explain to her all of these", Maxx explained, dumping his body at the single seated sofa near him. "Easier said than done", then another sip and another until he downed it in a single go.

He placed the glass on the marble table to pour another round. "Do you plan on drinking all day? 'Cause if you are, Donnie and the others are on point willing to take your little Alice to her brother" Hissing after another shot, minimal expression changed on him though his eyes did not leave staring into nothing in particular. "And ask them if they want to die immediately. I can ---- give them that", Sev answered.

"But she's asking if she's a prisoner here since I told her that she needed your permission first before going out" "Why did you tell her that?", Maxx wasn't faze of Sev's angry reaction. Out of all Maxx was trying to get reaction from him; this one was the most successful one. "Well, it's true, isn't it? You want her to tell you if she's going somewhere or not, not just tell you but you want to be able to decide for her.

Still remember how you stalked her back then, watching her from afar like a psycho", Sev just stood and took the last gulp of brandy. "But you don't have to tell her that" "And I said that she's not a prisoner here so don't worry too much, man. Oh, believe me, she's really pissed off right now. And the way you're acting this morning at breakfast, man, that's not really nice. What has gotten to you?", Maxx asked curiously. Sev just glanced at him with no hint of any emotion.

Just blank, trying to hide what he was. "Don't try to read me now", and he went out of the room, Maxx followed , only to find Alice went out to her brother, thanks to Johny. "T'll kill him, I swear" ---- "T'll help you", Maxx chuckled.
