Eloise
Darling, you take the high horse
and I'll take the high road
and I'll take the high road
The ice was shattering beneath her feet, she well knew. But as long as Jack was next to her, he'd go under if she did. That was the entire fucking point. They were tied together now, in all of this.
Nodding, her cocky games finally at rest, Eloise sat a touch straighter trying very hard not to look at Jack's clenched fists. "Five letters, addressed to the rulers in Halo and the Hollowed Grounds, as well as your new plaything the Governor here. The other two you'll not know. " She began, spelling it out clearly for him (and for her own safety really, given she'd only have one chance at this). "Should I disappear or be found dead, those letters will be sent and everything you've built here will come crashing right the fuck down."
Eloise's heart was thudding so loudly in her chest she was sure it was drowning out her words, but she pushed ahead just the same. "So all of this? This sleep on the floor, Eloise, this heel when I tell you to, Eloise? It's done, Jack. It might have taken me a while to figure it out, but this secret of yours cuts both ways. You want to treat me like a godsdam dog? That's fine. Only now instead of some bitch beneath your boot, I'll be a fucking show dog that you'll do your damndest to keep safe." Because if you fucking don't, everyone will know your secret.
