And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Pollux.

I had never seen my sister as upset as she was, and to be honest I thought she was going to kill Zia before I jumped in to pull her off the poor girl. Perhaps Zia was a wicked pain in the ass and deserved every bit of what she got but I wouldn't let Cassie be the one to pull that trigger. I wouldn't let her live with the guilt.

for at least one of us that would believe her. However, even Sansa seemed skeptical, and I wouldn't doubt her for feeling that way. Cassie was my sister,
