I’m not sure what I was thinking that day. It was a normal Thursday, nothing new or exciting had occurred in the morning. I’d risen from bed, taken a shower and brushed my teeth. I’d then jumped on the 8:05 bus that ran a short distance between my house and the county library where I worked.

After straightening my knee-length skirt, I pushed open the door that led into the interior of the library.

Some things are best left alone. I know this. I should stand by it. That would be the safest option. But, well, I just can’t do that - because the thing I should leave alone...is everything.

And then I meet them - bikers, the Knight Brothers.

They will protect me. They will break me. They will consume me. And when I'm left picking up the pieces, the power inside me will be unleashed.
