Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

“No idea, but I bet she was the one who sold us out.”

Elspeth didn’t know what to feel. “She didn’t seem that bad. How could she do this?”

“Hey, can’t judge a book by its cover, you know.” Gilbert lay on his bed and stared at the sculpted ceiling. “I’ll try to find a hole in their defenses and bust you out.”
